Over the last few decades, Oasis has transcended being more than simply a band, to become something more akin to a myth.
Their leading duo – now-estranged brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher – haven't been seen together since the band's breaking up in 2009, but just this morning, fans woke to an extremely cryptic tweet that can only suggest that a reunion is imminent.

The post, which was also shared by Noel Gallagher and the band’s X account, featured tomorrow's date atop the band's signature logo. Are mum and dad finally getting back together?
With the potential news weighing heavy on our minds, we've decided to reminisce on their 90s fashion sense as part of the pioneering Cool Britannia set.
Donning plenty of parkas, leather bombers, infamously shrunken denim jackets and wind breakers – both Liam and Noel were big fans of bold outerwear. Of course, hailing from Manchester (a place whose sonic output was recently paid homage to by CHANEL), this was also a practical uniform for the brothers growing up.
But both on stage and off, the uniform was often paired with Liam's collection of coloured Kangol bucket hats, or high-end British heritage houses like Burberry or Fred Perry.
For all the 90s nostalgia your week needs, we take a look back at the best of Oasis' style from the 90s below...

In typical English fashion, the boys often leant into cable knit sweaters – and we love this cream-hued oversized iteration with a mock neck.
