With characters such as the well-knitted BoJack Horseman and IG accounts dedicated to Animal Crossing fits fulfilling our animated sartorial needs, it's unlikely you've spent much time recently (or ever) considering the style offerings of cartoons from the ’90s and ’00s. Well, that's all about to change.

If you ask us, the oft-overlooked ’90s and ’00s animated characters in our list carry as much clout as any Instagram influencer. From half-and-half shirts and scumbro aesthetics to Margiela-inspired coats and vintage threads, these illustrated style dons know what's up.

Check out our roundup of the best-dressed cartoon characters from the ’90s to the mid-’00s below.

Rocko

Show: Rocko's Modern Life

Years: 1993-1996

Look: ’90s-print bowling shirt with no pants

Editor's notes: Rocko's choice of attire might give off a slight moved-to-Miami and developed-raging-coke-habit vibe (by way of Saved by the Bell; the opening credits clearly inspired his shirt's graphics and colorway) but really, he was just a humble Aussie wallaby trying to make a buck. Little did he know that he would become the inspiration behind the bowling shirt trend that's been everywhere the last few summers.

Dexter

Show: Dexter's Laboratory

Years: 1995-2003

Look: the “blouson blanche”

Editor's note: Did this guy work for Margiela or what? While naive childhood you probably thought Dexter was simply an evil nerd, we never truly appreciated how haute his haughtiness was. That white lab coat is curiously similar to the jackets (aka “blousons blanche”) Margiela staff wear, which would explain why this tiny, creepy genius seemed to carry so much clout.

Daria and Jane

Show: Daria

Years: 1997-2001

Look: thrift store honey

Editor's note: There are few fictional characters that nail the "you can't sit with us" look quite like Daria Morgendorffer and Jane Lane, aka the OG kweens of not giving a flying F. Donning military boots and vintage-style blazers in autumnal shades of green and red, their now iconic aesthetic at once summarizes the true pain of teenage angst, totally subverts preppy style, and delivers the kind of rebellious attitude most trust-fund hipsters spend their days knee-deep in thrift stores trying to achieve.

Bender

Show: Futurama

Years: 1999-2013

Look: retro futurism

Editor's note: While "alcoholic, whore-mongering, chain-smoking gambler" (Leela's words, not ours) probably isn't a vibe most robots should be aspiring to, Bender knows better. This hunk of glistening junk realizes he's channeling Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell in metallic Versace mini-dresses circa 1999 in both look and attitude, and he's here for it. And so are we.

Debbie Thornberry

Show: The Wild Thornberrys

Years: 1998-2004

Look: Bleach-era Kurt Cobain goes chasing waterfalls

Editor's note: Debbie's aesthetic is so grunge meets Herbal Essences commercial meets off-duty TLC that we just cannot deal — and she probably wouldn't care if we could. Rather than going full Courtney Love by whipping out a negligee and fishnets (which would be a bit awkward in an RV shared with your parents, to be fair), Debs went for a "this jungle would literally be Nirvana if my family weren't so annoying" vibe and it's solid.

Gerald Johanssen

Show: Hey Arnold!

Years: 1996-2004

Look: Scottie 2 hottie

Editor's note: Boasting a sweet hi-top fade and a red and white "33" crewneck (or hoodie) that may or may not reference Scottie Pippen's Chicago Bulls jersey, Gerald was undoubtedly the most sportswear savvy member of the Hey Arnold! gang. And considering donning basketball jerseys wasn't really a thing in the early ’90s (unless you were a player), one could (read: should) claim that Gerald helped pioneer a major off-court trend.

Oblina

Show: Aaahh!!! Real Monsters

Years: 1994-1997

Look: monochrome minx

Editor's note: If Cruella de Vil got stuck down a drainpipe for a month and consumed nothing but leaves and rainwater, she'd probably look a little like this monochrome, catwalk-worthy candy-cane creature. With lips that could make a jealous Kylie Jenner suck on ice cubes for the foreseeable, Oblina is the most fashion-forward monster mid-’90s TV has given us and we thank her for it.

Kearney Zzyzwicz

Show: The Simpsons

Years: 1989-present

Look: Berghain bro

Editor's note: Let's be honest, Kearney was always steezy, he just never got the recognition he deserved because he's a complete jerk. Think about it, though: he's low-key rocking a normcore-meets-punk style that would only need a slight attitude adjustment to be fully appreciated. Give him a few years to get his shit together and harness his creative potential, and you'll probably see him linking up with likes of Berghain's Sven Marquardt on his next photo project.

Launchpad McQuack

Show: Darkwing Duck

Years: 1991-1992

Look: intrepid anatine explorer

Editor's note: Something tells us Launchpad McQuack and Kim Jones would be great pals if they ever met IRL, as both clearly have a soft spot for looks befitting only the most stylish globetrotters. Frankly, we'd root for a collaborative capsule between the two, which could comprise tan cargo pants, cashmere sweaters, and leather-bound aviators.

Otto, Twister, Squid, and Reggie

Show: Rocket Power

Years: 1999-2004

Look: decked-out

Editor's note: Okay, it's probably cheating slightly to whack all of these guys into the same entry, but to mention them separately would be doing their squad goals a serious disservice. Despite going off-air almost 15 years ago, this decked-out clan's attire nails the look every skater with a passing interest in fashion wants to flex right now. Sports sunglasses? Check. Camo print? Check. Sweet kicks? Check, check, check, and check.

Ashley Spinelli

Show: Recess

Years: 1997-2001

Look: dirtbag diva

Editor's note: Disney isn't exactly renowned for pumping out bad girls of the non-villain variety, which is perhaps why we've always loved Spinelli so much. This pint-sized diva might wear her hair in bunches, but that's the only sweet thing about her overall look — a red dress topped with a well-worn leather jacket, orange beanie, and riding boots. Her look is easy to imitate, too. In fact, if you're looking to amp up your Spinelli aesthetic ASAP, Supreme dropped a very similar hat in its Fall/Winter 2018 collection.

Roger Klotz

Show: Doug

Years: 1991-1994

Look: Ziggy Stardust at a punk gig

Editor's note: Everyone loves a leather-clad bad boy (or bad girl, see above), especially when they rock a haircut as bold as our frenemy Roger Klotz did back in the early ’90s. Coming off like the result of a three-way between David Bowie, Macklemore, and Shrek, Roger and his wild and wavy orange locks deliver a traffic stopping look. And we mean this quite literally: his colorway is basically a traffic light sequence.

Chuckie Finster

Show: Rugrats

Years: 1991-2004

Look: OG scumbro

Editor's note: If any animated baby was likely to transform from a drip into the drip, it's Chuckie. Once he'd had a few years to nip that "I'm afraid of everything" crap in the bud, we reckon he would have honed his already bright AF aesthetic — camo pants, blue graphic print ringer tee, bright red kicks, and purple-rimmed glasses — into something a little more Pete Davidson.

Team Rocket

Show: Pokémon

Years: 1997-present

Look: co-pilot co-ord

Editor's note: Championing utility wear since ’97, Team Rocket's boiler suit co-ord — complete with on-point red "R" branding — was truly ahead of its time. While the full look might be a tad extra for your standard workman-slash-nanamica flexer, who actually cares? It's strong, super current considering it was created more than 20 years ago (or maybe because it was created more than 20 years ago), and — the most important part, let's be honest — looks super comfortable.

Judy Funnie

Show: Doug

Years: 1991-1994

Look: beatnik kween

Editor's note: There's a certain point in every woman's life when you just have to say, "Fuck it," and throw on a beret. Because nothing quite nails that intersection of angst, quasi-mystery, and "I'm artistic now" quite like this flat French head treat. Sprinkle the look with salt, shave a section of your hair, add a pair of those purple vegan leather Dr. Martens platforms everyone was wearing at Last Heirs' SS19 presentation, and you'll be more than a match for Roger Klotz in the style department.

Milo Kamalani

Show: Pepper Ann

Years: 1997-2000

Look: Prada 1.0

Editor's note: If Prada had dropped the half-and-half shirt back in 1997 — and especially if The Lost World: Jurassic Park-era Jeff Goldblum had donned said shirt — Milo Kamalani's two-tone bowling top would probably have gained the sartorial traction it truly deserved. Instead, Prada and Goldblum waited around for two decades and now Milo is probably just some bitter dude in his mid-30s who won't stop talking about how he did it first.

Randy Marsh

Show: South Park

Years: 1997-present

Look: work, work, work, work, work

Editor's note: Randy Marsh is not only South Park's best character, he's also the best dressed. As much as you want to fight it, this madcap, liberal, musical cock magician is the steeziest inhabitant of his sleepy Colorado town. His utility wear game is sharp, and while he probably copped his garms at a local workwear store (as any savvy soul on a budget should), they could just as easily have been plucked from the FW18 collections of Carhartt WIP or Junya Watanabe.

Roger "Booda" Sack

Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this YouTube video.

Show: King of the Hill

Years: 1997-2010

Look: low-key luxe

Editor's note: Before Kanye was Kanye, King of the Hill's Booda was rocking the monochrome normcore vibe we've seen time and again in ’Ye's day-to-day looks. When stand-up Booda — voiced by Chris Rock in the episode above — gives his "freedom of speech" spiel (around the 1:40 mark), his ’fit consists of a black sweater worn over an oversized white tee, with tailored gray slacks and a gold chain. In fact, it isn't dissimilar to the look West donned in the "I Love It" video, only a little less square.

Yakko Warner

Show: Animaniacs

Years: 1993-1998

Look: Parisian prince

Editor's note: If classic tailoring and pleated pants are more your jam than laid-back skater style, no doubt Yakko's look speaks to you. While his fur already forms a svelte turtleneck top, his pants are where it's at. They look like they could have been plucked straight from Y/Project's SS19 collection: super comfortable and effortlessly chic.
