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 all that has since changed, with news that a reunion tour is on the horizon. Even better, they've now confirmed two (!!!) Australian shows.
It all started in August, when fans woke to an extremely cryptic tweet that suggested a reunion was imminent.

The post, which was also shared by Noel Gallagher and the band’s X account, featured the following day's date atop the band's signature logo. Sure enough, the very next day, we were blessed with the news that really are getting back together, and putting aside their differences for a global tour.
Now, NME has shared exactly which cities the brother's will be touring — and in excellent news for Aussie fans, it includes shows in Sydney and Melbourne.
With the excitement well and truly occupying 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.

Unafraid to take a risk, Liam dons a white zip-up with fur-trimmed sleeves and collar over a band tee (and accessorised with a classic pair of frame-less aviator sunglasses).
