Miss the nostalgia of the early 2000’s fashion world? Fear not! It’s been making a comeback since 2020.
Early 2000’s fashion is thought to be very iconic and also unique: a mix of vintage styles boho, grunge and indie. The aesthetic also includes popular items from the 70’s.
For women, some of the popular trends from the early 2000’s included ultra low rise jeans and tank tops, velour tracksuits, uggs or a chunky shoe, leg warmers, skirts/dresses over pants, and ballet flats. For men, it was baggy/oversized leather jackets, dress shirts with a tie and also chunky shoes. The fashion was very fun and I’m glad it’s coming back.
I also really like the return of mini shoulder purses, oversized leather jackets, baggy and boot cut jeans with high heels, and skirts with pants underneath – they add extra flair to an outfit and make it fun and unique.
People often added jewelry like long necklaces, chunky bracelets, studded belts and waist chains. I have a lot of fun with over-accessorizing. These objects make an outfit seem less boring, so I love to see this trend return. The more accessories, the better!
Even though people made some amazing outfit choices back in the 2000’s, not all of them were great, like mixing patterns like zebra and leopard print together, or floral designs with stripes/polka dots. Seeing too many patterns being together makes an outfit too busy looking.The overall effect can be like a 6 year old picking out their own outfit.
Another trend that I don’t like is extreme pointy tip shoes, but I think some that have a little bit of a pointy tip are fine with a pair of trousers for a classy look. However, the ones with big points are just simply not it; they’re ugly and hard to style to a point that makes them look decent.
I’m also seeing people having fun with mixing the styles of different decades, mostly from the 70’s and their unique prints and styles being paired with 2000s clothing pieces, the most popular being denim, vests, and bell bottoms.
The 70’s clothing also often had fun prints and bright colors which was also seen in many clothes from the 2000’s. I love to see that there’s different things coming back from different decades. It would be boring and no fun seeing everyone dress the same way so it’s a relief seeing people get creative with their outfits everyday.
