The 2000s Fashion Trends Everyone Will Wear This Year
If you grew up in the 2000s, you’ll probably be surprised to hear that the decade’s fashion trends are once again popular. I was born in 1994, and if you ask me, the decade still feels like it happened just yesterday. I grew up watching Britney Spears music videos and vying to get my hands on basically everything Paris Hilton wore. For me, 2000s fashion trends are even more nostalgic than those of the ’80s or ’90s.
Yes, I’m talking about the teeny-tiny handbags and even tinier strappy sandals that defined the decade’s aesthetic. I won’t lie, though. I’m thankful that not everything we wore in the 2000s is making it into the 2010s because, well, styles like ultra-low-rise jeans are best left in the past (in my opinion). But if you’re as ready as we are to embrace the best of noughties fashion once again, see all the 2000s fashion trends that we’re predicting everyone will be wearing this year.
