Over the past few years, we’ve spotted a flurry of ’00s fashion trends making a return. Sure, some are a little scary (hello, trucker hats, velour tracksuits and low-slung denim), but other comebacks feel so right. It will take a lot to persuade us to dig out our tattoo chokers, but we’ve noticed stylish people dusting off their handkerchief tops and diving into the revival headfirst.
Perhaps thanks in part to Gen Z discovering some of the trends we wore the first time round, this era is big right now. According to Lyst, the global shopping platform, “nostalgia for the 2000s has got fashion lovers searching. Looking at the past month searches for “Y2K” and 2000s inspired fashion pieces have increased by 80% year-on-year”.
The good news is that you don’t have to look hard to find the 2021 updates of the originals. Some of the biggest designers right now are creating collections full of ’00s-inspired looks and signature designs from the decade. You might even forget many of these pieces were huge in the noughties—cowboy boots, for example. Keep scrolling to see these ’00s trends then and how we’ll be shopping them now and well into 2021.
