Ahhh, the 2000s… Shrek was everywhere, we were all downloading computer viruses on LimeWire, and a Motorola Razr was on everyone’s wishlist. But, I have to ask, what was going on in the fashion world?
Between low-rise jeans and popcorn tops, the fashion wasn’t exactly fashioning. And while every generation has their questionable trends (looking at you, bell bottoms), what I can’t wrap my head around is the fact that 2000s fashion is coming back in style.
That’s right, take a look around your local Target or H&M and you’ll feel instantly transported back to 2004. (Minus meticulously organizing your MySpace Top 8.) So, without further ado, here are 19 totally 2000s trends that I can’t decide if I ever want to see again:
Jeans? Love Them! Dresses? Great! Together? Not so much.
It’s giving The Sopranos.
You know, to keep it extra professional.

And really skinny scarves
Life’s all about balance!
Move over 1960s, the “beehive” had its moment again (unfortunately)…
Gravity was working overtime in the 2000s…
Pairs perfectly with low-rise jeans!
So many pockets, so little time…
The TikTok whippersnappers would call this “Trucker-core.”
I’m convinced 98.7% of Earth’s population had these between 2002–2007.

Mustn’t forget the spiky frosted tips
12.
Incredibly thin eyebrows
We were all plucked into oblivion…

Concealer instead of lipstick
Lipstick? Never heard of her.
I think I had a Ken Doll with this exact outfit.
More corsets than a season of Bridgerton…
Bonus points if it was from Hot Topic or Spencer’s!
It’s all fun and games until you have to unclasp them…
A must-have accessory for a side hustle as a 1940s detective.
19.
And finally, lace-up everything
Seriously, was there a shortage of other fasteners?
