2000S CLOTHING TRENDS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
The 2000s were a time of anything and everything. People used fashion to express themselves or just to experiment with the multitude of trends that were floating around. While the 00s seemed chaotic, the fashion styles of the era also went along with it. From dresses over jeans or velour tracksuits, the decade had looks that at the time were iconic – and others that weren’t. The ever-changing trends all depended on the ‘it’ thing circulating, whether a film, a celebrity, or a genre, the 2000s ranged over a large variety of fads – some of which are currently repopulating our closets and fashion lookbooks.
Early 2000S
The middle years of the 2000s gained inspiration from the 1960s and progressed into a more bohemian style. The ‘boho-chic’ trend stemmed from the popularity of low-rise jeans, yoga pants, cowl-neck tops, and peasant blouses. Following the boho was the military-inspired, which lasted until the end of the decade. The unisex trend surged from the popularity of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies as well as the increased interest in 1980s fashion trends.

Late 2000S
Many of the fashion trends from the early and mids 2000s remained for the late 2000s, but the later years did see another revival of late 1980s and early 1990s streetwear. Neon colors, animal prints, polka dots, and geometric patterns took over the women’s clothing of the time. Men’s fashion visited the 1950s and 1980s with letterman or leather jackets, flannels, slim-cut jeans paired with Converse, vans, or motorcycle boots.
THE MAIN 2000S TRENDS
Von Dutch, Ed Hardy, and Juicy Couture were the ones dominating the looks of the decade.
