These Top Noughties Trends Are Back, And They’re Giving Us Serious Summer Nostalgia
We’re about to take you on a journey back to the Y2K years of halter necks, chainmail dresses, double denim and tinted shades. Buckle up, because we think these 2000s #throwback looks are going to take over your wardrobe this summer
Sit back, relax, and let us take you on an all-inclusive trip to The Simple Life. Yep, we’re heading back in time to the early 2000’s. The good old days of Nokia brick phones, Juicy Couture tracksuits, iconic Britney and Justin double denim and some Busted playing off of our new chunky iPods. Ah, good times. Hannah Montana taught us that Nobody’s Perfect, we all got slightly too obsessed by the idea of being a wizard – thanks Harry – but most of all, our fashion sense hit a new high. Slinky cowl neck tops were topped off with electric blue eyeshadow, low rise trousers were paired with halter-neck scarf print crops, and denim - whether ripped, bleached or wide legged - was taken to a whole other level.
With the Jonas Brothers reuniting and Miley Cyrus bringing back the blonde hair and fringe for real right now, it’s really starting to feel like we’ve actually travelled back in time. And if that wasn’t enough proof, Paris Hilton has brought back the chainmail dress, Kim Kardashian has revived the tinted shades, and Taylor Swift’s early 2000s cowboy boots have marched straight into the now. We’re living for this resurrection of some of our favourite past trends, but if you’ve had a rummage through your old Y2K pieces and are not feeling satisfied, then we’ve got some pieces that will help you channel all your favourite post-millennium stars - just in time for summer.
Cowboy Boots
Yee-haw! is exactly what we’re saying to the revival of this country trend. Pair them up with a cute midi to live your early 2000s Taylor Swift dream.
Halter Neck Tops
Favourited by our noughties Disney stars, a halter neck top paired with some low rise boot cut jeans is giving us some serious Teen Choice Awards nostalgia.
Slinky Metallic Dresses
Loved by our TV favourites Nicole and Paris, some slinky silver and gold slips and chainmail dresses are already set to be huge party hits this summer.
Double Denim
Let’s go back to Britney and Justin at the American Music Awards, and then dial it down a couple of notches. That’s better.
Tinted Shades
Say yes to the tinted shades this summer, giving you a bit of protection but a whole lot of high fashion. Thank you, Kim.
