The Best Early 2000s Fashion Trends We're Incorporating Into Our Wardrobes in 2021
Taking you back to velour tracksuits, low-rise jeans, chokers and more.
The early 2000s were all about velour tracksuits, low-rise jeans and choker necklaces. Celebrities like Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Destiny’s Child and more wore a variety of memorable ‘fits, influencing many of their fans’ personal styles during that era.
The fashion cycle is constantly shifting and trends tend to make a comeback every 20 years. Just like styles from the ’80s and ’90s, we’ve seen looks resurface in the late 2010s due to designers incorporating vintage elements into their collections. With a brand new year ahead, we’ve gathered all the best fashion trends from the ’00s that are guaranteed to stay in 2021.
Following Juicy Couture‘s Fall/Winter 2020 collection, velour tracksuits have resurfaced. With the rise of loungewear early last year due to the pandemic, many have been opting for cozy-chic attire they can wear while working from home. For those attending virtual Zoom parties, dress up with a flattering halter top like Gucci‘s and pair them with low-rise jeans like Bottega Veneta‘s. If you’re off to run some quick errands, keep all your essentials in a baguette shoulder bag – a Carrie Bradshaw-approved accessory that goes well with just about any outfit.
