That's sooo 2000s

:lol: about Von Dutch trucker hats. I thankfully forgot about those (and proudly never owned or wanted to own one) but that is one that deserved to be buried/burned.

A lot of the things mentioned so far are things I don't think are "over" yet or I think they are classic or deserve to stay around longer in various cases. In my opinion anyway.

Examples for me (in orange is exceptions or what I think is a trend to go:(

•leggings (with a covered bottom) are ok and warmer than tights in winter cooler than pants in summer
•ballet flats are classic and don't seem trendy to me, just a form of flat shoe
•I think converse shoes have been consistently worn since their creation. Maybe they were a trend, but I kind of see them as a forever thing. At least the classic-looking ones, not the ones with crazy prints and patterns.
•various styles of rayban are classics that have been around for decades and should stay around for decades longer, the neon and silly ones can go though
• black nail polish, although not the hottest shade right now, still seems ok to me, like I think we are in an age where any shade on nails is acceptable
•hollister and A&F styles, while not anything I personally like or buy, have been and will continue to be popular among adolescents in the future (at least I think they will be)
•skinny jeans seem like something that should stay if they look good on you, in general I think people should just wear whatever silhouette looks best on them, so if it's skinnies then keep em. If it's boot or trouser leg go for it. I don't think those should be trends so much as personal styles
• but low rise w/ thongs and destroyed denim are a come-and-go thing. I am glad ultra low rise is gone but it seems destroyed is obviously back, at least everything isn't destroyed though this time
• I don't think american apparel is a trend, it is just a store. if you mean the '80s aerobics instructor look they endorse then I agree but I will still buy their t shirts and sweatshirts. Those are just basics so I don't see them as a trend.
• juicy couture track suits/ sweatpants and velour track suits in general are definite trends to go
•knock-off CL brogues were definitely saturating stores like 2 years ago
•wide belts at the low hip over tunic length tops
•immediately afterwards wide belts cinching every waist on every outfit
• huge bug-like frames for sunglasses
•rectangular narrow eyeglasses
•crocs!!!! may they RIP :lol:

here would be my list....

earlier in the decade:

-- "low rise jeans" - remember all those crazy articles about how scandalous it was that it was obvious Paris was getting bikini waxes etc?
-- DEFINITELY the olsen/sienna boho trend... those long flowy skirts, gladiator sandals, baggy tshirts, layered beaded necklaces, long sweaters
-- balenciaga purses
-- leggings
-- "METROSEXUAL" / queer eye for the straight guy fashion for dudes: ill-advised plum and pink shirts with suits... in general a sort of yuppie chic for young men
-- those awful scrunchy velour babydoll dresses, and juicy couture sweatsuits
-- sex and the city style: lil' sundresses and manolos and louboutins

mid decade:
-- neon nu-rave tshirts, big colourful sneakers
-- more toned down boho and like 70s laidback chic: earth tones, flat boots over jeans, long wavy hair, bangs, scarves, braided belts, general "hipster vintage" look
-- leather jackets
-- 'hip hop' style becoming more refined -- movement toward 'streetwear' and all those sort of urban menswear sites, etc. 'streetwear' lines getting more fashion recognition -- hellz bellz, etc
-- 'formal shorts'
-- for teenagers, that pop punk/mall goth style, and abercrombie and fitch
-- selvage/dry denim
-- "trashy suburban americana" : diesel sneakers, uggs, von dutch, ed hardy

late decade:
-- erin wasson chic, shorts over tights, ripped jeans -- the boho/70s trend made a little bit tougher
-- those white YSL tank tops + chanel tshirts, often badly and deliberately imitated
-- anything anyone wears on gossip girl, for cryign out loud that's going to be as much of a cultural fashion touchpoint as 'clueless' one day... also "mean girls" :P
-- goth/tough/structural/architectural/minimalist -- but i think that will all move more into the next decade....

Wow, I'm already feeling nostalgic - and it's only 2010!

The (mostly unfortunate) stand-outs of the past decade, to me:

-UGGS
-velour track suits (J Lo)
-Long necklaces
-deep v shirts (AA)
-oversized bags

etc., etc.
 




My wife and I went to Tyson'd Corner Mall in McLEan Virginny and it was cold last Sunday, but I would say over 53% of women had on Uggs or a copy. You may think they are "out of style" with all due respect, but they are a classic because women will wear them because they are warm and comfortable for walking in a mall. This mall is probably one of top 5 malls in USA.

ugh the whole ugg thing was/still is revolting. especially with juicy sweatpants and mini jean skirts.

Yes I think them with sweat pants is sloppy. and jean skirts is "pas-say" (sp?) but Uggs in general are not going away. Nordstrom had 2 "exclusively Nordstrom" styles- classic short in metalic with mini Ugg logo and the short mini Baliey Button short in leopard. Both sold out and some ladies bought extras and sold them on Ebay for $250 instead of $149. Uggs are not going away. Plus they have the Bailey Button in pinlk and purple and at least the pinks are back ordered.


Uggs will one day be a classic like ballet flats. The doctors and lawyers wives have too much money and power. ((( Thant is a PRS guitar joke)))

I did not like over sise bags. My wife wanted one and I reminded her that she only needs is lipstick. $50. a driver's license for ID and an ATM card... Then the rest of oversized purse is tissue paper. :lol:
 
In the mid '00 there was a 'bling'-period influenced by hiphop-style. Everything had to be coverd in crystals and diamonds, (all fake ofcourse).
 
for France the decade was Rock, Boheme Chic, and FluoKids and ... LOGO !

oh and message tshirts, Colette (the shop), and ... flats and Longchamp bags ...
and ... the rise and death of Paris' Nights ....

- Skinny jeans.
- Balmainia (dressing 'edgy')
- TV show influences (Carrie Bradshaw, Blair Waldorf)
- The Burberry trademark infamously being turned into a chav trademark :lol:
- The whole decade in general is famous for reviving EVERY DECADE!
- Hipster style is popular than ever, as is Indie thanks to Alexa Chung, Chloe Sevigny etc...

I think LolaSvelt has summarised it pretty well. I would have to sadly mention crocs and uggs...even though I wouldnt say they were fashionable they tried to be a trend. ugh.
 
the 2000's or the millenium (how do you call that decade) brought nothing new to the table when it comes to fashion.

Every single thing done was a rehash from everything else. Vintage, the 80's, 90's, leggings, the old hollywood glam, hippie, boho, etc, there was nothing new.

I don't think this was a spectacular decade when it comes to fashion, it has no identity. 20 years from now there is not going to be a 2000 look because there wasn't a 2000 look during the decade.

The last decade to have had an original defining look was the 90's.

The 2000's will be remembered because of the technology, ipods, blackberrys, facebook, etc but not because of fashion, there was really nothing exciting.

^ Considering just how global the world has become, I honestly don't think there will ever be another decade with a defined "look". People are exposed to looks from all over the world- middle American girls wearing Harajuku looks thanks to Gwen Stefani and access to blogs, fashion communities such as this one turning girls in the Middle East onto minimalist looks from Europe. We've gotten far too connected for things to go back to one certain, defined look if you ask me. That said, I think the more muted colors we've been seeing will last as long as the recession does- as well as the Gaga inspired over the top looks that take our minds off of the hard times.


I cannot wait until the late 2000's ankle boots and minidress trend is over. It's so overrated. :yuk: And thankfully the Uggs/Von Dutch, Ed Hardy look died out almost as fast as it blew up.

but Gaga is not really a fashion icon. Everything she wears come from other designers like alexander mcqueen, she is not influencing designers, it's the other way around. And also, her look is not something women can adapt or use in everyday life.
 
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one :wink: Before Gaga, the vast majority of people I knew had no clue who Alexander McQueen was; before Gaga, the vast majority of current, non-1980's popstars were afraid to be as outlandish and provocative as they are now. And I've already seen bodysuits and six inch platforms at Alloy and Forever 21- the bodysuits are worn under jeans, and the super high heels are worn with more demure outfits. There is certainly a fair amount of Gaga backlash around these days, but she is by far the most "avant garde" mass market celebrity, and she is inspiring people to be a little more daring with their wardrobes.

That means no one is a fashion icon then :huh: She doesn't need an adaptable look to be a fashion icon. She's an inspiration for many people. Her tendency for the theatrical and outlandish has earned her that title. Same with people like Roisin Murphy.
 
I giggled @ title.

Uggs and JC tracksuits. Oh my, how I hate them both. Also, wearing sweatpants and thinking you look decent. Just no. Lets keep these things in the 00, and not in the 10s, please.
