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"
-- goth/tough/structural/architectural/minimalist -- but i think that will all move more into the next decade....
