It’s a well-known fact in the fashion world that everything in fashion is cyclical.

And, while we’ve seen our fair share of current trends inspired by clothes from the 20th century, we haven’t seen as many inspired by early 21st-century fashions just yet.

But, in the (not so) deep, dark corners of the internet, 2000s-inspired trends are starting to make a comeback. And, I have to say that I’m not mad about it!

So, because I’ve been feeling a bit nostalgic lately, I decided to compile five of my favorite 2000s fashion trends into a list.

So, just sit back, pop The Dutchess (Note: Some videos/lyrics are NSFW) into your CD Walkman, and prepare to take a trip down memory lane!

1. Long, Tiered Peasant Skirts

Skirt – Free People

If you were into the whole boho aesthetic of the 2000s (or just liked long, flowy skirts!), chances are that you loved the long, tiered peasant skirt trend.

Maybe you wore your skirt with a t-shirt and a thick belt slung over your hips for casual days. Or, perhaps you dressed it up with layered tank tops and a cropped cardigan for a more formal event. Either way, these fun skirts were definitely a 2000s must-have!

Recently, however, I’ve noticed this trend slowly coming back, although this comeback seems to be happening mainly amongst high-end retailers. But, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it come into the mainstream during upcoming seasons!

2. Ribbed Tank Tops

Tank Top – Abercrombie & Fitch

If you were anything like me in the 2000s, ribbed tank tops were your life. Seriously, though, they were so convenient! Whether you chose to wear them by themselves, under another top for added coverage/warmth, or, of course, layered with each other, there was (almost) nothing that you couldn’t wear these tops with!
