I was in college in the early 00s. I remember puffer vests, pea coats, floral blouses, velvet scrunchies, bootcuts, baby doll style tops, zip off cargo pants. My own (non) style was prairie muffinish and involved denim jumpers and flannel shirt dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-fashion-by-the-decade#post-1330146 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 19:44:51 +0000 purple8 1330146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved the grunge era. Hope the 2003 (?) velour track suits never come back. I do, however, have fond memories of my puffy big etnies with big skater type jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-fashion-by-the-decade#post-1329881 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 13:05:23 +0000 trendin1234 1329881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the comparision is good and thoughtful and there is lot of difference in fashion and style between 80's and present !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-fashion-by-the-decade#post-1329791 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:45:48 +0000 Andrea H 1329791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Early 00s will always and forever be associated in my head with Juicy Couture (and knockoff)&nbsp;velour sweatsuits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-fashion-by-the-decade#post-1329782 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 05:53:01 +0000 T 1329782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was in school in the 90's but I'll give it a go still as I was very much into fashion then as well. It could be that some trends listed below were in vouge only in India, (and could very well be 80's filtering in too late!):<br />1. Branded clothes: Tees &amp; accessories that displayed brand names &amp; logos very prominently. India had opened its markets in the 90s and saw a lot of influx of global brands. I guess this could be the reason for everyone wanting to show-off their foreign goods.<br />2. Overalls Midi dresses. One would have to wear a top underneath.<br />3. Palazzo pants. We used to call them parallels locally. They used to be a two piece set consisting of a loose top. God, the volume on volume was just too much!<br />4. Maxi skirts in umbrella cuts. Basically voluminous skirts.&nbsp;<br />5. BF plaid shirts with leggings<br />6. Black ribbon neckbands&nbsp;that look a lot like embellished dog collars<br />7. Tight crop tops, coz the jeans were very high waisted &amp; of a BF kind of fit.&nbsp;<br />8. Sneakers. Chunky ones.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-fashion-by-the-decade#post-1329422 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 20:11:58 +0000 Anonymous 1329422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Emily</b> helped jog my memory with her excellent list.

I can't remember any fashion from the 90s or 00s. Even Emily's run-down means nothing to me. In the 90s, I was in college, and college style seems to be the same everywhere: t-shirts and jeans. In the 00s, I was working in a very small workplace with people who didn't really care much with keeping up with trends. So I guess I was in a fashion black hole for twenty years. But from what I hear, maybe it was a good time to be in a fashion black hole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-fashion-by-the-decade#post-1328897 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 04:17:58 +0000 Hil 1328897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point Emily... You have reminded me of a couple of outfits. I knew someone who wore such low slung jeans that her appendix scar showed and her bikini line needed to be adjusted (if you know what I mean) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-fashion-by-the-decade#post-1328422 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 19:44:12 +0000 rachylou 1328422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will have to read and learn from y'all. The aughts, and frankly the '90s too - I draw big blank on. I have some vague memories of unexciting palazzo pants and little prairie florals on black backgrounds. That's about it. The rise and fall of the woman's suit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-fashion-by-the-decade#post-1328363 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 18:18:01 +0000 Emily 1328363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was a teenager in the early 00s, and I recall* the following:</p> <p>-low-slung flares<br />-asymetrical scarf hem tops and skirts<br />-sweatpants with words on the bum<br />-short, snug tops that show a sliver of midrif<br />-cargo pants<br />-skirts over pants<br />-shrugs<br />-ponchos<br />-spaghetti strap tank tops<br />-Adidas tearaway pants<br />-Chunky Platform shoes, like those big black foam wedges<br />-Flip Flops with giant flowers on the thong part<br />-Skateboard Shoes - Adidas Superstars, Etnies</p> <p>(*but did not necessarily partake in)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-fashion-by-the-decade#post-1328346 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 18:00:51 +0000 Hil 1328346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 36 so I was a baby in the late 70's, a kid in the 80's and a teen and young adult in the 90's. Thinking back, I can clearly identify 80's fashion and 90's fashion (particularly the grunge era which I loved) </p> <p>I am also enjoying the 80's revival - there are things about the 80's that I was too young to enjoy back then that I can enjoy now, </p> <p>This got me thinking... how we would distinguish naughties fashion... And the decade we are in now (can't think what to call it!?) ? </p> <p>What are the things we will look back on in 20 years as early millennium fashion? </p>
