The Noughties
There was the hourglass in the 50's, the hippies in the 70's and the disco in the 80's. As for the noughties, emos dominated, closely followed by bimbos. The 80's also made a brief comeback towards the end, and everyone started to dress all androgynously. Here's a summary of the past decade in terms of clothing:
- leggings replace pants- probably the grossest and longest running trend of the decade
- ballet flats become massively popular- that is, before the gladiator sandal
- skinny jeans- first worn by guys when all the women were wearing baggy cargo pants. But then the women reformed too, and now everyone wears skinny jeans
- thick rimmed glasses
- Converse Chucks and Nike Air force 1
- Supre becomes insanely popular amongst teeny boppers throughout the decade, first known for their frilly tiered mini skirts, and now for their tasteless tanktops and short shorts
- Maxi dresses and kaftans
- Slogan tshirts- also grossly disgusting, often paired with leggings, which makes everything three times grosser. Often involved fluoro colours and lame or ironic statements
- Wearing baggy jeans halfway down the butt- its unsexy, but probably wont make an exit for a while
- Ugg boots- gross, except when worn in the house of course.
- Dressing like a hobo- the Olsen twins revolutionise 'boho chic', people all over the world appreciate hobo style
- Crocs- half the world has come to its senses and have condemned them
- Plaid- first in skirts and later in shirts
- Black nails
- Gladiators- the whole world went into a massive frenzy and shoes that had studs, leather or straps were referred to as 'gladiators' in attempt to market them to young trend-whores
- Studs
- The power-shoulder- blame it on Balmain
- Fluoro- probably reduced the number of pedestrian accidents at night
- Boyfriend's shirt, pants, blazer, etc etc
Predictions for next decade:
- 50's revival- hourglass silhouette comes back
- sequins- Balmain continues to take over the world
- pants allow blood circulation in leg again
- thigh high boots
- the pump- heels get taller, toes get rounder
- the peep-toe finally goes away- we're all sick of it by now
- jumpsuits
- leather everything
- Lacroix will get back on his feet and rule the fashion world!
- wedges
- the trench coat, but in all colours
- minimalism takes over, the world becomes black and white again
- clothes become more architectural and structured- one step closer to silver space suits
- tights finally go out, patterned stockings will replace
- over the knee socks
- long dresses will be slit to the hip
- triangle bikini goes out, one piece suits and underwire cupped bikinis come back
- the continuation of sheer
- capes
- dead straight hair goes out, wavy hair becomes standard
