Millennials, Everything You Wore In Middle School Is Back To Haunt You

Should we warn the teens, or let them suffer through velour pants like we did?

Grab yourselves a seat, Ye Millennial Ladies of Old.

First, Steve Madden announced it was bringing back the Slinky, aka your absolute go-to junior high shoe.

But did you know...all the Cool Looks you used to wear in the late '90s/early '00s are BACK IN STYLE?? And teens are wearing them?

Exhibit A: Currently on sale at Forever 21, this crushed velour top.

Yup, the same one you bought from Delia's in 1997 with your mom's credit card.

Teens are giving Forever 21 $27 for the privilege of wearing Von Dutch trucker hats. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

HOLY SHIT, YIN YANG CHOKERS ARE BACK.

Remember the rainbow boob stripe?

THE RAINBOW BOOB STRIPE IS BACK AT BRANDY MELVILLE.*

Colored-lens sunglasses? BACK.

You wore this daisy-print dress going to see The Wedding Planner in theaters. Yes, yes you did.

SLIP DRESSES ARE BACK.

POLO SHIRTS ARE BACK.

🚨 TATTOO CHOKERS ARE FREAKIN' BACK, PEOPLE. 🚨

BUCKET HATS ARE BACK.

Yes, THOSE bucket hats.

This is an ironic Saved by the Bell T-shirt for $39.

Mini-backpacks that barely fit a quarter to call your mom from the pay phone to come pick you up? Back.

Long denim skirts with that V split in the middle? Sooo back.

Oh dear god, this is back.

*whispers through tears* Adidas track pants.

And speaking of Sporty Spice, Urban Outfitters is selling a "girl power" shirt for $52.

The spaghetti strap over a white tee is so hot right now. So, so hot.

Look at this entire outfit!!

This pants-and-shoe combo is what you were wearing when you asked Ryan P. to homecoming!

And finally, the apex of the late-'90s renaissance: Spaghetti straps, crushed velour, AND those long skinny and pointless scarves are back.

See you at the senior center!!!!
