19 Fashion Trends That Were All The Rage 20 Years Ago But Have Been Completely Forgotten
Did we really go out in low-rise bedazzled jeans and call it ~fashurn~?!
1. Ponchos.

Especially colourful ones, with zero actual warming properties but loads of sequins to make up for it!
2. Low-rise jeans.

If you didn’t pose for a picture by putting your thumb in the belt loop, you weren’t doing it right.
3. Cropped tracksuit tops.
I don't know a single '00s girl who wasn't *obsessed* with this lewk.
4. All-diamante everything.

From bedazzled jeans to sticking faux diamonds to our teeth – we were obsessed?!
5. Pedal pushers.

Also known as capri pants – I think I can speak for everybody when I say I'm glad this trouser-length trend hasn't made a comeback.
6. Overly-embellished jeans.

Please note: the red fringing, matching strappy sandals, and wide-sleeved top – major '00s style points!
7. Belts. Belts with everything.

Especially when they weren't even needed.
9. Crimped hair.

Keeping certain sections of your hair dead-straight was key!
10. Fur-lined coats.

The absolute height of luxe styling, in my eight-year-old opinion.
11. Super long and sparkly scarves.

Let’s be honest – they did everything BUT keep you warm.
12. Denim maxi skirts.

Specifically: ones that you could tell had lived a previous life as a pair of jeans.
13. Dresses made with this shiny, stretchy, and clingy material.

Unofficially, THE most unflattering fabric known to humankind – unless you're Kelly Rowland of course.
14. Colourful tights.

The more opaque they were, the better!
15. Colour-coordinated outfits with your pals.

Friends who slay together stay together (though this sadly wasn't the case for Steps).
16. Tiny waistcoats.

The only thing to wear over a printed tee!
17. Trilby hats.

Nobody could rock a trilby like Alicia – but that didn’t stop us all from trying!
18. Peplum tops.

They gave us back the curves that the low-rise jeans took away!
19. And finally, this *exact* crochet hat.

Did it keep our heads warm? Of course not. Did we insist on wearing it through the entire winter? Absolutely.
