Low-rise jeans, henley tops, baby tees. These were all clothing trends in the 2000s that are now coming back in style.
Mostly it’s Gen Z that is bringing it back so it’s like they’re following their parents footsteps.
Teens all over are starting to wear all of these clothes. This has been happening for a couple of years but according to Dallastown Fashion club Secretary Molly Edwards, it’s really big this year.
“I’ve seen a spike with the 2000s style in the past few years. The low-rise jeans seem to be quite popular (I’m a fan of them, too!), and Henley tops have made a comeback as well,” Edwards said.
This style takes many teachers like business teacher Mrs. Guttridge back to their high school and college days.
Guttridge, who is also the adviser of the Fashion Club, graduated from DHS in 1999. She has specifically noticed “straight legged jeans and pants, monochromatic tracksuits, boots with heels” in the halls and stores.
She also said that she was okay with the style coming back but she doesn’t think it will come back in exactly the same way it looked when she was in high school.
“Vogue” writer Christian Allaire says he misses the experience of shopping at stores like Hollister back in the 2000s.
“Shopping there used to be an experience—one that I would pay anything to bring back now,” Allaire said.
Edwards cites Rory Gilmore, from the show “Gilmore Girls” as a good example of a 2000s fashion icon.
The 2001 Dallastown yearbook spotlighted the styles and clothing brands that were trending back then.
“Gap, American Eagle, Express, J. Crew, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Abercrombie and Fitch – these were just a few of the popular brands worn by the students throughout the year.”
These are the same brands worn in the 2000s and are now trying to be found in thrift stores now. Of course these brands are still selling clothes now but they are not the same as they were in the 2000s.
Not only does it talk about the brands but it also talks about the other styles too. Like alternative styles that people still wear around the school.
“Donning unnatural hairstyles and creative clothing, these students stood out as cool alternatives to the average look.”
According to the Spectator there were also students dressing in alternative styles in the 2000s as well. There are people still dressing like that to this day. Most of them also miss how stores like Hot Topic and Spencers used to look back in the 2000s, because it is so much different from today.
