[fashion] The Countdown: 2000s

Shame on me, I already know. So instead of apologizing profusely for ashifpqnopsdj, I'll just get on with it. Today begins a new segment where I decode fashions by the decade. And since my brain works that way, I'll work backwards from the 2000s.

Fashion LIKES- I like how fashion in the 2000s was so multifaceted. While there were DEFINITE trends, I feel like the people in that era put their own individual spin on it. Such things include, Japanese inspired looks (think Harajuku Girls); jeans, jeans, and more jeans, and vintage tees. I also enjoy the boho-chic look (leave the hippie attitude, however, in the 60s where it belongs), and the "grown man" hip hop look (thank you, Kanye West!). Last, but not least, leggings and Uggs.



Fashion DISLIKES- Trucker hats. People still wear them too. Can I just say, EWWWW? Honestly, that's like wearing a mailman's uniform! Please, you aren't fooling anyone. Another dislike, polo shirts. Not just a polo when you're golfing or at tennis, but a polo shirt just around town. (I must admit, I was a victim of this far too often) Also, the grimy hip-hop look is quite unattractive. Last but not least, leggings and Uggs.
NOTE: You might have (BETTER HAVE) noticed that leggings and Uggs are posted both in my fashion likes and dislikes. That is because both are bittersweet items for me. Yes, Uggs are ridiculously comfy and leggings are too, but NO, Uggs are not, never have been, and never will be fashionable. And leggings are not pants (shocking, but true).

Favorite outfits of the decade:




In conclusion, 2000s fashion was interesting, and most of all, it was a perfect rise to what I hope to be the fashion climax of 2010s :)

In the words of Prince,
Peace and b wild!

Until next time...
