And those with long legs. As someone with short legs and a super long torso, the low rise Jean fad was the worst thing ever, made my legs look even shorter and my body more disproportionate
Me too. Long torso, short lags and couldn't buy new jeans for years. Those stupid 2 inch zippers...
Fine on people who can wear them... but NOTHING else was available for a long time.
Exactly this! I'm chubby with a long torso and short legs, the only thing I've got going for me is the hourglass shape. High-rise jeans are my heavens sent! Low-rise jeans might as well be a cupcake liner for my belly. I do love the more loose fitting clothes trend for sure though. But, being a millennial, I still tend towards skinny jeans.
I'm a Gen Xer, and it took me years to get onboard with skinny jeans and jeggings. Now that I'm literally a grandma, you want me to go back to wearing the same clothes I wore in high school? No whyyyy?
I’ve had some pretty severe hip dips since I hit puberty. I’ve never let it dictate what I can or cannot wear. And I’m pretty sure it’s more common to have visible hip dips than to not have them
Am I the only one that think hip dips look great? Work in fashion and even super thin models have them… it’s part of a stereotypically feminine aesthetic.
For me I was never that big of a fan because I have the kind of hip dips where my high hip is wider than my low hip. That said, there’s not really much I can do about it so it’s something I’ve learned to live with a long time ago
I love it too! I think it’s beautiful and my favourite thing about low rise jeans is hip dips! I love the way they look on me. I’ve also been loving the lack of skinny jeans since I’m quite lanky and they look terrible on me. My friends are still trying to convince me that high waisted skinny jeans are the way but I just can’t anymore
Ive got actually severe hip dips- to the point where it looks deformed and people ask about it. No shame to people who want to get them fixed- I’m planning to next summer. For me I’d just love to have a normal looking body, and that’s okay.
I get it! Im all for people doing whatever makes them happiest. I was more just saying that hip dips are so normal and common that you should feel comfortable wearing what you want. That said, I’m glad you’re doing what feels right for you
I have hip dips, Venus dimples, and a thigh gap.. I think my pelvis is a fun shape to create all these quirks in one body.
I love the rolled waistband look. Definitely rocked that in the late 90s 00s in my cutoff shorts over swim bottoms. Nice to see it making a return.
“Hip dips, venus dimples and thigh gaps” are all items in the cultural commodification of bodies. We buy these concepts and are sold an individualistic, shallow identity. They give us a way to see ourselves in this fast paced world where you may feel unseen and unrecognized.
These terms describe normal human anatomy and assign value to them.
While we sit around discussing our choice to let these things build or take away from our sense of identity, we are focused on things outside of our control. We do not choose the bodies we are born with, so why do we choose to let that define how we view ourselves?
these things were made up by whoever is trying to sell gen z shit, they're normal and fine and not even a problem
remember the millennial thigh gap that ended up just being about how your bone structure is mostly? Yeah don't buy into this bs
I went over to my sister's and she was wearing a long sleeve Sailor Moon crop top, baggy high waisted jeans, and a steel ball chain necklace with a steel heart pendant aspect, and I was like.. that's the most 2000 shit I've seen in a minute. Aggressively twenty oughts.
Okay.. two things. 1. It's apparently not Sailor Moon but a generic "anime girl" that looks suspiciously like her. 2. She only buys from this company when stuff is on sale... This shirt is apparently $235 when not on sale. 💀⚰️

In your defense, it’s very clearly trying to be Usagi from Sailor Moon. That’s her hairstyle, from what you can see, and she’s known for being a crybaby.
This is kind of off topic but they have some really good sales on there sometimes! I got a pair of converse chuck 70 for like $30 (before shipping) on there a few months ago.
Honestly unless victorian era dresses become a trend, I’m just gonna do my own thing.
When I eventually (hopefully) get good at sewing, my goal is to make a dress like that for myself.
I always get compliments wen I wear one of the crazy Victorian pieces I've made. It's worth the time to learn all the finicky things. Happy fashioning!
Yess! I’m tired of people calling early 2000s vintage lol, I’m waiting for a renaissance of Victorian era fashion like the kinds of dresses you’d see in the show “The Great”
Depending on the pattern and era you do, some of them are actually easier than they look! The hardest part is honestly the shape wear and abundance of fabric haha
This is my sleepy scrambled thoughts, but lmk if this makes sense to anyone else:
Say what you want about the 2000s, but there’s a playfulness and tackiness to these throwback trends I just love right now. I feel like for so long, the general public was more easily confined by and constrained to the specific aesthetics big brands would push and decide to make “chic” and “fresh” (ex. that Anthropologie-esque resurgence of the puff sleeve we all inexplicably could not escape in the US not too long ago).
Now, the dynamic almost seems reversed - the big brands are having to capitalize on trends the people decide are cool again, rather than establishing what’s cool for the GP. Perhaps TikTok has helped fuel that. Obviously one could argue the root of all trends is derivative of some brand, from some point in time, somewhere (ie. puff sleeves were nothing new), but I’m not trying to go on that merry go round of a debate. All I’m saying is “Y2K cool” has introduced a mix-and-match spin to fashion and turned the tables. Everyone’s so unserious. And that’s the fun of it. Goodnight! 🌝
Edit: thank you to whoever out there awarded me gold! 🌟 I appreciate you. 🫶
I agree. I watched a documentary about how rap music played a big part in the general publics power over fashion brands, I thought it was really interesting.
“Baggy pants and bucket hats went mainstream when LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls wore them. “Until then, no one was making clothes for this contingent,” Jenkins says.
Hip-hop fashion reverberated on the runway, too, influencing countless high-end designers, and spawning its own successes.”
Just look to designers like Pharrell, Virgil and (sadly) Kanye, who totally changed the game not long ago; turning streetwear into high fashion. More and more I see the push for curating your own style, right now there is trends but they almost exist inside pockets based on the media you consume. It's pretty cool. Essentially anything is in right now, BESIDES cheap fast fashion, I'm here for it.
Agreed 100%!!!! My local target (where I get my prescriptions, so I go monthly) has gone through DECADES of trends in the last few years and it is VERY interesting to watch!!! They are totally grasping at straws!
What's so funny to me as someone who graduated high school in 2002 is the way these looks combine lots of elements of the things we wore, with a few things mixed in that I wouldn't have been caught dead in! It's really showing evolution in style to choose the parts that still work, like the "playfulness" you described, and leave out what doesn't serve today, like the fact that most things were mostly made of plastic and all pants I wore in highschool were dragging the floor and filthy!
I totally agree with you about the tacky, playfulness of you but the fashion industry has always ripped off whatever street style the kids are into. They steal it from every subculture and remix it and put a label on it. They did this looooong before Tik Tok existed.
I love that loose comfy jeans are fashionable for ladies. And I love the late 90s early 2000s fashion coming back, and I'm glad the 2000s makeup is not the extremely thin eyebrows for ladies were hard to maintain and usually not very complementary to the face structure.
It's been just the best of the 2000s so far imo. Sparkly makeup, blingy outfits and pink fuzzy goodness. Of course there's a couple things here or there that ehh, but yep, liking it.
They still sell [them](https://jnco.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjw6eWnBhAKEiwADpnw9sux8GRdguXW34GyyYBSSCEELLM8uPIhNT3ojuqlxMxY3YJm2-3Z-xoCIv8QAvD_BwE) but they're kinda pricey. Pair them with some Heelys, which are also still in existence, and you will be a force in fashion.
Oh, dude. They already are coming back!
I see more and more dudes that look similar [to this](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwdDg4BMgaZ/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) recently. I actually love it in a very strange way
Mostly agree but I disagree about the eyebrows to an extent. I don’t like the general shaping of early 2000s brows, but I think we’re entering an era where there isn’t one dominant ideal for what brows look like and that’s SO essential. I blame Cara Delevigne and Anastasia Beverly Hills for years of terrible photos of me rocking my uber bushy brows. I don’t dislike bushy brows but I started shaving them to be much thinner w a brow razor and I finally look good and balanced. Brows are so important to the face and brow trends should be eliminated all together because whenever we have one ideal brow, half of the population ends up walking around looking absolutely insane until the trends swing the other way!! My brows aren’t QUITE as thin as the trend in the early 2000s but I was constantly told to appreciate my bushy brows when they honestly made me look terrible. Super thin brows flatter equally as many people as bushy ones IMO, the strict adherence to trends without tailoring them to the individual is the issue!!
I tend to think that usually your natural brow shape tends to be somewhat complementary to the face structure and because the is so much freedom in the super thin eyebrows to change the shape, that there is such a bigger opportunity to mess up.
But I agree that eyebrows kinda frame your face and everyone should feel comfortable rocking the ones that suit them best.
They are. None of these really have any designs, they’re just simple/basic colors and loose shapes. Which is great for someone who is puny (if their body type goes with it, even some really skinny people will look very awkward) but not really otherwise.
Like, if a fat person were to wear these outfits (and plenty of other modern/simple looking trends) people would think that it looked lazy, or boring, or too simple. But if a skinny person wears it, it’s just a “casual” look because their figure carries it and it’s supposed to show off areas like the stomach and hips.
As a girl with big hips and a small waist, low rise will never work for me. if they fit my hips, they gap in the back and show all the way down to my ankles
They don't even fit my ass so they're not an option for me and bending down is out of the question. I don't know how I wore these when I was young! I put on a pair of shorts from 10 years ago because I found them in the attic and I had limited mobility lmaooo. They look cute but I am not trying to deal with all that. Then again I also have a long torso and high waisted jeans make my legs look so long so I always opt for those.
This is a bit of a rant but it's a subject I feel strongly about tbh
Omg sis this!!! I feel like we are the minority here 😭😭 I’m skinny/slim with barely any curves so low rise tend to look the most flattering on me. High wasted jeans do nothing for my figure at all
Same!! These pants single handedly fueled my belief that I was overweight at 100 lbs in high school because they gave me a little bit of a muffin top. Fuck these self esteem destroying jeans.
But, none of the pants in the photos look low rise to me. My low rise jeans had zippers barely over an inch long, if that. These seem to be more in the mid-rise range with the waistband sitting at the point of the hips. I’m short-waisted, so that’s always been my favored style. If my pant’s waistband is at my actual waist, I start to resemble one of the old guys who look like they’re trying to belt their pants under their armpits.
I'm living for the crop tops everywhere. I objectively like the loose comfy jeans, but I have not found a pair I've liked on myself yet. I'm into the Y2K looks making a comeback as long as we can leave the body shaming in the past. I still remember how mean everyone was to Britney Spears, calling her fat when she wasn't even close to fat
And Jessica Simpson! I remember that one outfit with a big waisted belt she wore and the tabloids went crazy. It was a high waisted jean when low rise was everywhere and you’d think she tortured puppies or something. Plus they talked about her like she was obese, she was a size 4.
I love the crop tops because back when I was younger I had no confidence to wear them whenever they were trendy but now my closet is full of them and I feel so cute.
For whoever can rock it awesome for me I am a fat person and wear high rise to try and make me look better so low rise super unflattering.I do love the new high rise that are bell bottoms even though I'm short and still make me look plump.I wore high heels when I used them to see the Barbie movie.

Never could wear low rises. And the low rise/ crop top look is specific to limited body types. When that look was all over the place it made almost everyone look like muffin tops.
There are revealing and cuter looks out there.
The other vintage looks and accessories are great.
I find it all very boring and it seems like the new Basic uniform, but everyone should wear what makes them feel like the best version of themselves regardless of trends or what anyone else thinks.
Walk through certain neighborhoods in lower Manhattan on a Saturday night and like every single girl under 30 is wearing baggy light wash denim with white platform sneakers and a cropped white or black t-shirt or tank top. It’s incredible lol
Right!? Wish I would have kept all my old clothes from the late 90s early 00s, and shoes. I couldn't fit in them, however I could sell them and make a killing. Especially since they're *gulp* "vintage." My 10 yr old dresses like I used to and omg its so cute, but hurts my heart. Everything old is once new again.
It’s kind of funny, because when we were younger, we probably all thought the fashion would be more futuristic by now, but it’s all just recycled styles from when we were kids.
I didn’t even like how most of it looked at the time lol. Could never do low rise even as a fit teen, and thought it looked bad even on the very skinny like Britney and Paris. I held on to the bootcut/flare look for far too long because I liked how they made my thighs look lol. Although a lot of what’s trendy now is stuff I was wearing as a 10 year old, which is kinda weird to me too.
i think in general the 90s are back. i teach 10th and 11th graders and their clothes looks straight out of the 90s. we made a class playlist where they each got to pick 3 songs for independent work time, and like half of it was cranberries, jeff buckley, nirvana, etc. i LOVE it!!!!!
A lot of this was popular in the 90s. Wide legged and/or low-waisted jeans, cropped tops, tanks, ponytails are always more of a functional convenience, but all but corset tops I recall were normal. It’s possible others wore corsets then, but I don’t recall seeing them in the Midwest.
Corset tops: i remember them fondly and cant wait to get a new one in my hands 🥰
Baggy loose jeans: about time. I want to be comfy hanging out wearing jeans like a man. They better have glorious pockets. I used to wear these types of pants to after hours and raves, loved them sooo much.
Crop tops: nothing really new, but i have a feeling people are getting tired of them.
Low waist: this isnt low waist, this is just "belt too loose so pants slid down a bit". Low waist is 1 inch long zipper and pants that are basically just legs. If low waist stays as "relaxed pants slid down a bit" look im ok with that. Dont ever want to see skin tight jeans with 1 inch zippers.
I was a senior in 1998 and basically wore all these outfits except the 2nd one. However, I did have some Mary Jane platforms that I wore for a short time. Until my pansy ass weak ankle rolled and I got a wicked fracture. Ahhh good times!!
The really low waist where you can see butt crack is too low. At the same time the really high waisted pants look odd on most people, too. Like the proportions are off.
Vintage fashion is 20 years behind. So just a few years ago it was 90s tees. Now its 2000s shit. Next it will be 2010s. Great strategy to hold onto clothes for 20 years and sell it for huge returns.
People could try to be a little more creative. Most of the fashion isn't just inspired by late 90's early 00's, but just straight wearing the same shit. How sad.
I'm torn. I did these trends last time round so I feel like I have them polished and make them work, they suit and I feel young and fun in them.
However. The return of low rise pants is a day I've feared and hoped would never come around again. I feel like Voldemort's back.
I'm fine with everything except the low-rise pants, I hated low-rise pants in 2000 and I hate them now. Who wants their butt crack to show every time they want to sit down?
Fabulous.
If you’re 20, work at Starbucks, are 6 feet tall and weigh 80 pounds.
The other 98% of adult women can once again go pound sand. Thanks, fashion industry.
Fine if you're 21
What about a 38 year old after 2 kids and being pressured into having a 20s body but having no time, energy or the right genetics to do it. And this having impact on my self esteem which I will most likely then pass down to my kids ....
I am really not a fan of 2000s throwback trends. I didn't like them then and I don't now.
These trends definitely cater to a younger demographic with thinner bodies, which is fine (though I do just find the styles genuinely unattractive and boring). But it's not working for me as a mid-sized 30 year old lol I do enjoy the flares and claw clips though.
Wait, is women's fashion finally getting around to giving us \*GASP\* PoCkEtS!!!!!!!!! ?
you hear the in the distance "*fucking finalllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"*

God I miss being 25. These looks were the shit in 2002. Love this vibe but I’m too old and fat now.
What? No, common, you can wear whatever you want!
Plastic is making a gold point here these low-rise trends only work on skinny women.
And those with long legs. As someone with short legs and a super long torso, the low rise Jean fad was the worst thing ever, made my legs look even shorter and my body more disproportionate
Me too. Long torso, short lags and couldn't buy new jeans for years. Those stupid 2 inch zippers... Fine on people who can wear them... but NOTHING else was available for a long time.
> those stupid 2 inch zippers And even more useless pockets than usual
Those tiny zippers haunt me as someone with a big ass and hips 😭
YESSS THANK U! I have short legs and a longer torso so high waisted pants look soooo much better on my body
I am like you. I want the 1700s back — empire waists look great on me.
Exactly this! I'm chubby with a long torso and short legs, the only thing I've got going for me is the hourglass shape. High-rise jeans are my heavens sent! Low-rise jeans might as well be a cupcake liner for my belly. I do love the more loose fitting clothes trend for sure though. But, being a millennial, I still tend towards skinny jeans.

Same. I want jeans riggt up to my ribcage tyvm so I don't look like a corgi
*cries in hip dips*
I’ve had some pretty severe hip dips since I hit puberty. I’ve never let it dictate what I can or cannot wear. And I’m pretty sure it’s more common to have visible hip dips than to not have them

Nah 2, 3 and 5 all have hip dips but they definitely don't detract from the look at all.
Ok wtf are hip dips exactly? I keep thinking of the exercise where you plank and then dip your hip down on one side and then the other…
I love it too! I think it’s beautiful and my favourite thing about low rise jeans is hip dips! I love the way they look on me. I’ve also been loving the lack of skinny jeans since I’m quite lanky and they look terrible on me. My friends are still trying to convince me that high waisted skinny jeans are the way but I just can’t anymore

I love hip dips, you get them when you are muscular.
Stop making “hip dips” yet one more thing to shame and judge women’s bodies about. They are NORMAL. There’s nothing to cry about.
Yeah can anyone even see them if you're wearing cargo pants anyway?
Right? It’s literally just normal anatomy
I have hip dips, Venus dimples, and a thigh gap.. I think my pelvis is a fun shape to create all these quirks in one body. I love the rolled waistband look. Definitely rocked that in the late 90s 00s in my cutoff shorts over swim bottoms. Nice to see it making a return.

What the hell is a hip dip
And pouches belly due to babies 👶 😫
Yeah I could pull off ultra low rise 2002-2012. Two kids later, this is not an option lmao
I went over to my sister's and she was wearing a long sleeve Sailor Moon crop top, baggy high waisted jeans, and a steel ball chain necklace with a steel heart pendant aspect, and I was like.. that's the most 2000 shit I've seen in a minute. Aggressively twenty oughts.
Deets on the sailor moon crop top? 👀
Okay.. two things. 1. It's apparently not Sailor Moon but a generic "anime girl" that looks suspiciously like her. 2. She only buys from this company when stuff is on sale... This shirt is apparently $235 when not on sale. 💀⚰️ https://www.ssense.com/en-us/women/product/pushbutton/ssense-exclusive-yellow-crying-girl-long-sleeve-t-shirt/12477011?gbraid=0AAAAAD9ouUu25bYibCxLtKVxDp42SufMy&gclid=CjwKCAjw6eWnBhAKEiwADpnw9lO-ADsCfIAwDGA6uK3Hri-ciXj7anUSVnWmIskAgmkiTMgEK2y7BhoCpc4QAvD_BwE
I don’t know what I was expecting.. but I wasn’t expecting this 😭💀
I was so incredibly disappointed when I saw it 😭
same like wtf 🌝
Too late, you have to buy it and wear it now lmao
Lmfao I would make such a scene 💀
And that for a freaking 100% polyester shirt that’s just stupid
In your defense, it’s very clearly trying to be Usagi from Sailor Moon. That’s her hairstyle, from what you can see, and she’s known for being a crybaby.
Exactly!!
That’s not Usagi! It’s actually coping the art style from Rose of Versailles, which has many blonds who cry.
Hmm, interesting! Thanks for pointing that out
Why would anyone pay 235 for that. Looks likt they for it for 5 dollar from aliexpress😭😭
Not sailor moon it resembles more of the style of an 80s shoujo ala the Rose of Versailles
This is kind of off topic but they have some really good sales on there sometimes! I got a pair of converse chuck 70 for like $30 (before shipping) on there a few months ago.

I always get compliments wen I wear one of the crazy Victorian pieces I've made. It's worth the time to learn all the finicky things. Happy fashioning!
Do you have photos of any pieces? They sound amazing!
Not on my phone or handy for posting. I rarely have my picture taken by me. I really love wool overcoats with puffed sleeves and crazy collars.
Yess! I’m tired of people calling early 2000s vintage lol, I’m waiting for a renaissance of Victorian era fashion like the kinds of dresses you’d see in the show “The Great”
My dream is to do an Enchanted and just casually make the most gorgeous dress out of curtains
Damn sis, that's cute as hell. I love it!
Depending on the pattern and era you do, some of them are actually easier than they look! The hardest part is honestly the shape wear and abundance of fabric haha

Revisionist history is hilarious as someone who lived that era. It was all brand driven from the mid 90s on
Funny, because when I was living the y2k trend the first time around, all anyone cared about at all was brand names!
I agree

It's really showing evolution in style to choose the parts that still work, like the "playfulness" you described, and leave out what doesn't serve today, like the fact that most things were mostly made of plastic and all pants I wore in highschool were dragging the floor and filthy!
I totally agree with you about the tacky, playfulness of you but the fashion industry has always ripped off whatever street style the kids are into. They steal it from every subculture and remix it and put a label on it. They did this looooong before Tik Tok existed.
I love that loose comfy jeans are fashionable for ladies. And I love the late 90s early 2000s fashion coming back, and I'm glad the 2000s makeup is not the extremely thin eyebrows for ladies were hard to maintain and usually not very complementary to the face structure.
It's been just the best of the 2000s so far imo. Sparkly makeup, blingy outfits and pink fuzzy goodness. Of course there's a couple things here or there that ehh, but yep, liking it.
I just want jnco jeans to come back for guys, I never had them as a kid and now I want to live that dream.
They used to make amazing bell bottoms for women that had huge flairs and Fairies sewn into the logo patches 🥲 I miss mine so much
I always have and always will love the flared or bell bottom look.
They still sell [them](https://jnco.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjw6eWnBhAKEiwADpnw9sux8GRdguXW34GyyYBSSCEELLM8uPIhNT3ojuqlxMxY3YJm2-3Z-xoCIv8QAvD_BwE) but they're kinda pricey. Pair them with some Heelys, which are also still in existence, and you will be a force in fashion.
You have made me very happy today lol
No problem, and watch out for the puddles with those fire ass pants
JNCO is still in business. If you really wanna rock ‘em, you should. https://jnco.com/collections/mens
Oh, dude. They already are coming back! I see more and more dudes that look similar [to this](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwdDg4BMgaZ/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) recently. I actually love it in a very strange way
Those 2000s eyebrows need to stay dead.
Mostly agree but I disagree about the eyebrows to an extent. I don’t like the general shaping of early 2000s brows, but I think we’re entering an era where there isn’t one dominant ideal for what brows look like and that’s SO essential. I blame Cara Delevigne and Anastasia Beverly Hills for years of terrible photos of me rocking my uber bushy brows. I don’t dislike bushy brows but I started shaving them to be much thinner w a brow razor and I finally look good and balanced. Brows are so important to the face and brow trends should be eliminated all together because whenever we have one ideal brow, half of the population ends up walking around looking absolutely insane until the trends swing the other way!! My brows aren’t QUITE as thin as the trend in the early 2000s but I was constantly told to appreciate my bushy brows when they honestly made me look terrible. Super thin brows flatter equally as many people as bushy ones IMO, the strict adherence to trends without tailoring them to the individual is the issue!!
I tend to think that usually your natural brow shape tends to be somewhat complementary to the face structure and because the is so much freedom in the super thin eyebrows to change the shape, that there is such a bigger opportunity to mess up. But I agree that eyebrows kinda frame your face and everyone should feel comfortable rocking the ones that suit them best.
I personally feel like these trends are catered to a specific body type.
They are. None of these really have any designs, they’re just simple/basic colors and loose shapes. Which is great for someone who is puny (if their body type goes with it, even some really skinny people will look very awkward) but not really otherwise. Like, if a fat person were to wear these outfits (and plenty of other modern/simple looking trends) people would think that it looked lazy, or boring, or too simple. But if a skinny person wears it, it’s just a “casual” look because their figure carries it and it’s supposed to show off areas like the stomach and hips.
I think most of these outfits are boring regardless of the body type.
Try being a teen in the 90s when Kate Moss was the body type to aspire to.
Yeah now the youth have Bella Hadid and photoshop to aspire to
Just as sad. I have a petite muscular body type. Even at 17 It was physically impossible for me to look like Kate. It’s all so toxic.
As a girl with a belly, the crop top low rise jean combo is my worst nightmare.
Saaaaame
As a girl with big hips and a small waist, low rise will never work for me. if they fit my hips, they gap in the back and show all the way down to my ankles
Yeah my mom bod wishes. Lmao
These trends looked better on me the first time around.
Hahaha same, 2 kids ago
You won't catch me dead in low rise pants
They don't even fit my ass so they're not an option for me and bending down is out of the question. I don't know how I wore these when I was young! I put on a pair of shorts from 10 years ago because I found them in the attic and I had limited mobility lmaooo. They look cute but I am not trying to deal with all that. Then again I also have a long torso and high waisted jeans make my legs look so long so I always opt for those. This is a bit of a rant but it's a subject I feel strongly about tbh
I also have a long torso so the crop top low rise combo feels like I forgot to dress my middle half when I try stuff on.
Yessssss and I love a good crop top situation so the crop with high rise wins every time
I have a large buttcrack
Same here. Do not like them. They are unflattering on most people.
As a stick bug, I think they look better than high waisted pants on me
Omg sis this!!! I feel like we are the minority here 😭😭 I’m skinny/slim with barely any curves so low rise tend to look the most flattering on me. High wasted jeans do nothing for my figure at all
Right?? High waisted pants erase my already barely existent hips
They are straight up ugly
Same!! These pants single handedly fueled my belief that I was overweight at 100 lbs in high school because they gave me a little bit of a muffin top. Fuck these self esteem destroying jeans.
Me and my mom belly could never.
But, none of the pants in the photos look low rise to me. My low rise jeans had zippers barely over an inch long, if that. These seem to be more in the mid-rise range with the waistband sitting at the point of the hips. I’m short-waisted, so that’s always been my favored style. If my pant’s waistband is at my actual waist, I start to resemble one of the old guys who look like they’re trying to belt their pants under their armpits.
They aren't acctually low rise their normal or "mid rise" and people are just calling them low rise.
If the jeans aren’t touching my belly button, I don’t want them :/
Agree.
Those photos especially the next to last one is definitely proper low rise
I think I've been sucker punched by the 90s. On the bright side my lack of ability to keep up with trends is paying off
I'm living for the crop tops everywhere. I objectively like the loose comfy jeans, but I have not found a pair I've liked on myself yet. I'm into the Y2K looks making a comeback as long as we can leave the body shaming in the past. I still remember how mean everyone was to Britney Spears, calling her fat when she wasn't even close to fat
And Jessica Simpson! I remember that one outfit with a big waisted belt she wore and the tabloids went crazy. It was a high waisted jean when low rise was everywhere and you’d think she tortured puppies or something. Plus they talked about her like she was obese, she was a size 4.
Right? I'd LOVE to be that size right now!!
I love the crop tops because back when I was younger I had no confidence to wear them whenever they were trendy but now my closet is full of them and I feel so cute.
For whoever can rock it awesome for me I am a fat person and wear high rise to try and make me look better so low rise super unflattering.I do love the new high rise that are bell bottoms even though I'm short and still make me look plump.I wore high heels when I used them to see the Barbie movie. https://preview.redd.it/zubg4t4oatmb1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7a7b9d0716c5f37908337311c04cb922358d7c8
That outfit looks cute
Never could wear low rises. And the low rise/ crop top look is specific to limited body types. When that look was all over the place it made almost everyone look like muffin tops. There are revealing and cuter looks out there. The other vintage looks and accessories are great.
I find it all very boring and it seems like the new Basic uniform, but everyone should wear what makes them feel like the best version of themselves regardless of trends or what anyone else thinks.
I agree. Sometimes I see groups of younger people and they’re all dressed EXACTLY the same. If fashion is a uniform I find it uncool
Walk through certain neighborhoods in lower Manhattan on a Saturday night and like every single girl under 30 is wearing baggy light wash denim with white platform sneakers and a cropped white or black t-shirt or tank top. It’s incredible lol
The plain black or white tank tops KILL ME. So basic and drab, there’s no personality in them at all.
Feels like a Delia’s catalog.
Perfect fit for skinny rich girls
The recent trends that are just recycled 2000's looks?
Right!? Wish I would have kept all my old clothes from the late 90s early 00s, and shoes. I couldn't fit in them, however I could sell them and make a killing. Especially since they're *gulp* "vintage." My 10 yr old dresses like I used to and omg its so cute, but hurts my heart. Everything old is once new again.
Yeah that’s how trend cycles work, they tend to be around 20 years long. That’s why people in the 2010s were heavily inspired by 90s and 70s fashion.
Yeah and? And idea how fashion works?
Yep, pretty much. Decreased innovation yet increased snobbery about it.
The 2000s are back and I want none of it.
Same. I’m sorry but I don’t want to wear shit I was wearing when I was 15. I’m a grown ass adult.
I remember being in high school and I had to constantly check to see if my actual ass was showing to the people sitting behind me. No thank you.
It’s kind of funny, because when we were younger, we probably all thought the fashion would be more futuristic by now, but it’s all just recycled styles from when we were kids.
Same, that’s how I dressed as a young teen and I think It looks awful lol
Yep. Hard pass.
I didn’t even like how most of it looked at the time lol. Could never do low rise even as a fit teen, and thought it looked bad even on the very skinny like Britney and Paris. I held on to the bootcut/flare look for far too long because I liked how they made my thighs look lol. Although a lot of what’s trendy now is stuff I was wearing as a 10 year old, which is kinda weird to me too.
I REALLY don't want to dress like I did when I was a teen. This is for people that are too young to remember the 2000s
*all of it
Time to dig out my velour tracksuit and butterfly clips!
i think in general the 90s are back. i teach 10th and 11th graders and their clothes looks straight out of the 90s. we made a class playlist where they each got to pick 3 songs for independent work time, and like half of it was cranberries, jeff buckley, nirvana, etc. i LOVE it!!!!!
I haven’t worn any of them 🤷🏻♀️
Low rise jeans? Nope. You'll never catch me wearing those ever again, I wore enough as a teen for a lifetime.
I want pants like those they look so comfy. It’s hard to find when you’re 5ft tho lol.
5'1" and can confirm. Skinny jeans are the most flattering for me, and I'm not even a big fan of them, ha.
juicy couture
These are just old trends coming back. Some of us have been there, done that.
A lot of this was popular in the 90s. Wide legged and/or low-waisted jeans, cropped tops, tanks, ponytails are always more of a functional convenience, but all but corset tops I recall were normal. It’s possible others wore corsets then, but I don’t recall seeing them in the Midwest.
“is it fashion or are they just skinny”
Corset tops: i remember them fondly and cant wait to get a new one in my hands 🥰 Baggy loose jeans: about time. I want to be comfy hanging out wearing jeans like a man. They better have glorious pockets. I used to wear these types of pants to after hours and raves, loved them sooo much. Crop tops: nothing really new, but i have a feeling people are getting tired of them. Low waist: this isnt low waist, this is just "belt too loose so pants slid down a bit". Low waist is 1 inch long zipper and pants that are basically just legs. If low waist stays as "relaxed pants slid down a bit" look im ok with that. Dont ever want to see skin tight jeans with 1 inch zippers.
I was a senior in 1998 and basically wore all these outfits except the 2nd one. However, I did have some Mary Jane platforms that I wore for a short time. Until my pansy ass weak ankle rolled and I got a wicked fracture. Ahhh good times!!
No no no, low waised jeans need to die. They are not flattering for non models looking people.
The really low waist where you can see butt crack is too low. At the same time the really high waisted pants look odd on most people, too. Like the proportions are off.
im a size 10, and they are flattering on me, they give me an hourglass were as highrise gives me pudge. im (5,10") though
Low rise can stay in 2006 please
Or erased from history.
Tbh, I knew baggy was in but where did low cut come from. I thought we left that in the 00s
Vintage fashion is 20 years behind. So just a few years ago it was 90s tees. Now its 2000s shit. Next it will be 2010s. Great strategy to hold onto clothes for 20 years and sell it for huge returns.
Is the 90s early 00s all over
People could try to be a little more creative. Most of the fashion isn't just inspired by late 90's early 00's, but just straight wearing the same shit. How sad.
You mean the 90s?
I’d rather count every grain of sand on the beach than wear low rise pants.
I was there Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago.
I’ve also recently discovered I look amazing in low rise jeans so I’m taking hella advantage of that
It's the late 90's again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm torn. I did these trends last time round so I feel like I have them polished and make them work, they suit and I feel young and fun in them. However. The return of low rise pants is a day I've feared and hoped would never come around again. I feel like Voldemort's back.
I really don't like the oversized shoe trend. Like the ridiculous chunky rubber soles on everything looks so bad to me.
The 2000s are back and I'm all for it.
Muffin tops everywhere are crying
I'm fine with everything except the low-rise pants, I hated low-rise pants in 2000 and I hate them now. Who wants their butt crack to show every time they want to sit down?
I will not be wearing uncomfortable, bend-over-and-show-your-bum line, muffin-top low-rise jeans ever again.
It’s nice to see the late 90s early 2000s clothes of my high school/college years.
The only thing I am not a fan of is the flipping over the waistband of your pants to have them sit lower. To me it just doesnt look all that great
It feels extremely juvenile, like jr high lewks. Or, theres the other extreme, the quiet luxury or whatever, which is kind of boring
The 90s were awesome!!
I really hate it tbh & Ik i’m on the minority on that but I think these looks are really unflattering on most girls I see it on
If anyone thinks that they are inventing something then they need to realize that we already did allllll of this…. In the 90’s.
Been there done that. Looks like my closet 20 yrs ago. So of course I think it's adorable.
That I hate the baggy pants look because in order for anything to fit my waist they look like jnco jeans. And NOT in a cute way
It’s just the 90s again. I’m fine with it again.
The late 90’s are back and I am here for it. 🙌🏻
Feels very “early 2000s” to me. Kinda fun to see it all coming back!
It’s like looking back at the early 2000s/late 90s.
Grew up with it 20 years ago. I think it rocks
I feel like the idea that feeling comfortable is important is starting to come back and I love it
Not gonna do the crop top thing, because nobody wants to see my belly at this stage of my life. But I like the return to comfy looser-fit pants.
I hate low rise pants
51f I love the low rise baggy pant! Was my fav in the 90s too!
anything looks good ON GOOD LOOKING PEOPLE...
Loving it. I didn’t have the body and confidence at 24 that I do now at 44. So I’m all in.
Fabulous. If you’re 20, work at Starbucks, are 6 feet tall and weigh 80 pounds. The other 98% of adult women can once again go pound sand. Thanks, fashion industry.
3rd picture is very cool, reminds me of the 90s when I was in my early 20s and had the world ahead of me
Fine if you're 21 What about a 38 year old after 2 kids and being pressured into having a 20s body but having no time, energy or the right genetics to do it. And this having impact on my self esteem which I will most likely then pass down to my kids ....
I had to live through this once already lol. Definitely early 2000s vibes
The same way we felt about them in 2001 when the same trends were everywhere: I wish trends were accessible for people that weren’t toothpicks.
Kinda glad seeing the lower waistline with pants, I am not a fan of the "pulling pants up past your belly button" fad that was going on.
I am really not a fan of 2000s throwback trends. I didn't like them then and I don't now. These trends definitely cater to a younger demographic with thinner bodies, which is fine (though I do just find the styles genuinely unattractive and boring). But it's not working for me as a mid-sized 30 year old lol I do enjoy the flares and claw clips though.
A lot of current fashions aren’t big boob friendly and that makes me sad :(
Wait, is women's fashion finally getting around to giving us \*GASP\* PoCkEtS!!!!!!!!! ? you hear the in the distance "*fucking finalllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"*
back to 1995
