A total mixture of styles this is how, in a nutshell, the fashion of the 2000s can be described. As a result of globalisation, the catwalks were filled with elements referring to the styles of hippie and boho, vintage began to be treated with great adoration, and the whole mix was complemented by a modern atmosphere straight from modern America. There is no denying that the fashion of the 2000s was greatly influenced by subcultures, especially hip-hop and rock. An interesting fact is that it was at this time that the ecological lifestyle began to be promoted, and designers began to use organic materials, from which the most interesting collections were created. What exactly is the fashion of the 2000s, and what elements of it still prevail in women's fashion? Find out now.

Fashion of the 2000s — what is it about?

It is certain that women's fashion began to flourish after the year 2000. At that time, mass consumerism was noticed, and clothes started to be bought in so-called chain stores. Throughout the world, individual items of clothing began to be produced at low cost, and not always with good quality materials, but always based on the latest fashion trends. It was also a time when people started to experiment with fashion - classic jeans and velour tracksuits began to be additionally decorated with expressive ornaments. Low-rise jeans and military trousers with low-rise waists, combined with short T-shirts like crop tops, were a typical trend in the 2000s.

Fashion in the 2000s was like a colourful bird, full of patterns and shades, different textures and materials! Interestingly, modern fashion has seen a big comeback of some trends, with recent seasons clearly borrowing designs from the past. The most fashionable outfits of today are full of inspiration from the 2000s, with low-rise waists and short tops back in fashion, denim skirts comeback and flowy dresses being popular again.

However, the key role is played by accessories like circle earrings, round sunglasses and hairstyles with thin braids as the highlight. Rainbow colours are back on the streets, and the variety of patterns guarantees that there is never a dull moment in the 2000s-inspired outfits. Britney Spears, Christina Aquilera and Jeniffer Lopez are the most iconic figures of this style, so be sure to follow their example! Fashion goes round in circles — many of the accents that were typical in the year 2000 are still popular today. You can easily find 2000s outfits in the latest Chanel collections, and the ambassador of this fashion trend is the world-famous Dua Lipa.

The 2000s style: mini skirts with patterned tights

Spring is the time for skirts. The ultra-feminine 2000s styles - midi boho skirts and low-waisted straight tube mini skirts are just the thing. Wear plain, multi-purpose skirts, but add some variety, with patterned tights, for example. For work, subtle polka dots will do, but for dinner for two or a crazy party with friends, you can go for much bolder patterned tights. Colourful tights or tights with floral patterns, diamonds, herringbone, cheques, stripes or animal prints are a great choice referring to the 2000s fashion. All types of vintage-style tights, for which the 2000s were a big turning point, will look fantastic too.

Go for tasteful kitsch — creative use of fishnets

Torn jeans and fishnets or fishnets with a denim mini skirt? If the fashion of the 2000s is your inspiration, then yes! Fishnet tights are perfect not only for everyday looks, but for chic outfits too. You can wear them with a leather skirt and stiletto heels for a nightclub party, or with shorts and sneakers for an everyday look. You don't have to be afraid of kitsch elements if you keep your style simple and don't go overboard with other details.

The '00s - go for glittery outfit elements

The fashion of the 2000s is full of sparkle, colours and unusual decorations. Glitter is a real eye-catcher. This theme is still popular today and can be seenin top designers' collections. However, choose more subtle accessories and instead of a blouse covered in glittering specks, wear patterned tights with a delicate sparkle. For special occasions, choose tights with silver threads or transparent tights with shiny elements. Remember that tights are not the only eye-catching accessory — your outfit can be completed with quarter or knee-high socks with glitter.

Glitter, zircons, crystals and rhinestones are the undisputed highlights of the 2000s style. If you want to look fashionable and combine the latest trends with the style of the past years, you must use them not only for fancy outings but for everyday outfits too.

2000 - the year for see-through fashion

See-through clothes, including see-through short tops and mesh blouses, are also regarded as the fashion symbol of the 2000s. Pair them with a short blazer, wide low-rise jeans and sneakers for a great street style look.

See-through clothes are present in today's fashion as well, and they are visible not only on catwalks or stages. You can wear their more wild versions for hanging out with friends or to a concert, but long-sleeved blouses made of see-through chiffon are also suitable for a casual look at a company banquet. Just match them with a classic pencil skirt, opaque tights and pumps, or with wide, creased trousers.

Although after the era of ubiquitous minimalism, the fashion of the 2000s was often considered kitschy and infantile, its main features can be found in the latest clothing collections of the world's most famous designers. Multicoloured palette, bold designs, and a wide range of details such as glitter or see-through accessories are back in the game. There is no denying, however, that although modern fashion is inspired by the trends from years past, the one that is present today is expressed in a slightly more delicate, sophisticated and elegant way.
