Looking back at outdated styles can feel a lot like time-traveling. Trends that used to be a hit can now make us laugh, feel nostalgic, or even inspire us to try and recreate some of the throwback styles. Back at the start of the 2000s, a variety of new trends emerged — some of them became classic, while others we would rather forget ever existed. Let’s look at some of the most popular clothing items of that era that most of us proudly wore back in the day.
