The 2000s are often described as a "mash-up" decade,[1] where trends saw the fusion of previous styles, global and ethnic clothing, as well as the fashions of numerous subcultures, such as hipsters. For the most part, the decade did not have one particular style like the decades from the '40s to '80s, but rather a recycling of styles from past decades, which was common in 1990s fashion. Many 1990s styles continued into the 2000s, but became more polished.[2] The minimalist aesthetic of 1990s fashion continued in the first years of the decade, but fashion moved away from minimalism from 2003 onwards.
Despite the numerous and mixed fashion trends of the 2000s, items of clothing which were predominant or popular throughout the decade include Ugg boots,[3] High-tops, hoodies, and skinny jeans[4]. Globalization also influenced the decade's clothing trends, with the fusion of fashions from around the world being popular.[5] Furthermore, eco-friendly and ethical clothing, such as recycled fashions and fake fur, were prominent in the decade.[6]
In the early 2000s, women and girls wore shoes and boots with rounded or flat toes. Dressy, feminine styles were reintroduced over the course of the decade, as women's fashion moved away from the more unisex styles of the 1990s. From the early 2000s onwards, women wore denim miniskirts, burberry, hip-hop inspired sweatpants, Daisy Dukes, ripped "distressed" jeans, flip-flops, ponchos, flared trousers, denim jackets and tank tops exposing the midriff. Colors like baby blue, yellow and hot pink were popular.
From the mid 2000s onwards European and American women wore lowrise skinny jeans,[7] lycra yoga wear, knee-high boots with pointed toes, trenchcoats and peacoats, tunics worn with wide or thin belts, capri pants, longer tank tops worn with a main blouse or shirt, leggings, and "vintage clothing" including hippie and Boho inspired dresses with paisley patterns. Crocs were a brief fad for both sexes in the summer of 2005, despite their kitsch connotations.[8][9][10]
In the late 2000s, headbands, denim-print leggings, knitted sweater dresses, Nike Tempo shorts, wonderbra and sloggi underwear, ballet flats, acid wash skinny jeans and light, translucent tartan shirts worn with a camisole underneath were popular among young women. Long, baggy shirts were taken in at the bustline and often paired with a belt. Leather jackets and fur coats (previously avoided due to their association with animal cruelty) made a comeback. In Britain Middle Eastern shemaghs were worn as scarves as a protest agains the Iraq War and demonstration of solidarity with the Palestinians.[11]
In the early 2000s Argyle socks, khaki slacks, bootcut jeans, tracksuits,[12] light-colored polo shirts (sometimes striped), white AdidasorNike trainers, baggy carpenter jeans, Oxford shoes, loafers, camp shirts (often in fancy metallic patterns for clubbing), and baseball caps were popular.[13] Practical hiking jackets (of the type made by Berghaus), fleeces and padded tartan lumberjack-type shirts were worn as winter outerwear.
In the mid 2000s retro fashions inspired by British indie pop groups and the 1960s counterculture became popular[14], including Converse All-stars, winklepickers (taken to extremes by individuals within the Mexican cholo and lowrider subcultures), cartoon print hoodies (in contrast to the designer brands worn by the chav subculture), vintage T-shirts, slim-fitting jeans[15] (popularised by garage rock revival band The Strokes), Mod-style parkas, military surplus dress jackets and fitted 1970s style Western shirts[16] with pearl snaps[17] (popularised by blues-rock band the White Stripes).
In the late 2000s 1950s and 1980s fashions became popular: Letterman jackets, black leather jackets[18] like the Perfecto, Hawaiian shirts, straight leg jeans,[19] Ray Ban Aviator sunglasses, Ed Hardy T-shirts, houndstooth tweed jackets, neon colors inspired by rave music[20], geek chic inspired horn rimmed glasses, roll sleeve tartan flannel shirts worn with white T-shirts, cardigans and knitted V-neck sweaters.[21] Popular footwear in Europe and America included Sperry Top-Siders, Keds, motorcycle boots, Nike Air Jordans,[22] checkerboard pattern Vans, and Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars.[23] In the European workplace the cut of suits changed as the three buttoned jackets popular in the 1990s were replaced with suits comprising a two-buttoned blazer and matching trousers.[24] These sometimes featured contrasting Edwardian style piping on the lapels and were often worn with slim ties and waistcoats.
Youth fashion was strongly influenced by many music-based subcultures such as Emo, Indie kids, scene kids,[25] Psychobilly, Preppy, Skater, Goth, Nu-Metal (known as Moshers in the UK)[26], ravers and Hip-Hop[27], including the British chav, US gangsta rapper and Mexican Cholo styles of the early 2000s.[28]
In the early 2000s womens hair was long and straight. Side-swept bangs become popular towards the mid-2000's. Towards the late 2000's, textured hair with volume, natural wavy hair, side-parted hair and shorter styles like the bob cut and pixie cut made a comeback. For black women cornrows, dreadlocks, a tamed-down version of the Afro and Jheri curl were popular in the late 2000s, replacing the earlier straightened hair.
For men over 25, short hair has been the norm since the mid 1990s. In the early 2000s this usually took the form of a quiff although collar-length centrally parted curtained hair (as worn by Tom Cruise) was also briefly popular in the US and remains so in Japan. Other popular haircuts include spiky hair, buzzcut, flat top and fauxhawk. In the late 2000s beards, moustaches, stubble and the goatee became popular in reaction to the effeminate metrosexual look, with charitable events like Movember further increasing their acceptability.[29]
For teenagers short hair like the buzzcut and Caesar cut were popular in the early 2000s. In the mid 2000s longer hair became popular, including the wings (haircut) inspired by surfers and British indie pop stars.[30] In the late 2000s the androgynous Harajuku inspired scene hairstyles (often dyed bright colors) and eyeliner were popular among girls and boys alike.[31] As an alternative to the scene hairstyles, teenage girls opted for a preppy hairstyle that involved long, straight hair, side-swept bangs and a side part, while boys wore side-swept surfer hair.
