These 2000s Fashion Trends Made a Comeback in 2024

As a mid-’90s baby, the early aughts were my formative fashion years. Nearly every wardrobe malfunction, fashion risk, or otherwise chaotic clothing choice I made took place between 2000 and 2010. So, imagine my surprise when, as a nearly 30-year-old, I noticed that many of the most controversial fashion trends from the 2000s were suddenly cool again for fall 2024. While they were cringe in the early aughts, even fashion experts agree: some of them are surprisingly chic.

Michelle Finamore, a fashion historian and curator, has a few ideas about why these trends are making a fierce comeback. Her top theory? Nostalgia. “I always look to pop culture television and film for clues,” she tells Marie Claire over email, citing Gilmore Girls, Sex and The City, and Grey’s Anatomy as of-the-time references. Now that the original viewership has gotten older, they finally have the funds to tap into the trends they wish they could have worn all those years ago. Oh—and our time chronically spent online may also be to blame. “Social media and TikTok have changed the game—there is such an overabundance of vintage styling from all decades that is constantly accessible online,” she says.
