Kim Kardashian's velour tracksuits, and 7 other 00s trends we desperately hope don't comeback.

I think I can speak on the entire global population’s half when I say the 2000s was a period of time where it was near impossible to look good.

I mean, actually look good. Like empowered, natural, feelin' myself loveliness.

...perhaps I am over over-egging it because, sure, Jennifer Aniston looked great in the 2000s. I, however, was rocking a wonky fringe, a get-the-London-look tooth gap and belts wider than the mini-skirts they sat on.

So that’s why when Kim Kardashian dropped her latest SKIMS collection, featuring throwback ‘Velour’ items and modelled by her and her noughties-bestie Paris Hilton, I panicked.

Does this mean that other 2000s trends are going to be seeping back into fashion? 

Instantly visions of khaki cut-offs, oversized pink glasses and dresses over jeans come flooding into my brain. And I feel queasy. 

So, in order to try to stop these styles from coming back around, I’m listing them all here, to read as a giant red flag. Let’s band together to stop the resurgence of these terrible 2000s trends. 

Capri pants.

Low-rise capri pants, to be specific. Barely hanging off the hips of every celebrity in the decade, these puppies were best paired with a crop top - ideally with some scrunchie ruching or an un-PC print.

Much like low-rise anything, this cut is particularly tricky to manage and has zero of the comfort of our high-waisted faves. 

White tank tops.

These were the 2000s staple. Able to be worn with jeans, jean shorts, jean skirts and its essential pairing is, of course, a bra that is any other colour but white. Straps to be showcased as an essential part of the ~lewk~.

...okay maybe not to this level. But this was a major 2000's vibe.

While tank tops are still probably considered a staple, we’re glad sensible, practical bras have found their home under them.

Dresses over jeans.

I would like to say a polite ‘No thank you’ to this noughties trend. It was simply the worst combination of ‘dressy-casual’ and this extreme level of layering I’m sure was the cause of most thrush cases in the early 2000s.

Long skinny scarves.

Practical for staving off cold chills? Absolutely not.

Scarves as belts.

Serving no actual purpose of holding up your pants and giving us more of a Captain Jack Sparrow vibe than fashion-forward trend.

In fact, while we’re on the topic of belts.... 

Ginormous Belts.

When the belt is longer than the skirt, you know you’ve hit a problematic ratio.

Jean chains.

While I’m a fan of layering jewellery, dangling multiple silver chains off your jean pocket is not something I’m willing to ever re-subscribe to.

Here's hoping that none of these are seen on me in the near or distant future. It's better for the wider world that way.
