| Details: The early 2000s consisted of a collaboration of clothes from the last 40 years up until the new millennium. Most of it also retained much from the late 90's. Heavy metal fashion was worn by a notable subculture of teenagers until 2003 due to the popularity of nu metal bands, and remains common among the youth in the US, parts of Europe (especially Greece, Scandinavia and Germany) and Latin America.[1] Pop punk fashion characterized by wearing baggy jeans, wristbands, spikey hair, patrol caps or trucker hats, Aviator sunglasses, and full-zip hoodies (which are now urban and preppy in the late 2000s) was very popular in the early 2000s. This was due to the success of bands such as blink-182, Lit, and Sum 41.[2] Hip-hop fashions (especially hoodies and sweatpants) influenced many subcultures including chav, juggalo and gangsta. [3] Daisy Dukes, Uggs and cowboy boots have been worn by girls throughout the decade. The "Tough Guys Wear Pink" craze hits young members of the hipster and prep subculture. [4] Within Hip Hop clothing, Denim-jean jackets with matching jeans were popular,along with track suits (primarily made of fleece that matched top and bottom usually worn with a headband for guys). Bandanas with rhinestones were popular from late 2000 to early 2002. Phat farm shoes and apparel were extremely popular during this time Within the mainstream, wristbands compromised of three colours were in usu.(Red,Blue and White or the Rasta coloured - Red,Green and Yellow) (2003) Trucker hats and vintage t-shirts from American Eagle and its many counterparts were high in popularity (2003). Young Italian men of the late 2000s prefer rumpled jeans and designer sweatshirts European teenage girl wearing skinny jeans and thin-strapped top, both popular fashions in 2008. [edit] Mid 2000s (2004 - 2006) Gel bracelets became briefly popular in 2004[5] During most of the early and mid 2000s, it was unfashionable to wear formal clothing unless it was in the business world, church, and special events due to the popularity of the "smart casual" style.[6] This changed in the autumn of 2006, when the power suit received worldwide popularity amongst young men for its structured design.[7] Sagging, popularised by rappers, lost its appeal around 2006 as expensive, close-fitting designer jeans rose in popularity, particularly amongst men. Baggy and loose styles of the 90's gave way to bootcut and flare jeans popularised by 7 for all Mankind, True Religion, Rock & Republic and Diesel S.p.A..[8] Men and Women began to wear skinny-fit lowrise jeans that became even more popular later in the decade as jeans' waistlines were cut as low as possible.[9] Hip- hugging, denim mini-skirts were also worn. Designer glasses (often with thick rims), sunglasses such as Ray Ban Wayfarers, aviators, and rim-less glasses became widely available and extremely popular as geek chic went mainstream. This trend started about 2004 and has continued into the late 2000s for both males and females.[10] In Hip Hop, the throwback jersey and baggy pants (popular in the 90's to 2003) was replaced with the more "Grown Man" Look which was highly popularized and brought in by controversial rapper, Kanye West. Polo tops, and stripped dress shirts were the norm amongst young males, especially pink polo tops popularized by rapper Cam'ron. Nike Air Force 1 shoes and Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star were popular footwear. Dickie pants amongst hip hop fashion became popular in 2005. Handkercheifs or bandanas (of various styles and colours) worn around the neck usually forming a V-type shape became popular in mid-2006 and into 2007. Japanese kimonos and lacquer jewelry came in during 2006, inspired by the film release of Memoirs of a Geisha (film). Military attire became popular among indie fans. Men originally wore surplus dress jackets which were later produced by companies for the civilian market[11] while women wore versions with more feminine lace or beading on it. Camouflage patterns, bandanas or shemaghs are frequently worn as scarves by young people in winter.[12] Boho-chic: 60s/70s patterns with ethnic jewelry (popular again in Summer 2008)[13] Shoes and boots with long, extremely pointed toes were worn by both men and women in the mid-2000s.[14] In 2005, other styles that appeared on the scene were Capri pants or pinocchietti as they were called in Italy, where they were popular. These usually stopped at just below the knee, and could be worn casually with sandals, dressed up with high heels, or worn with boots in winter.[15] Bright colored plastic clogs known as Crocs[16] were a brief fad in the summer of 2006.[17] Pop singer Britney Spears sets many trends throughout the decade. [edit] Late 2000s (2007 2009) 2007 saw a return of leggings for women. These were worn with long, fitted tunic tops, or baby-doll dresses and shirts with empire waists. As in the 1980s, they were sometimes paired with mini skirts. Purple and mustard yellow were the fashionable colours. In 2007, ballerina flats returned, and the toes of shoes were rounded, replacing the pointed-toed shoe popular in the middle of the decade.[18] Boots came in a variety of sizes, with the heels high and geometric in shape. The late 2000s saw a return to the grunge look of the early-to mid 90's in mens fashion: flannel shirts worn with bright colored shirts underneath, T-shirts worn with long sleeved thermal shirts, vans, beanie hats, work boots and ripped loose-fitting stonewashed jeans.[19] Flannel and lumberjack tops worn with skinny-jeans In late 2008 the denim waistcoat became a popular feminine fashion accessory.[20] 2007-2008 saw a strong increase in the basic elements of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Many store owners began to influence the green movement, as well as did the celebrities. Light pinks mixed with duller colors such as grey, and mauve is popular in the winter and fall seasons. In spring and summer lines some designers featured light weave cloths with beading, along with cork wedge shoes which were usually used as well. In late 2008, more 1940s, 1950s, 1980s, and 1990s style fashions are starting to come in. Deck shoes, specifically the Sperry Top-Sider brand, become popular with teenagers and college students in the spring of 2007 and have remained popular into 2009. For a quick period of time during the spring of 2008 Gladiator inspired sandals, and long dresses that flowed free from a small cut for the breast area became very popular, suggesting a roman/Greek inspired look which was also an on and off trend for the 60s. Many light floral patterns were used for young girls. Baseball caps, particulary flat billed designs by New Era, are popular for casual wear among teenagers. Once confined to the gangsta subculture, these caps are now popular among many different groups and have become more mainstream. Hair and Makeup Style of the 2000s Women's hair is long and straight. Later in the decade retro hairstyles like the bob cut and beehive (a trademark of pop singer Amy Winehouse) came back into fashion.[23] In the late 2000s the crop became acceptable after celebrities like Stine Bramsen, Victoria Beckham and Natalie Portman had their hair cut short.[24] Late 2008 in the U.S. saw the return of thicker long hair seen in the early to mid-90's. This will continue on with higher intensity in 2009. Many women either wear hair down to the upper shoulders with curls or long thick hair with curls. Mens hairstyles are influenced by the 1940s, 1950s and 1990s: the pompadour[25] (worn by Mexicans and Italian-Americans then popularised by celebrities like Christian Bale)[26] and the buzzcut, a haircut associated with 90s grunge.[27] Perms come back in 2009. A popular haircut for Teenage boys is the Wings.[28] It can range from very long to a Beatles Haircut. The haircut is typically wavy and, if straight, the length comes to halfway down the ears. Instead of lying on the wearer's ears, the hair flips up and comes straight out like an airplane wing, hence the name. This hairstyle is also known as "flippies" and was popularised by skateboarders. Longer styles are coming into acceptance for younger males, whether loose or in a ponytail. The latter is preferred in the workplace as hair below the eyes may be unacceptable for some employers. In Europe spiked hair, sometimes bleached blond, is often seen on metrosexual men.[29] Styles like the French Crop and crew cut are popular with chavs and the fauxhawk made a comeback in Britain and the US thanks to David Beckham.[30] Beards, mustaches, and the goatee are worn by many men following the success of Movember fundraising for prostate cancer charities.[31] |
