With the Nelly vs Luda Verzuz battle quickly approaching, we could not help but reminiscence on the iconic looks that graced our screens (and our wardrobes) during the 2000s! From waiting for your favorite music video to come on 106 & Park (if it made it into the countdown) to clipping photos from magazines, the 2000s were a time full of fashion inspiration. And continues to be to this. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane.
Lil Kim rocked the runways, magazine covers, and especially awards shows! Her looks are still recreated and idolized to this day!
Every girl clique wanted to be like Destiny’s Child’s with their coordinating (but not matching) outfits.
Tracksuits, tracksuits everywhere.
Admit it – at some point in life, you pulled a Nelly and slapped a bandaid over and imaginary cut on your face.
Speaking of Nelly, we are here to honor the original Air Force One’s trendsetter!
Your outfit wasn’t complete without a bucket hat. Bonus points if it coordinated with your whole look.
Tinted sunglasses in every color, geometric shape, and size were a must-have to complete any outfit.
Pointed toe boots, no matter how uncomfortable they were, became a staple in 2000s wardrobes.
We couldn’t mention a pointed boot without remembering the iconic Timberland boots. What a time.
So much denim! At some point during the 2000s, there must’ve been a fabric shortage. Seas of denim scarred our eyes!
In the less is more era, shirts were made out of silk scarves or bandanas. You weren’t a real fashionista if you didn’t own a handkerchief top.
Hair accessories varied from girly butterfly bling to tomboy bandanas depending on the day.
Tomboys took their style to a whole new level when jersey dresses burst onto the scene.
Remember when corsets paired with jeans were all the rage?
Cargo pants with heels? Why the hell not?
