Early 2000s looks that look dated

There's so much shimmery makeup still in stores there must be a demand.

Well, I for one loved low-rise jeans, and I hope they return.

I used to wear my low-rise boot cut jeans with a tank top underneath, strategically pushed so that just a little "accidental" slice of tummy showed. I would wear a blazer on top sometimes too, with boots.

But I remember how one of the moms for whom I babysat used to wear the same low-rise jeans, but with a nice belt (remember those with low-rise jeans?) and a more substantial shirt that didn't show her belly. She was slim and in great shape, and the low-rise under a fitted longer shirt just made her look sleek. She was in her early 40s, and she looked so fresh and chic; I remember thinking that it might be OK to get older if I could be like her. Anyway, that's the way I'll wear my low-rise means if they come back in style.

I'm short and in good shape, but low-rise jeans elongated my torso. I hate skinny jeans and have been living in dresses since they came into style. It is time for them to go.

Low rise jeans fit and flatter me best so I will keep wearing them.

I don't recognize OP's list at ALL. There are some things from the early 2000s I'm not wearing now:

There's a particular shade of dark green that looks *very* dated
Square toed shoes
Dresses over bootcut jeans*
Crop tops**
Pacifier necklaces
Smiley face sweatshirts

*I'm riffing on this with tunic dresses over skinny jeans, tho
**Because of secret reasons

Agree. This high waisted sh*t is flattering on like two people. If you think you’re one of them, you’re kidding yourself. Your butt actually looks like two long John donut pastries.

+1 people in DC offering fashion advise to anyone is a joke.

Hunker down. It’s going to be bad. On the bright side, could this trend also end up wiping out mom jeans?

Yup no one was wearing leggings in the early 2000s.

Choker necklaces
Billabong hoodies
JNCO jeans
White sneakers with jeans
White eyeliner on the top lid - maybe this was more late 90s

Square toed shoes were insanely comfortable. I wouldn’t mind seeing those come back in style.

What I remember from mid 2000s was older and professional women showing their breasts. Very low cut styles with a LOT showing even on women in their 50s and 60s. Skyler in Breaking Bad wore that style in her office job. But so did many other women. Strange look for day and office to me
