What we won't be talking are the jeweled word tees and lower than low jeans. Instead, let's focus on the trends with such staying power, they either have resurfaced in a more contemporary version or never really went anywhere.
Trends with Staying Power:
Cargo Pants- With a tapered leg and slouchy top, these cargos are a far cry from the 00s version
Mini Skirts- Unlike the micro denim minis that ruled this decade, this mini is suede or leather and is more business than pleasure
Boyfriend Blazers- Blazers just aren't going anywhere, ever
Destroyed Denim- Neither are these. But what is are the super low, thong showing versions of a decade ago. This rise is mid to high and is a grown tapered version.
Sky High Wedges- Monochrome wedges are the comfy step between high heel and full on flat. Yeah, definitely staying around.
Mary Janes- Speaking of flats, the updated Mary Jane is a shoe with some 'tide. Pointed toe, super thin strap, and now in an unconventional color or pattern.
Cocktail Rings- Unlike last decade, most of us are old enough to actually have a cocktail now, and old enough to know not to wear these everywhere, all the time like we used to.
Slip On Sneakers- Once the trusted shoe of high school skaters, these shoes have gotten a chic makeover, using animal prints, embossed scales, and luxurious colors.
Trends that Returned:
Beaded Layer Bracelets- The updated bracelet is adorned with tiny charms and wore in bulk instead of alone like in years past.
Long Denim Skirts- This skirt suddenly got a major bath in cool. A curve hugging denim skirt can be dressed up or down with ease.
Gauchos- Not only for yoga anymore, these pants resemble more of trousers than the pants we all wore to the beach or to PE.
Striped Pants- Strategically thin black striped pants look less like Beetlejuice (or Robyn Thicke) and more instantly chic
Saucony- Rebounding is a major way, these sneakers have made a glorious return in monochrome coolness.
Bandanas- The hot trend of the moment. It's a headband. It's a scarf. It's a bracelet. It's a super cool and inexpensive way to rock the 00 trend.
Ponchos- Now called blanket coats, the poncho has become completely glamorous
Double Layer Tanks-Remember when everyone was wearing that really too sexy tank beneath a more approvable tank? Yeah, we don't do that anymore. Now we wear one seemingly like two, tank.
Here it is: 2000-2010- The Update
