25 Horrific Fashion Trends From The 2000s We All Wish We Could Forget

#1 Von Dutch hats.

Oh, trucker hats...

#2 Popcorn shirts.

guess there's something magical about this 2001 item's stretchy one-size-fits-all properties, a year we all could have used a little magic.

#3 Livestrong bracelets.

Somehow, a fundraising idea inspired by Lance Armstrong's testicular cancer became an insanely popular ‘jewelry' trend. He blinded us to their ugly just as he blinded us to his doping.

#4 Rhinestones. Everywhere.

Even phones. Especially phones! The wealthy rhinestoned them because they were wealthy, the non-wealthy did it to appear wealthy...it was a confusing time all around.

#5 Layering tank tops

I remember doing this, and I have no recollection as to why.

#6 Dresses over jeans.

It's almost impossible to believe this looked cool. But this looked cool.

#7 Multiple popped collars.

Thanks a lot, POLO.

#8 Shutter shades.

Thanks a lot, KANYE

#9 Asymmetrical striped skirts.

Why were they always striped?

#10 Shoulder shrugs.

If there was an award for least practical item of clothing, these would surely win.

#11 Gaucho pants.

*crying*

#12 Drawing on your jeans.

I blocked this from my memory, but it's all coming back to me now...

#13 Peasant tops.

When I think of Mandy Moore, I think of peasant tops. Both came and went in the same time frame; ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

#14 Camo everything.

Also Avril Lavigne everything.

#15 Cargo pants.

People argue that fashion is cyclical, but if cargo pants ever become trendy again I'm seceding from society.

#16 Ed Hardy.

Back in Kim's Paris-Hilton-Assistant days.

#17 Low rise jeans with exposed thong.

I want every girl who ever did this to take a minute and thank the Universe for not coinciding the "whale tail" trend with the iPhone.

#18 Shiny clothes.

Especially Kimono-inspired shiny clothes.

#19 Halter tops with attached ring-necklaces.

Imagine trying to explain this to kids nowadays?

#20 Chunky highlights.

:'(

#21 Juicy Couture velour jumpsuits.

Frankly, it's a mystery the entire Juicy Couture brand didn't die out with this trend.

#22 Puka shell necklaces

Puka shell necklaces.

#23 Boho everything.

Idk.

#24 Everything about this.

#25 Also everything about this.
