2000s in fashion

none April 2024 thumb|Young women in Portugal with straightened hair and thick makeup in 2007 The fashion in the 2000s were often described as a global mash up, where trends saw the fusion of vintage styles, global and ethnic clothing (e.g. boho), as well as the fashions of numerous music-based subcultures. Hip-hop fashion generally was the most popular among young people of both sexes, followed by the retro-inspired indie look later in the decade. Celebrities had a huge impact on 2000s fashion, people like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Beyoncé inspired many of the decade's trends and styles to follow and “hop on”. Men and women aged 25 and older adopted a dressy casual style which was popular throughout the decade. Globalization also influenced the decade's clothing trends, with the incorporation of Middle Eastern and Asian dress into mainstream European, American, and Australasian fashion.Rindfuss Bryan http://www.sacurrent.com/arts/story.asp?id=70804 Arts: What ought to wear San Antionio Current 30 December 2009 30 November 2011 9 August 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110809175621/http://www2.sacurrent.com/arts/story.asp?id=70804 dead Furthermore, eco-friendly and ethical clothing, such as recycled fashions, were prominent in the decade. In the early 2000s, many mid and late 1990s fashions remained fashionable around the globe, while simultaneously introducing newer trends. The later years of the decade saw a large-scale revival of clothing designs, primarily from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. General trends The rise of fast fashion Fast fashion The early to mid-2000s saw a rise in the consumption of fast fashion: affordable off-the-peg high street clothing based on the latest high fashion designs. With its low-cost appeal driven by trends straight off the runway, fast fashion was a significant factor in the fashion industry's growth. As affordable clothing became even more important in the entrance to the new age, brands started to develop strategies to keep up with consumers' new spending habits.Idacavage Sara Fashion History Lesson: The Origins of Fast Fashion http://fashionista.com/2016/06/what-is-fast-fashion Fashionista 9 May 2017 8 June 2016 In 1999, department stores in the US such as Macy's, J.C. Penney, Kohl's and more had sales totaling $230 billion. In the years that followed, that number began to fall. By the early 2000s, the rise of online retail and in-store fast fashion caused department store sales to dwindle as retailers offered new styles quicker than ever before.Wahba Phil Can America's Department Stores Survive? http://fortune.com/2017/02/21/department-stores-future-macys-sears/ Fortune 9 May 2017 21 February 2017 Retail giants of the new millennium included H&M, Forever 21, and Zara.

Ethics The ethics of fast fashion has been the topic of numerous debates and questioning of business practices. Producing fashion at such fast rates involves less secure working conditions/or wages. It also involves a lot of waste. Americans throw out 14 million tons of clothing a year, with the help of fast fashion.Wicker Alden Fast Fashion is Creating an Environmental Crisis http://www.newsweek.com/2016/09/09/old-clothes-fashion-waste-crisis-494824.html Newsweek 1 September 2016 Retailers like Forever 21 and H&M have come under fire, not only for their wasteful fast fashion practices that have grown steadily since the beginning of 2000 but for the involvement of cheap labor. The appeal of fast fashion lies in the copying of higher-end brands; however, after something is no longer trendy it is on to the next, leaving clothes to go to waste, and workers to continue to live on unlivable wages.Chau Lisa The Wasteful Culture of Forever 21, H&M, and 'Fast Fashion' https://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/economic-intelligence/2012/09/21/the-wasteful-culture-of-forever-21-hm-and-fast-fashion US News 9 May 2017 21 September 2012 The logo purse At the same time that fast fashion became able to supply vast quantities of imitation luxury goods, Western income inequalities had risen steadily.U.S. household income distribution, by Gini-coefficient 2020 https://www.statista.com/statistics/219643/gini-coefficient-for-us-individuals-families-and-households/ 2022-02-10 Statista enFrancis-Devine Brigid 2022-10-02 Income inequality in the Knurl=https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-7484/ House of Commons Library en-GBhttps://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.POV.GINI 2022-02-10 data.worldbank.org To create an image of belonging to a higher income group, people sought real or copied branded "high fashion" items.Lowe Elizabeth D. The United States and Canada Class 2010 9781847888525 3 233–239 en 10.2752/bewdf/edch3032 In haute couture, designers were becoming increasingly inspired by pop culture and street style. These designs could succeed in high fashion because some top percentile earners wanted to present as being less wealthy to communicate "street cred" or equality ideals. In addition, designer street style enabled the few social climbers that did exist (such as in the entertainment industry), to show that they valued their roots. The tensions of income inequalities and fast fashion therefore led to the blending of street style and haute couture. The designer's logo was seen boldly printed on all types of clothing, particularly items that needed to be replaced less often, such as purses or sunglasses. A logoed purse was a visual unifier, worn by celebrities, models and "middle class" shoppers (who, because of growing income inequalities, earned increasingly less than habitual haute couture customers). Thanks to outlet stores and plentiful supplies of fast fashion "knockoffs", a logoed purse became available to everyone. For the majority of shoppers, a branded purse was a form of escapism; a unifying factor that let people forget how much money they made, and present themselves as being more financially well-off. Vintage clothing As the decade went on, it became increasingly popular in the UK and America to mix designer and fast fashion clothing. In response, vintage and thrifted clothing asserted itself, growing in popularity after the 2008/9 recession.The Rise of Vintage Fashion and the Vintage Consumer https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263469162 2022-02-10 ResearchGate en Women's fashion Early 2000s (2000–2002) thumb|upright|Aaliyah wearing a bandana and hoop earrings in 2000 Y2K fashion American, British and Western European Fashion in the 2000s was profoundly influenced by technology.

Jeans became acceptable in every situation, from the supermarket to the red carpet.http://www.oyetimes.com/lifestyle/fashion/37080-from-uggs-to-y2k-what-the-00s-meant-to-us From Uggs To Y2K, What The '00s Meant To Us Oye!

The sense of unity in the country because all kinds of people were buying the same brands and sporting the same American companies furthermore established corporate logos as a form of stability and comfort in fashion. Possibly in reaction to the streamlined, futuristic, outer space-themed Y2K styles of 2000, distressed denim became popular in America from 2001 to 2008. Pants became lower-waisted and significantly more flared than they were previously, and often featured elaborate embroidery rather than the utilitarian, no-frills style of before. In the UK, it was popular for women to wear skirts over trousers, floral print shift dresses, and colors like black, purple and pink. Big, chunky shoes and chunky sandals were popular, with thick wedge heels and imitation leather straps decorated with floral embroidery,October 2017 while previously successful sneaker brands like Skechers declined in popularity. First-wave 1980s revival Although the 1980s fashion revival wasn't in full swing until 2001, the first movement started in the late 1990s and continued into the early 2000s. This first wave primarily focused on the early 1980s. Such trends that emerged during this period included denim miniskirts, ripped "distressed" jeans, denim jackets, tracksuits, trench coats (often in pleather), puffy jackets (revived by Hip-Hop artists), and preppy polo shirts with popped collars. These remained popular until about 2008 when the revival of later 1980s fashions occurred. European and American women and girls wore low-top sneakers such as Skechers, Heelys, Adidas shoes, Reebok shoes, and Nike, as well as knee-high boots with spiked heels and pointed toes (or conversely, thick low heels and round or square toes). Popular accessories of the early 2000s include white belts, aviator sunglasses, trucker hats, hoop earrings, block heeled mary janes, leg warmers (worn with mini skirts),http://www.fashionencyclopedia.com/fashion_costume_culture/Modern-World-1980-2003/Leg-Warmers.html Leg Warmers 7 July 2014 ugg boots, flip-flops, jelly shoes,Booth Moore Jammin' jellies Los Angeles Times 30 May 2003 https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-may-30-et-moore30-story.html lace-up sandals, newsboy caps, ponchos, and jelly bracelets.Mikkelson Barbara 2003-11-14 Sex Bracelets https://www.snopes.com//fact-check/sex-bracelets/ 2024-02-23 Snopes en Sex and the City The American television series Sex and the City impacted how women cared about fashion and how they shopped.

Hair lengths varied from below the earlobes at the shortest to just below the shoulders at the longest.http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip564.htm Top Hair Trends For 2000 15 August 2014 From 1995 until 2008 highlights and lowlights made of blonde, red, and light brown went mainstream. In 2000, highlights were soft and subtle for a sun-kissed look. In 2002 bold and unblended highlights called "chunky highlights" burst onto the scene. This trend was kickstarted by Kelly Clarkson during her time on American Idol, lasting until 2006.http://www.bellasugar.com/Beauty-Trends-2000s-6684357#photo-6712386 Beauty Trends of the 2000s 10 April 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140413171531/http://www.bellasugar.com/Beauty-Trends-2000s-6684357#photo-6712386 13 April 2014 dead The early 2000s also continued the Farrah Fawcett hairstyle revival of the late 1990s.http://www.fashionencyclopedia.com/fashion_costume_culture/Modern-World-Part-II-1961-1979/Farrah-Fawcett-Look.html Farrah Fawcett Look 17 September 2014 Crimped hair was popular in the early and mid-2000s. For black women, cornrows, dreadlocks and curly weaves were popular until the late 2000s, when toned-down versions of the Afro, Jheri curl and short pixie cuts were popularized by artists like Janet Jackson and Rihanna. Another popular hairstyle throughout the decade was the braid, rejuvenated by the likes of Alicia Keys and Lauren Conrad. Throughout the early and middle years braids and plaits would often be meticulously put in intricate patterns and would purposely be styled as a way to blend in better with women's clothing styles. In the mid-2000s, many women favored the bob haircut, as well as its longer version, the long bob or "the lob". By the late 00's, it became unfashionable to center-part one's hair, and the side-swept Bangs of the 1980s made a comeback. In the late 2000s, dark haired women (and even light-haired ones) favored the jet black hair, as worn by Katy Perry or Amy Winehouse with her trademark beehive hairstyle. Textured hair with volume, natural wavy hair, and the bob cut became popular from 2007, even though from the mid-2000s, it continued onwards in both Britain and the USA. In 2009, many women sought to imitate the hairstyle Kate Gosselin had that year, briefly bringing back blended highlights into the mainstream. This look ended up only being a fad. Other popular late 2000s trends included Headbands, headwraps and Scrunchies, side ponytails, and braiding on one side of the head. Men For European men aged 25–40, shorter hair styles that usually took the form of a quiff were fashionable in the early 2000s, as well as spiked hair and fauxhawks for men aged 18–30. Dark-haired young British men often had dyed-blonde weaves and streaks until the late 2000s when a natural hair color became the norm again.https://www.complex.com/style/best-fashion-trends-of-early-2000s/ The 25 Best Fashion Trends of the Early 2000sRapper Clothing Brands Complex 29 July 2022 A common haircut among American men and boys was the frosted spiky hair popularized by boybands and pop punk bands from 1997 through 2004, 2005–2008. Long, shaggy Mod or surfer hair became popular among many young men between 2003 and 2006 in the UK as many bands moved away from punk rock and rap metal in favor of a 1960s inspired indie or garage rock sound pioneered by groups like The Strokes, Jet, The Killers, The Hives, The Vines, Coldplay, and The White Stripes. These hairstyles gradually replaced the shaggy, grown out curtained hair popular since the late 1990s among American celebrities like Tom Cruise, Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World, Alex Band, Jason Wade, Mehmet Okur and Hanno Möttölä. By the late 2000s, many young British men opted for a clean-cut 1950s inspired hairstyle, kept in place with pomade.https://www.askmen.com/grooming/appearance/ Appearance AskMen Shaved and bald hairstyles along with beards, moustaches, stubble, sideburns, and the goatee became popular in Europe and North America in reaction to the effeminate early and mid-2000s metrosexual look, with charitable events like Movember further increasing their acceptability.Marksimpson.com 'Here come the mirror men' by Mark Simpson – first usage of the word 'metrosexual' http://www.marksimpson.com/pages/journalism/mirror_men.html https://web.archive.org/web/20070119202843/http://www.marksimpson.com/pages/journalism/mirror_men.html 19 January 2007 18 October 2008 Children and teenagers thumb|right|160px|Swedish teenagers wearing typical late 2000s male hairstyles, 2008 thumb|right|160px|Wings haircut worn by singer Justin Bieber in 2009. For boys, short haircuts such as the quiff, the buzzcut, curtains, crew cut, and Caesar cut were popular in the early 2000s till mid 2000s. Girls favored straight hair extensions and chunky highlights. It also became fashionable to sport curly hair with a "zig-zag" side parting and blended highlights around 2002-2005.http://www.beautifulhairstyles.com/2002/ 2002 Hair – Beautiful Hairstyles 5 September 2014 Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, butterfly hair clips and crimped hair became extremely popular for preteens and teenage girls. In the mid-2000s, longer hair on teenage boys became popular in the UK and America, including the wings haircut, influenced by the 1960s Mod subculture, and British indie pop stars.http://www.hair-style-salon.org/notable-hairstyles/wings-haircut.htm skater Haircut Retrieved 2008-10-18 Hair-style-salon.org 30 November 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20111214032445/http://www.hair-style-salon.org/notable-hairstyles/wings-haircut.htm 14 December 2011 dead Hairstyles among teenage girls experienced little change, being largely the same as they were in the early 2000s. Curly hair became less popular in Britain, while straight hair grew more dominant. Highlights remained popular, as well as extensions. Hair was often tied into a ponytail and incorporated long bangs or a fringe. In 2009, the androgynous Harajuku inspired scene hairstyles (often dyed bright colors) and eyeliner were popular among girls and boys alike: first in Japan, and later in the US and Europe.Metropolis – Tokyo feature stories: Face to face with Harajuku – Pictures of Japanese youth http://metropolis.co.jp/tokyofeaturestoriesarchive299/252/tokyofeaturestoriesinc.htm Metropolis.co.jp 2008-10-18 https://web.archive.org/web/20061124111331/http://metropolis.co.jp/tokyofeaturestoriesarchive299/252/tokyofeaturestoriesinc.htm 24 November 2006 As an alternative to the scene hairstyles, many teenage girls in the US and Australasia opted for a preppy hairstyle that involved long, straight hair, side-swept and regular bangs and a side part, while boys wore basic skater hair.https://www.askmen.com/top_10/sports/ Top 10 Sports AskMen 17 September 2019 20 June 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200620042557/https://www.askmen.com/top_10/sports/ dead Many girls wore headbands, headwraps and 80s inspired scrunchies with either a side ponytail or french braid falling over one shoulder. In between 2006 and 2008, Middle Eastern teenage boys in Australia, namely those of Lebanese descent, acquired the high and tight haircut. Some had the cut with a mullet. Makeup and cosmetic trends The year 2000, was based on the glittery Y2K inspired makeup of the late 1990s. With the turn of the millennium, the idea was for women to capture a futuristic, space-age style, with makeup including bronze specks for a metallic shine with ecstatic colors. An alternative for those who did not like metallics was a purple and brown color scheme.http://www.cbsnews.com/news/make-up-for-the-year-2000/ Make-Up For The Year 2000 25 July 2014 CBS News 8 June 1999 Lip gloss was more popular than lipstick among both women and girls. By the spring/summer season of 2001, this look took a backseat in favor of a more low-maintenance, natural style that showed off ones features. However, the glittery looks continued to be popular.http://www.longisland.com/articles/05-31-01/cosmeticmallcoms-summer-beauty-trends-2001.html COSMETICMALL.COM's SUMMER BEAUTY TRENDS 2001 26 July 2014 In 2002, mineral makeup broke into the mainstream with Bare Minerals, a product of Bare Escentuals. This fueled the trend for natural looking makeup, and became the standard of the 2000s. By 2004, the glittery looks had disappeared. By around 2005/06, retro-styled makeup from the 1940s had made a comeback, such as bright red lips and cat eyes. In the mid and late 2000s, lip gloss remained popular, and the "Smoky Eye" emerged, with more emphasis on eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow. Another emerging trend was a more natural "less is more" approach to makeup around the same time.http://beauty.about.com/od/makeuptrickstips/a/beautrend.htm Trends in the Beauty Industry Over the Past 10 Years 26 July 2014 30 July 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140730012300/http://beauty.about.com/od/makeuptrickstips/a/beautrend.htm dead Also around the second half of the decade, there was an increasing amount of emphasis on the perfection of complexions, with illuminators and shimmer products becoming must-have items. In the late 2000s, there was a craze for fake eyelashes, started by Lady Gaga. This resulted in lash tinting, lash extensions, and fake lashes. Makeup styles generally became simpler and more individualistic with the rise of How-to YouTube videos. Body care and grooming The year 2000 featured natural-colored skin as the most desirable, and did not feature many body care trends other than the rise of hair removal, teeth whitening, and anti-aging creams. In the summer of 2001, the sunless tanning trend broke into the mainstream for all genders, prompted by Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera. This included both self-tanners and spray tans. Cosmetic contacts also became more widespread among all genders this year. In 2002, botox was approved for public use and became hugely popular with women and men. By 2009, fake tanning had gone out of style in favor a pale complexion, inspired by the Twilight film. The 2000s, continued the unisex trend of bikini waxing which had started in the 1990s. Although waxing in general had been popular among women for several years, it was in the 1990s that complete male body hair removal went mainstream.http://www.waxing.net/waxing-for-men.html Waxing For Men 26 July 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20120310114042/http://www.waxing.net/waxing-for-men.html 10 March 2012 dead Being considered suggestive and indecent in the 90s, male waxing became ubiquitous as a result of the metrosexual trend in the early and mid-2000s. Also during this time, it was popular to have a completely clean-shaven face, as if to make one look underage. Male hair removal declined in the late 2000s. Tattoos and piercings thumb|right|130px|Navel piercings were popular from 1995 all the way to 2007/2008.
