Few outfit combos were more popular than a distressed denim miniskirt with two layered Lacoste or Le Tigre polos in contrasting shades. As for those infamous Ed Hardy tees, you always needed a trucker hat to complete the look.
Feeling nostalgic enough yet? While the head-to-toe looks worn back then may feel somewhat outdated now, many of these labels are experiencing a modern renaissance as younger generations look to repurpose vintage pieces from the decade.
Juicy Couture, in particular, has recently announced collaborations with Urban Outfitters and Ganni, revamping its iconic tracksuits with new finishes, but in keeping with the same classic silhouettes. Kangol bucket hats are also having a moment again, thanks to BTS, who wore them in the “Dynamite” music video. Who knows, maybe the next early aughts accessory they’ll resurrect will be a Von Dutch trucker hat?
