"future would never comes if you don't end the past"

Early 2000's

Starting the millennium with the minimalist aesthetic of the late 1990s. Then Fashion begain to move away from it, round about 2003. So now just explore what happened on high street / high end fashion during the so-called "The 1990's 2000s"

Dark denim was popular in the first half of the decade. This trend hits its highest in 2004, but it made its comeback during the early 2008 which sure have reached higher points.
Mens Denim in the early part of the decade was dominated by wide straight leg styles, so called "The American Diesel Kind"
Womens Denim was generally fitted through the seat and thigh down to the knee, with the leg opening either boot-cut or flared, bit like the 80s kind, but not too wide. Low cut waists became increasingly popular during the late first half of the decade.

2. Dresses And Skirts
Formal dresses featured plunging necklines and backlines, straps made with shiny fabric was quite popular during the early 2000, also in bright colours too. until the Boho Fashion came about in 2003.

Simply the "hoodies and sweatpants" influenced many subcultures. Within hip hop clothing, baggy jeans, denim-jean jackets with matching jeans were popular, along with tracksuits (where Juicy Couture came round about) primarily made of fleece that matched top and bottom usually worn with a headband for men (O_O - HW). Bandanas were popular too from late 2000 to early 2002.

4. "Tough guys wear pink"
The craze hit young member of the hipster, preppy and British chav subculture during the mid-2000s, until round 2007, where its mainly replace by "Abercombie Guy" with vintage polo and straight loose jeans.

10. 2004/5
The year considered to be the year of the culmination of new and the abomination of the old.
The trends before 2004/5, like the Boho, dark denim went. with new ones, like Hedi Slimane, go skinny!!
white jeans came, acid-wash, distress denim. or "get a t-shirt and chop it up"
