everybody 21 and under rn is like “omg y2k!!! early 2000s fashion!!” but will not TOUCH a pair of low-rise coochie jeans…………….cowards im telling u right now if u were caught dead wearing high waisted ANYTHING in 2002 u would be shoved into a LOCKER and called slurs by a bitch named Hannah with a belly button ring and a whale-tail thong. commit or sit
WHY are you only considered a valid fashion historian if you only research fashion before the 70s….fuck you im 2000s fashion historian and all of you y2k cyber bitches with mink lashes are incorrect first of all take off your eyebrows and be humble . put your eyeshadow on wiht a fucking sponge
This is not an exaggeration… fuck you if you wanted pants that didn’t show your pubic zone. So you had to be completely hairless. Did not matter wether you were size 0 or size 20. Your entire ass and belly were required to hangout. And you couldn’t buy a long waisted shirt for like an entire decade. That’s why we started wearing dresses over pants. Fashion was cruel for anyone who wasn’t rail thin in the early aughts. I had to start wearing men’s clothes just to not to be miserable.
This is all true. also like…. we used put on makeup so stupidly. All your makeup was from the local drugstore; nobody went to Sephora or could afford “high end” stuff like MAC unless you were that bitch Hannah with the belly button ring. No brushes unless you count these dollar store little plastic nub applicator things with the white triangle tip that came with every eyeshadow or lip set you got from claires.
But yeah all the pants were as low as you can go and every fucking t shirt had a butterfly or empire-waist and peasant shirt nonsense. If it didn’t have a butterfly, it instead said Angel or Princess in rhinestones.
Also can we talk about LAYERS? whyyy was everything layered like this, especially those dumb shrugs that were a tiny useless piece of cloth that covered nothing but your shoulders.
Can’t forget about those juicy track suits either
And the notes talking about frosty eyeshadow and craft glitter everywhere is no joke. All of this shit could be bought at your local DEB or Gap and every look was layers upon layers of DISASTER.
And nobody was wearing ANYTHING high-waisted
oh the glory days
Look at Britney walking on her pants. All our pants were that length. Everyone’s jeans were frayed at the hem from being stepped on all the time. If you went out in the rain or even post-rain water would wick right up to your knees.
all of the above is painfully true. i worked at a grocery store in this time period and everyone, i mean everyone, kept getting in trouble with The Bosses bc as we were crouched over stocking shelves, our ass cracks would be right out there. and it was impossible to find women’s jeans that would prevent this! the waist was always so low that even if you tucked your shirt in, it would pop out as soon as you bent over. i literally started buying oversized men’s pants and TAILORING them to fit me so i could have a higher waistband…fuck this era of “fashion” it should be erased.
