Fashion That Defines the '00s

By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 27th 2009 12:00PM

Fashion is constantly changing. Over this decade, we've seen wild women turn into stunning starlets and girls-next-door turn into rock-n-roll hipsters. The '60s had bell bottoms, the '80s had 'Flashdance'-style off-the-shoulder sweatshirts. But what fleeting trend will represent the past ten years in our memories? PopEater breaks down the top five trends of the decade, modeled by their biggest celeb supporters, and we want you to decide which one will reign supreme.

1. Hipster
Mixing the fringe movements of punk and grunge, hipsters have created a style based on defying style norms. Its key staple is the skinny jean. Yes, both men and women have been rocking the trend. If you've ever asked yourself, "How do they fit in such tiny pants?" you have witnessed the hipster trend.

Celebrity Trendsetters: Zooey Deschanel, Sam Ronson, Michelle Williams, Ashlee Simpson

2. Juicy Couture Tracksuits & UGG Boots
According to Wikipedia, Madonna is credited with turning the Juicy Couture velour tracksuit into a trend and turned the company into an instant success. The comfortable tracksuit combined chic, expensive style with comfort. It seemed harmless enough until words started appearing on the butts. And then it seemed like a day later, people were wearing the suits with UGG boots. A perfect fashion hit and miss?

Celebrity Trendsetters: The Kardashians, Pam Anderson, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Kate Hudson, Jessica Simpson

3. Boho
From what we can remember, The Olsen twins started the Bohemian Chic trend. The free-spirited, Hippie inspired style includes its well-known staples: large sunglasses, flowing skirts, boots and loose jumpers. They embarked on the trend in the early 2000s, and it has stayed strong throughout the decade.

Celebrity Trendsetters: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan

4. Pants Free Style
Perhaps this is just a recent revelation, but it seems like stars can't keep their pants on. While it's been a slow growing trend, Lady Gaga cemented this trend after she was photographed strutting around London shopping in only a nude body suit. And now with Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, Katy Perry all dancing around on stage sans pants, it's a crazy trend that leaves our knickers a little cold. We totally understand it gets hot on stage, but really?

Celebrity Trendsetters: Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Beyonce

5. Bare That Midriff
Skin is in... but only is small doses. Leaving little to the imagination, pop stars have been baring it all in short tops and even shorter Daisy Duke shorts. This decade, flaunting one's midriff was all the rage (and usually quickly followed with an outrageous belly ring.) Whether you had six-pack abs or not, everyone let it all hang out. It seemed okay until our younger siblings and cousins (in 4th or 5th grade) started running around in tube tops mimicking Britney Spears' and Christina Aguilera's every move.

Celebrity Trendsetters: Britney Spears, Brooke Hogan, Kat Von D, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera

I think a lot of people answered skinny jeans because that is the most recent. I think it would definately be bare midriff. Think of Britney Spears, Christina Aguleria in the early 2000's. It seems to me that people always assume that was the 90's, but it wasn't.

The fashion moment simply has to be the bare midriff which gave rise to the dreaded (and disgusting!) "muffin-top" - please stop the madness!

I love it when FAT people wear low riders with midriff shirts.Do they not own a mirror?Sometimes I gasp out loud and I know they hear me.I agree with Instantkarma,STOP THE MADNESS.

Well I would honestly say the whole pantsless fashion is just a fashion that has always been on stage. Rihanna brought it back into mainstream music before Lady Gaga was even known. Yes I know Madonna was still doing this onstage, but no one wanted to seem to follow her on that. Beyonce copycatted that as she usually does. Then boom! Every other female wants to go pantsless on stage. Then there was Lady Gaga that came on the scene with it that was just took it to a whole other level especially with her walking around the city in nothing but her leotards. Yeah, she did it in England, Los Angeles and in Las Vegas, everyone already pretty much does it. She tried to pull that stunt in Chicago and they were like "Hell No!". But it's safe to say that she will be the only female walking around in leotards. Her and Pamela Anderson and I think that says a lot right there given Lady Gaga's name (and no it's not a persona as she claimed) and Pamela Anderson's state of mind period.
