The 2000s saw a variety of means to clothing scarves (they were popular accessories), and then it's no surprise that the scarf headband was prevalent. This wait is more comfortable than wearing a plastic or metal headband, and it's a whimsical way to go on hair flyaway-free.

Actually, headbands in general.

From scarves to sophisticated, beaded bands, hair accessories from the 2000s were the best.

The side bun

Consummate with wispy flyaways, the side bun was truly a staple of the new millennium. This elegant hairstyle was Taylor Swift'due south signature hairdo for many years on the red rug, and we call back it's one of the all-time trends from the '00s.

Embroidered denim

This await pairs perfectly with a trusty pair of sneakers.

Denim pieces clad with appliqués, studs, and other embellishments were wardrobe staples during the '00s. Today, embroidery on jean skirts, jackets and pants serves as a nod to the past and a memorable, one-of-a-kind detail.

Denim vests

Actress Joy Bryant in 2006 and actress Sienna Miller in 2005.

Worn purely for the appearance (non the warmth) of the added layer, the denim vest was a large 2000s vibe. With the right summer dress or simple shirt underneath, the vest was an easy way to serve up a chichi look.

Overalls

Actress Dania Ramirez in 2005 and actress Zoe Saldana in 2009.

Overalls were the original form of the now-popular jumpsuit. Whether your favorite pair were corduroy or denim, overalls were a wardrobe essential in the '90s and 2000s, and they'd fit correct in with the current craze for i-slice garments.

Ponchos

The poncho is like an elevated coating, but less bulky and more shirt-like (except for the fact that it doesn't have sleeves). Ponchos were, without a doubt, a 2000s mood, but they're a trend we wouldn't be likewise mad nigh if revived.

Halter-style tops and dresses

The halter silhouette is one of many that has transcended decades — think Marilyn Monroe'south circa-1950s white halter dress — and especially during the 2000s, the look was a pop choice on the scarlet rug and rails alike. The effortless halter style is one nosotros just won't go tired of seeing and wearing.

Necklaces and bracelets adorned with shells were all the rage during the 2000s. These accessories may exist on the literal side of the beachy spectrum, only every bit a summertime wait, we're here for information technology.

Kitten heels

Thank you, '00s, for bringing us tiny purses and tiny heels.

Locket necklaces

In the 2000s, having a locket necklace was the equivalent of having a "secret" place to stash a photo of our best friend or childhood pet. The locket just might be the jewelry item we didn't know we needed in our current collection.

The casual blazer

How could nosotros forget this iconic look? Stars of the 2000s proved the blazer isn't but for the boardroom, but can as well clothes up even the near casual t-shirt or blouse.

The t-shirt and blazer combination is great on everyone, really.

Puffy coats

Peacoats

The 2000s also saw a much less, well... puffy form of outerwear. Peacoats were a staple slice for professionals and celebrities alike in the 2000s. The trench coat silhouette remains a versatile, practical wardrobe piece we wouldn't exist aback to move to the front of our closet.

Coral everything

This cheery color was everywhere in the '00s, from nails to lipsticks and red carpet ensembles. Though it has arguably been replaced with millennial pink, we wouldn't mind seeing a resurgence of the bold, always-flattering hue.

Fringe

From jeans to handbags and even hair, the 2000s seemed to be marked by fringed styles. The playful texture is one tendency from the decade of neon and nylon that deserves to make a return.
