The 2000s was one of the most iconic decades for fashion and pop culture. Trends like capris, Abercrombie-branded tees, and low-rise jeans defined this era as a cringe-worthy time in fashion. Some pieces, like tiny bags, strappy sandals and tube tops have only grown in popularity ten years later. Love it or hate it, Y2K fashion has a nostalgia that is unrivaled by any other era of pop culture. This is why fashion girls continue to look back at the looks of Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and other it-girls. Some of the best places to look for 2000s outfit inspiration are your favorite movies.Â
