Noughties but nice...
darted back to an era dear to my heart – the Noughties!” says celebrity stylist Gemma Sheppard. “And it’s all thanks to Gen Z digging up key fashion trends from yesteryear, on platforms such as TikTok.”
These are some of the key Noughties-inspired trends to get on board with...
“After the neutrals of winter, bright colours from the 2000s are back – think rich, bejewelled colours and pops of neon,” says Gemma. “To stop you looking like you’ve been at an all-night rave, sport neons like a sunset – not like a glow stick.”
She says hot orange complements many skin tones, and the modern way to wear it is head-to-toe – be it as a trouser suit or a maxi dress.
To tone the look down a bit, “just add monochrome accessories”.
Alexis says: “Kim
Kardashian can’t get enough of these sporty wraparound sunglasses, and not only as a day look – but for date nights with Pete [Davidson, Kim’s latest beau] too.
“Whether your budget is Balenciaga or Boohoo, there are plenty of ways to rock the trend.”
Gemma says mini skirts were a big feature of the spring/ summer fashion shows. “Skirt lengths were coming up
(and up!) and waistlines were going down, down, down,” she says.
DJ and celebrity stylist
Alexis Knox agrees, saying: “Miu Miu and Saint Laurent have a lot to answer for... Mini skirts the size of wide belts are back.”
If baring all that skin is not on your to-do list, Alexis suggests micro-minis work brilliantly with block black tights.
“Team with a cardigan and you’ve got yourself an all-season look,” she says. Or wear “with knee high boots, a crisp white shirt and an oversized blazer for a sexy take on a preppy look”.
Thanks to the reboot And Just Like That..., the Sex And The City aesthetic is very of the moment.
Gemma says: “Carrie Bradshaw’s bag of choice was never a sensible all-carrying tote, but a micro purse. Think Fendi baguettes or the Louis Vuitton Multicolore pochette - and the small bag is definitely back this season.
“Unfortunately, you may only be able to fit in a credit card, lipstick and your front door key, but at least you won’t unearth a Melody Pop (remember those?) when rummaging in your oversized tote for an errant pen.”
