What was Fashion in the 2010's?

[Maurice Caine]

I keep wondering to myself, what was the last decade's strong point in fashion? Besides the Reddit Bugman look, I don't see anything from then standing out in the future, unlike the atrocities of the 70s-80s.

I think the emo craze and their interest in thrift gave way to a renewed interest in traditional mens looks and workwear but with more modern fits.

You saw a real interest in stuff like pea coats, raw denim and boots. Men were starting to look like men again.

But the most iconic item of the second half of the 2010s are the diaper butted fuckboy joggers. They look dumb and no grown man should wear them for anything other than working out.

Women on the other hand seem all over the place. I shop at a grocery store next to a college and all the freshmen girls dress like it's 1985 down to the shredded stone washed jeans and Thrasher t-shirts.

Early 2010's was this ridiculous swag-fag look, that was like a weird hybrid of ghetto and emo. Kids had those huge snapback hats with the "OBEY" logo and they had saggy pants. They looked like ghetto thugs, only less menacing. This was big in like 2011-13 or so, then petered out by mid-decade. Then since 2014 or so the man-bun and homeless guy beard became the norm for Millennial men.

probably something gay like this

Maybe I'm just jaded and detached from society so I don't pay attention, but I feel like there's been way less cultural progress since the internet age started. Like, there's a light year's difference between popular music, trends, and styles from 1977-1991, but I can't say the same for 2007-2021.

yoga pants are also a 2010 staple

 

[LargeChoonger]

I honestly can't tell you. Everything before 2019 is a haze at this point

Which kind of developed into the athleisure trend. At least it's a step up from people wearing pajamas everywhere, but I KNOW YOU DON'T WORK OUT DEBBIE!

I legit didn't see a difference from the 00s except for scene clothing/hair dying out.
People still use skinny jeans 2 sizes too small, and joggers at their ankles.

Offtopic, I was expecting for the next big fad in metal following in the steps of hair metal, nu-metal, and metalcore to show up, and it never did. Rock is truly dead that even the suits at the record labels didn't find a genre to exploit this decade. The energy and youth are now enamored with hip hop, so rock instead languished in a limbo of sorts.
I felt fashion was the same way; limbo.

Here's a list of things I remember growing up during this era...

1. Classic Ugg boots
2. "I <3 Boobies!" bracelets
3. Silly Bandz
4. Boho-chic's comeback
5. Swag fags
6. Skinny jeans
7. Crop tops comeback
8. "Scene" fashion, wasn't really the same as "emo" like everyone is saying.
9. Flannel
10. "Tribal" fashion trends comeback
11. Leggings began their debut in the 2010s
12. "Millennial Pink" was the trendy pink shade

And this is more of personal opinion, but the 2010s was the general undoing of what "childhood" was supposed to be for young females. I distinctly remember feeling "out of place" when it came to the fashion. My mom did everything she could to find clothing that wasn't too tight, or too short, or a combination of the two. "Thrifting" became more trendy during this time, so that helped when it came to feeling comfortable and looking my age. The only girls who complained about school dress codes are the ones who are pissed that they couldn't just show up to school practically half naked.

- leggings
- high-waisted mom jeans
- dyed hair that purposely looks like the Manic Panic is fading and your roots are growing out
- eerily smooth faces on women from both drag queen makeup techniques and photo editing software

90's fashion started getting recycled around 2016

 

[The Last Stand]

Dyed hair, wearing memes, tight clothing, REVEALING clothing. Just all over the place.

women's ultimate crime by figuring out how to fully show their ass in public while also having an out by saying it's just pants

athleisure is generally good tho as long as its publically decent

The Matrix was the last significant original contribution to popular culture. That is because it's true: the world ended circa the year 2000 or so, and all subsequent popular culture and fashion was generated by the machines from pre-existing media. They weren't really programmed for creativity, and "what if that old comic book character had a movie with Jurassic Park special effects but way more elaborate" is basically the best kind of idea they can come up with.

don't get me wrong, Underarmour long sleeves in the summer has prevented many sunburns for me.

Looking ugly as sin. Girls with half their head shaved and the other half dyed some nauseating cotton candy color. Soyfags with their chunky Buddy Holly glasses and pube beards. Graphic tees of video game and cartoon characters that a kid would be embarrassed to wear, let alone an adult in their 30s. It was a sad time

A shirt and pants

I would say fashion from 2010 on was largely a hodgepodge of things that came before, rather than much in the way that was totally new.

But 2010 to 2014 was hipsters, then starting in 2015 and really becoming ubiquitous in 2016 was what I would call the Neo Punk or Hipster Punk look, the dyed hair, piercings etc, more and more women started trying to look purposely ugly and unappealing instead of cute and sexy, think the shaved on the side haircut, the ring through the nose like a damn pig, just ugly and nasty as a way to fight "muh patriarchy" I guess.

Men meanwhile started looking more and more emasculated and feminized while women became more butch, both resulting in people just looking like gross idiots instead of cool.

Oh and one thing I noticed was women's jeans went from being so low they showed the top of a girl's buttcrack in the 2000s to going up to their navels in the 2010s, which strikes me as a perfect example of how arbitrary fashion often is, like "well, we can't go any lower but it's a new decade so things have got to be different somehow, uhhhh, higher I guess?"

Also another thing I've noticed is nobody wears skirts anymore, gone are those miniskirts and jean miniskirts from the 2000s.

However ironically I feel like women's swimwear is better now than it was in the 2000s, in the 2000s it was all about maximizing skin exposure, now they brought more 90s style designs where they accentuate a woman's curves more, which to me is way sexier, but with still plenty of skin exposure (is there even such a thing as a bikini bottom that doesn't show a little cheek now?)

Maybe I'm just jaded and detached from society so I don't pay attention, but I feel like there's been way less cultural progress since the internet age started. Like, there's a light year's difference between popular music, trends, and styles from 1977-1991, but I can't say the same for 2007-2021.

Oh yeah, cultural evolution has slowed way down, you compare 1977-1991 but compare 1967 with 1981 for an even more extreme example, we are definitely not as far removed from 2007 in 2021.

Like those circular sunglasses I remember were big in the 1990s and then came back into fashion in 2016.

I quite like those yoga pants to be honest.
