Leg warmers -

An '80s trend that became a '00s trend, and let's hope they stay there. Found in every color, leg warmers were paired with everything, even skirts and flip flops.

Colored sunglasses -

Let's be real: these shades are far from cool, and the glass having two tones makes it even worse.

Low-rise jeans -

Probably one of the more uncomfortable looks from the '00s, it was worn by seemingly everyone. Thankfully, we have moved on.

Bedazzled jeans -

No matter what kind of jeans you had, there was probably one 'fun' pair embellished with rhinestones or crystals.

Juicy Couture tracksuits -

The infamous Juicy Couture tracksuit was the ultimate 'it girl' uniform. And even if you didn't have the original, you certainly had a pair of fake ones!

Tiered miniskirts -

The 2000's were the era of the tiered miniskirt. Spotted everywhere (well, maybe not in schools), they were often worn with a white tank top and a chunky belt.

Dresses over jeans -

Specifically, flared jeans with some pointy shoes. Luckily, this trend stayed in the '00s, or so we hope.

Tank tops over another shirt -

If you owned a lace tank top, you probably layered it over a T-shirt. This look was achievable and popular with any color. A true '00s mix.

The tied-up cardigan -

Probably not the worst trend from the '00s, but it wasn't the best either. And wearing this at a formal event did not do anyone any favors.

Denim on denim -

This trend has now been mastered, and there are plenty of cool examples of denim-on-denim looks. But in the early '00s, it was just a textile disaster.

Long necklaces -

Regardless if it actually went with your outfit or not, a long necklace was a must-have accessory. A plus was to pair it with a choker.

Boho vibes -

If you weren't the Juicy Couture kind, maybe you leaned towards these boho looks. Often paired with a western coin belt, the boho '00s were all about flared jeans and flowy dresses.

A really skinny scarf -

Was it to keep you warm? Most certainly not! It was just pure aesthetic, and seemingly every teen girl and young woman rocked it in the early 2000s.

Leggings with everything -

Leggings had a major boom in the '00s, and they were worn with everything, from shorts to long tops. It was the key piece in fashion.

Fedora hats -

Spotted everywhere from beach parties to red carpets, the fedora hat was the ultimate unisex accessory.

Cropped cardigans -

You probably had one in every color. Paired with formal dresses to causal tops, it was the essential layering piece.

Plastic bracelets -

Probably just like Fergie, you too pilled on a bunch of plastic bangles to match with your outfit. A true '00s accessory.

Shirts that were laced up from the front -

At the time, this shirt was probably a funky and sexy idea, but looking at it today, it was clear that this was not a good look.

Capri pants -

Are they shorts or are they pants? We just know that they're definitely an unflattering mistake, even on Rihanna.

© Getty Images

19 / 27 Fotos

Wide belts -

No '00s outfit would be complete without the addition of a large, wide belt. Be it plastic or woven pattern, the must-have piece would amp up any outfit (in our minds then).

Laced-up jeans -

Probably worse than low-rise jeans are these that needed to be laced up from the side. And they didn't come with a zipper!

© Getty Images

Halterneck dresses -

The halterneck dress was seen everywhere in the '00s. From mini dresses to gowns, this style was a go-to.

Tiny shoulder bags -

Was it really practical? Certainly not, but if the young stars from that time wore one, you definitely did too.

© Getty Images

23 / 27 Fotos

Low-rise sweatpants -

Sweatpants should be comfortable, but this take on them looks far from that. And pairing them with sandals wasn't the best choice either.

© Getty Images

24 / 27 Fotos

The Alexander McQueen skull scarf -

This lightweight print scarf was the epitome of logo mania. Anyone who wanted to look edgy would wrap themselves in this status scarf.

Tube tops -

If you weren't scared that your tube top would slide down, did you even live in the '00s? This was the number one worry of early aughts fashionistas.
