LOL-Worthy Fashion Flashbacks from 2007 You Won’t Believe
If there’s one thing the 2000s gave us, it’s a mixed bag of fashion choices that make us cringe and chuckle today. Fashion in 2007 was an adventurous experiment with styles that seem downright bizarre now. From strange trends to unusual accessories, here are some of the most amusing fashion choices that defined 2007.
1. The Giant Belt Over Everything
remember when belts were less about holding up pants and more about making a statement? In 2007, super-wide belts were often placed in the most unexpected spots – cinched tightly over dresses, tunics, or even sweaters. The main rule seemed to be: the bigger, the better. This accessory was the epitome of fashion confusion, but it sure did turn heads.
2. Ed Hardy Overload
If your 2007 wardrobe didn’t feature at least one piece of Ed Hardy, were you even living? With its colorful, tattoo-inspired designs, Ed Hardy clothing and accessories became the go-to for anyone wanting to seem edgy and trendy. More often than not, this resulted in a chaotic clash of patterns and colors that looked a bit like a graffiti artist had a heyday on your clothes.
3. Von Dutch Truckers Hats
Trucker hats were the headgear of choice for many, with Von Dutch leading the charge. While these mesh-and-foam hats were originally meant for truck drivers, they quickly became a staple in pop culture. Pairing one with anything was a sure way to channel the iconic ‘I just rolled out of bed looking cool’ vibe – or at least, that was the goal.
4. Shutter Shades
Kanye West made these plastic, slatted sunglasses famous, and before long, everyone seemed to be wearing them. Despite seriously limiting visibility, shutter shades were a must-have fashion item. They weren’t exactly practical, but who needs to see properly when you can look fly, right?
5. Layering Long Tees Under Short Tees
This trend was all about layering – taking a plain long-sleeve tee and wearing it under a short-sleeve one. It’s hard to say why this became popular, but perhaps it was a desperate attempt to stay warm while still showing off a favorite graphic tee. Either way, it solidified its place as a bizarre yet iconic look of 2007.
Fashion in 2007 was truly a wild ride, filled with quirky trends and bold choices that we can’t help but laugh at now. While these styles might make us giggle, they certainly made the year memorable. For more flashes from the fashionable past, check out these sites:
