10 Fashion Trends From the 2010s You Almost Forgot
The 2010s may have only ended two years ago, but we're happy to leave some of the decade's most popular trends in the past. Whether it's your ol' faithful pair of Jeffrey Campbell Litas or that boho flower crown, many of these styles may still be sitting in the waaaay back of your closet. However, rather than tossing out your infinity scarves, celebrate them for the laughs they bring as you revisit your 2010s attire. Check out these 10 major fashion moments as L'OFFICIEL takes you through the good, the bad, and the most shocking trends of the last decade.
Before there was the Chelsea boot, every self-proclaimed Tumblr girl of the early 2010s owned a pair of Jeffrey Campbell Lita heels. With what seemed like an infinite number of colors and patterns, no matter your aesthetic, these platform booties were the shoes to own.
While many new fashion moments were created, the 2010s also included the resurgence of the bodycon dress. The tight-fitting silhouette, also referred to as a bandage dress, was popularized by designer Hervé Léger in the 1990s. In 2007, his name brand was bought by BCBG Max Azria, which released a capsule collection to honor the designer and his most attritbuted piece. Stars like Kim Kardashian graviated towards the hip-hugging silhouette during the early 2010s for its hourglass shape.
If you wore flats in the early 2010s, it was probably a pair of Toms. These canvas shoes were the perfect in-between of a sneaker and a ballet flat. Celebs like Jennifer Garner and Jessica Alba were often spotted sporting the casual style while running everday errands.
Before there was cottagecore, the flower crown trend separated the hipster girls from the pack and was a go-to accessory for the Coachella set. For many, this floral regalia became the must-have wedding accessory of the 2010s, usually accompanied by a bucolic backdrop, a picturesque barn reception, and Pinterest-inspired decor.
Gucci loafers became a defining accessory of 2017. The sharp style was both business-savvy and weekend-casual. The shoe, beloved by stars like Harry Styles, was practically unavoidable on Instagram.
A fall/winter favorite, infinity scarves were the perfect finishing touch to a slouchy cardigan, leggings, and Ugg boot ensemble. Whether draped over once or wrapped around the neck, there isn't any worrying about how to tie a scarf with this cozy accessory.
2017 was considered the year of millennial pink. Album covers, red carpets, and runways teemed with the new color of the moment. Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele leaned into the trend with bold statement pieces, like this winter coat from the brand's Fall/Winter 2017 collection.
Although short-lived, vinyl shoes made a big splash as the trend to try in the late 2010s. Chanel's Spring/Summer 2018 collection featured a series of transparent black and white cap-toe boots. Soon, Kim Kardashian and other members of the KarJen clan were photographed sporting the clear shoe trend. However, the viral look died out when it received attention from doctors who warned that the plastic material could increase your risk of blisters and bacteria.
Before she was a mom or a major beauty mogul, in 2016, Kylie Jenner gave new meaning to the term "ripped jeans" when she posted this shot of her derrière-exposing denim on Instagram. Fans quickly followed suit, leading vintage jeans retailer Re/Done to create an entire Ass Rip collection to meet the popular demand.
