Noughtie-inspired looks make a comeback, and we cannot COPE
You definitely know you're getting old when you begin truly noticing the cyclical nature of fashion.
While the teenyboppers among us may be fawning over the 'latest' trends on the high street, there are an embarrassing number of us who remember them the first time around.
From last season's 90s-inspired leather backpacks and bomber jackets to this season's noughties-inspired embellished belts, one-shouldered tops and pinstripes, there are some of us at SHEmazing! HQ who could easily save a few bob this Autumn / Winter by raiding our teenage closets.
With that in mind, we have put together some of the most cringe-worthy looks which signalled the beginning of the millennium and the end of our love affair with Britney's wardrobe.
1. Denim blazers
If there are two words which clash more, we've yet to hear them.
2. Velour tracksuits
Comfortable? Yes. Stylish? Yes… at the time, that is.
3. Boleros
No seriously, what the hell was the point?
4. Uber-baggy cargos
Extra points if your tum was toned as the Girls Aloud gals
5. Uneven hemlines
Less leg or more leg? We could never decide, and thankfully we didn't have to.
Ladies, dare we ask how long will it be before this classic Britney look makes a reappearance?
