I was going to save you the secondhand cringe of describing one of my favorite outfits that I wore in the 9th grade, but since I'm talking about nostalgic trends, I
think it's necessary. It was a striped sweater, bright red skinny jeans, a maxi crochet vest and of course, tall black Uggs. Before you ask—no, I don't have any pictures. You may just be as surprised as I am when I say that all of the pieces I wore that day are trending highly this 2021, but in a much more elevated way. They're not exactly the same as the pieces I scoured from the racks of Limited Too, Forever21, and Wet Seal—but the common themes are all there.
There are a lot of comebacks made in 2021, from micro mini skirts to low-rise jeans, but the 9 below are ones that I have vivid clear memory wearing all throughout the '2010s. Think the era of Tumblr, Polyvore, and fashion bloggers galore. There are even some early '2000s trends that have made it into the mix too.I got a nostalgia trip just writing this story, but also got excited to incorporate these more modernized styles into my current wardrobe
