Teenage Girl Tries on Her Mom’s Jeans From the Early 2000’s, Reminding the Internet that Low-rise is on a Come Back and Y2K Fashion is Now "Vintage"

True Religion and Seven Jeans used to dominate the fashion world in the early 2000s. In fact, if you didn’t have a tramp stamp of rhinestones on your low-rise denim, you were a nobody.

Anyone who remembers that era recalls the flat stomachs, fancy tops, and the low-rise flare  jeans. Pair that with some monstrous hoop earrings and enormous bug-eye sunglasses and we got ourselves a socialite.

Dari, aka @urrmomm22, has been on a rampage through her mom’s closet, raiding fashion’s trendiest selections from the early 2000’s straight from the millennial source.

My mom has some of the same jeans and I stole them from her

Fast forward two decades, (lol I guess that IS how long it’s been) and the millennial generation had thrown out the low-rise flare for the painted-on-tight skinny jeans with a high waist. However, since it’s been two decades… *cringe*... Gen Z and the TikTok generation are on the rise with “vintage” looks from their parent’s generation.

Though it hurts to say, I suppose 20 year old fashion is technically considered vintage.

My room is now a mess

Dari’s followers are completely obsessed with the looks that she’s sharing and quite frankly, it’s a bit shocking how many jeans her mom had kept from 2000-2010. Not only that, but Dari also began to dabble in some of the classic tops that we all remember fondly (or not so fondly) from the early 2000’s.

The amount of tops that we stretched into dresses is appalling

Somehow each outfit here feels a bit like what all the cool girls wore to every middle school dance, but apparently, according to Gen Z, it’s bussin. It’s sort of haunting that a 15 year old has raided her mother’s closet only to unearth the exact styles that the generation before it was attempting to outrun.

The cyclical nature of fashion is honestly a bit obvious when you think about it, but I suppose Gen Z hasn’t had the chance to walk in the rain in flare jeans yet, or maybe they just haven’t had to tuck in the corners of their muffin-tops over the top of a low-rise jean.

Maybe I’ll be fashionable again in the next 10-20 years when flared, low-rise jeans have run their course again, but until then, skinny jeans or die.
