I wouldn't normally create a thread based on discussing clothing/fashion (as I know next to nothing about fashion 
), but I got the inspiration for this thread by looking at childhood photos of myself and noticing some trends which were unique for each period of time (e.g jean shorts, flannelette shirts). How would you describe the overall look/fashion of the 2000s? What were your experiences with the fashion trends of that decade?
I would describe the overall "look" of the 2000s as being very suburban, loose and conformist. Spiky-hair and baggy jeans (or jeans in general) were very popular throughout the entire decade. The Mid 2000s, in particular, were very conformist in the sense that the clothing styles weren't bright, colourful or made to "stand out". I think the fashion trends of the time (which were arguably unimaginative and bland) were largely a reflection of the social attitudes of the era.
This photo I think is a pretty good example of what the Mid 2000s were like. It was taken back in 2005. Notice how I am wearing a shirt with the words "street dude" on it. It's strange, because I never wore shirts like that in the Early or Late 2000s. Also, when you think about it, you generally don't see kids wearing stereotypical shirts like that anymore. Could you imagine the outrage if a shirt like the one I wore in the photo was sold in stores today? All the SJW-warriors would be saying things like, "it's fueling stereotypes based on genders" or "it is discriminatory against girls". I don't know why, but I think that photo is such a product of it's time.
I have several photos of me (like this photo) from 2000/2001 wearing flannelette shirts and long, baggy jeans, despite the fact that I was only a toddler during those years. I think "Grunge"-style fashion remained popular in Australia until as late as 2002, because there are several family photos of myself and others wearing flannel shirts in 2000/2001 and I remember my Dad told me once his ex-girlfriend's daughter and her friends still thought it was cool to wear flannelette shirts. Nevertheless, it's definitely a sign of it's time. You definitely don't see toddlers/kids wearing flannel shirts now.

I have a few photos of me from the Early 2000s wearing oversized t-shirts/pants as well.
