I Thought These Trends Died in the 2010s, But Fashion People Say They're Back

GettyStyle Notes: Let's face it, Victoria Beckham has (and always will be) the poster girl for the LBD, ever since she set the precedent as Posh Spice. Bandeau mini dresses are back in a big way, so no doubt you've seen a similar style on Instagram recently. I'll pass on the thigh-high boots this time around, though.
Does it get any more fabulous than a 16Arlington feather dress? I think not.

GettyStyle Notes: A going-out outfit in 2010 wouldn't be complete without a large, look-at-me necklace. Statement accessories were key, and 2023 is seeing a lot of styles make a comeback. Rope necklaces with big pendants, chunky chains and bold beads are some of the styles to look out for.
I'm obsessed with the Capsule collection at Mango—this necklace included.

GettyStyle Notes: A shoulder-robed cardigan? Totally 2010. Instead of a jacket or coat, cardigans—in particular, cable-knit styles—were the cover-up to choose. And who doesn't still love a cosy cardie? They're an autumn favourite to wear with baggy jeans and trainers.

GettyStyle Notes: Everyone from Beyoncé to Kate Moss sported super-short denim hot pants back in 2010. For a festival with boots or a night out with tights or leggings (yes, really), they were a firm favourite. This season, you'll have seen ripped styles make a return along with longline Bermuda iterations.
Raey is second to none when it comes to denim.

GettyStyle Notes: In 2010, you wouldn't leave the house without a skintight leather jacket in tow. Ashanti styled hers with matching (equally as tight) leggings and peep-toe, heeled boots—a microtrend in their own right. Leather is back this year in the form of buckled bikers and sleek, minimalist jackets.
If you want the 2010 vibe, opt for a more fitted, cropped style.

GettyStyle Notes: If you were a teenager or young adult in 2010, you will most likely have owned Topshop Jamie jeans in at least two colours. And when I think of the skinniest styles, I will always instantly relate them to Kate Moss. The noughties fashion icon wore hers with a tank top, low-slung belt and boucle jacket (also back this year), but now, you'll most likely see them worn with slouchier sweaters and blazers.
ASOS is always a go-to when it comes to skinny jeans all year round.

GettyStyle Notes: Along with the statement necklace, there's no doubt you would add some form of belt to the majority of your outfits in the 2010s. Waist styles were key, and I for one had a whole collection in all colours to wear with every single outfit. My collection included the disk belt, which, to my surprise, is now being worn once again and can be found on the high street at the likes of Urban Outfitters.
Never did I ever think I would see the return of the disk belt. But here it is.
