      Peplum tops, low rise jeans, whale tails and studded belts.

      Newsboy caps, pants under dresses, neckties as necklaces and uggs.

      Clear lip gloss (or foundation as lip coverage), pink/purple eyeshadow and oversized D&G knockoffs with a comically over/undersized handbag.

      Oh and “juicy” velour tracksuits in the tackiest color you can find.

      It was inescapable hell 🫠

      Edit: and ANYTHING from Hollister and/or Aeropostale, the second one being fantastic at inspiring eating disorders.

        Think of it this way.

        The 1950’s was the “Rock and Roll” era.

        The 1970’s was ‘Disco.’

        The 2000’s were ‘the 2000s’

        Bell bottoms and acid washed jeans lasted a few years, and I’ve been seeing guys with their pants below the butt for decades.

      It absolutely had various styles just like any other decade. Skinny jeans and oversized basketball shorts. Low rise jeans and crop tops. Vans and silly bandz.

      I imagine a party theme being dominated by the music choice and decor. I wouldn’t know what to do for decor, but I’m itching for a 90s music list.

    I feel fortunate that I’m my lifetime “Party Like It’s 1999” went from being about the future, to being exactly what everyone was doing, to being retro.

      Read a book called “Stand On Zanzibar” by John Brunner. Written in 1969 and set in the early 21st century.

      Scary how much the author got exactly right.
