2000s in fashion#Early 2000s (2000–2003)

{{main|Fast fashion}}

The early to mid-2000s saw a rise in the consumption of fast fashion: affordable off-the-peg high street clothing based on the latest high fashion designs. With its low-cost appeal driven by trends straight off the runway, fast fashion was a significant factor in the fashion industry's growth. As affordable clothing became even more important in the entrance to the new age, brands started to develop strategies to keep up with consumers' new spending habits.{{cite web|last1=Idacavage|first1=Sara|title=Fashion History Lesson: The Origins of Fast Fashion|url=http://fashionista.com/2016/06/what-is-fast-fashion|website=Fashionista|access-date=9 May 2017|date=8 June 2016}} {{free access}}

In 1999, department stores in the US such as Macy's, J.C. Penney, Kohl's and more had sales totaling $230 billion. In the years that followed, that number began to fall. By the early 2000s, the rise of online retail and in-store fast fashion caused department store sales to dwindle as retailers offered new styles quicker than ever before.{{cite web|last1=Wahba|first1=Phil|title=Can America's Department Stores Survive?|url=http://fortune.com/2017/02/21/department-stores-future-macys-sears/|website=Fortune|access-date=9 May 2017|date=21 February 2017}} Retail giants of the new millennium included H&M, Forever 21, and Zara. Target found major success in collaborating with various fashion designers to create affordable designer pieces, making them available to the average consumer.{{cite web|last1=Chernikoff|first1=Leah|title=The Top 20 Designer Collaborations: A Timeline|url=http://fashionista.com/2012/06/the-top-20-designer-collaborations-a-timeline|website=Fashionista|access-date=9 May 2017|date=12 June 2012}} {{free access}}

This trend in fast fashion allowed shoppers to own designer items at lower prices and also allowed the production and public normalization of copycat styles.{{cite web|last1=Muhlke|first1=Christine|title=Chasing a Fast-Fashion Knockoff|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/14/fashion/14Scavenger.html|url-access=subscription|website=The New York Times|access-date=9 May 2017|date=13 October 2010}} Designers noticed that their designs were being copied, and many designers began to adapt; in 2004, the retailer H&M, a prominent fast fashion brand, collaborated with fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld to introduce a one-time collection that proved to be a huge success, as women flocked to H&M stores to own a piece of the designer's 30 selections available in the collection.{{cite web|title=Truly Fast Fashion: H&M's Lagerfeld Line Sells Out in Hours|url=http://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-features/truly-fast-fashion-h-m-8217-s-lagerfeld-line-sells-out-in-hours-593089/|website=WWD|access-date=9 May 2017|date=15 November 2004}}

Stores such as Wet Seal and American Apparel are said to be "American precursors to the fast fashion empire".

The ethics of fast fashion has been the topic of numerous debates and questioning of business practices. Producing fashion at such fast rates involves less secure working conditions/or wages. It also involves a lot of waste. Americans throw out 14 million tons of clothing a year, with the help of fast fashion.{{cite web|last1=Wicker|first1=Alden|title=Fast Fashion is Creating an Environmental Crisis|url=http://www.newsweek.com/2016/09/09/old-clothes-fashion-waste-crisis-494824.html|website=Newsweek|date=1 September 2016}} Retailers like Forever 21 and H&M have come under fire, not only for their wasteful fast fashion practices that have grown steadily since the beginning of 2000 but for the involvement of cheap labor. The appeal of fast fashion lies in the copying of higher-end brands; however, after something is no longer trendy it is on to the next, leaving clothes to go to waste, and workers to continue to live on unlivable wages.{{cite web|last1=Chau|first1=Lisa|title=The Wasteful Culture of Forever 21, H&M, and 'Fast Fashion'|url=https://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/economic-intelligence/2012/09/21/the-wasteful-culture-of-forever-21-hm-and-fast-fashion|website=US News|access-date=9 May 2017|date=21 September 2012}}

At the same time that fast fashion became able to supply vast quantities of imitation luxury goods, Western income inequalities had risen steadily.{{Cite web|title=U.S. household income distribution, by Gini-coefficient 2020|url=https://www.statista.com/statistics/219643/gini-coefficient-for-us-individuals-families-and-households/|access-date=2022-02-10|website=Statista|language=en}}{{Cite journal|last=Francis-Devine|first=Brigid|date=2022-10-02|title=Income inequality in the Knurl=https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-7484/|journal=House of Commons Library|language=en-GB}}{{Cite web title=Gini index (World Bank estimate) {{!}} Data|url=https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.POV.GINI|access-date=2022-02-10|website=data.worldbank.org}} To create an image of belonging to a higher income group, people sought real or copied branded "high fashion" items.{{Cite book|last=Lowe|first=Elizabeth D.|title=The United States and Canada |chapter=Class |year=2010|isbn=9781847888525|volume=3|pages=233–239 |language=en|doi=10.2752/bewdf/edch3032}} In haute couture, designers were becoming increasingly inspired by pop culture and street style. These designs could succeed in high fashion because some top percentile earners wanted to present as being less wealthy; to communicate "street cred" or equality ideals. In addition, designer street style enabled the few social climbers that did exist (such as in the entertainment industry), to show that they valued their roots. The tensions of income inequalities and fast fashion therefore led to the blending of street style and haute couture. The designer's logo was seen boldly printed on all types of clothing, particularly items that needed to be replaced less often, such as purses or sunglasses. A logoed purse was a visual unifier, worn by celebrities, models and "middle class" shoppers (who, because of growing income inequalities, earned increasingly less than habitual haute couture customers). Thanks to outlet stores and plentiful supplies of fast fashion "knockoffs", a logoed purse became available to everyone. For the majority of shoppers, a branded purse was a form of escapism; a unifying factor that let people forget how much money they made, and present themselves as being more financially well-off.

As the decade went on, it became increasingly popular in the UK and America to mix designer and fast fashion clothing. In response, vintage and thrifted clothing asserted itself, growing in popularity after the 2008/9 recession.{{Cite web|title=The Rise of Vintage Fashion and the Vintage Consumer|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263469162|access-date=2022-02-10|website=ResearchGate|language=en}}

American, British and Western European Fashion in the 2000s was profoundly influenced by technology. Around this time, there was a monochromatic futuristic approach to fashion,{{cite magazine |date=23 December 2000 |title=The Year That Was: Style |url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20039224,00.html |url-status=dead |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090425113213/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20039224,00.html |archive-date=25 April 2009 |access-date=6 July 2023}} with metallics, shiny blacks, heavy use of gray, straps, and buckles becoming commonplace. Y2K fashion, as it came to be known, aimed to reflect the sleek appearance of its era's new technology. When the original iPod was introduced in 2001, the white earbuds, as well as the gadget itself, became something of an accessory for early adopters.{{cite web|last=Brillson |first=Leila |url=http://www.refinery29.com/millennial-trends#page-2 |title=Millennial Trends – Clothing Popular in the 2000s |publisher=refinery29.com |date=26 February 2013 |access-date=26 March 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140328105310/http://www.refinery29.com/millennial-trends |archive-date=28 March 2014}}

Fashion also influenced technology; in January 2015, Google's president Eric Schmidt cited the massive attention to the dress Jennifer Lopez wore to the 2000 Grammy Awards as the motivation for the creation of Google Images search.{{cite web|url=http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/google-european-commission-and-disruptive-technological-change-by-eric-schmidt-2015-01#yMSC5IlY7sHATDCO.99|title=The Tinkerer's Apprentice|publisher=ETC|date=23 January 2015|last=Schmidt|first=Eric|access-date=24 February 2015}} In 2000, Google Search results were limited to simple pages of text with links, but the developers worked on developing this further, realizing that an image search was required to answer "the most popular search query" they had seen to date: Jennifer Lopez's green dress.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-49780020 |title=Jennifer Lopez revives dress behind the invention of Google Images |publisher=BBC News |date=21 September 2019 }}

Other pieces of Y2K clothing included mesh tops, wraparound sunglasses, wireframe rectangle glasses, box-pleated skirts, handkerchief tops (often in a metallic pattern such as silver or gold for a disco feel),{{cite web |url=http://www.yaleherald.com/archive/xxviii/1999.11.18/ae/p17jamil.html |title=Y2K fashion just run-of-the-millenium |access-date=5 September 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150624100825/http://www.yaleherald.com/archive/xxviii/1999.11.18/ae/p17jamil.html |archive-date=24 June 2015 |url-status=dead }} satin or leather skirts,{{cite news|url=https://money.cnn.com/2000/10/13/companies/specialty/ |title=Fashion variety the ticket |access-date=6 July 2014 | publisher=CNN|date=13 October 2000}} concert t-shirts or band merch with rhinestones, sparkling shoes,{{cite web|url=http://nymag.com/nymetro/shopping/fashion/features/1945/ |title=Spring Fashion 2000 |date=14 February 2000 |access-date=6 July 2014}} halter tops, sequined pants (popularized by Peter Morrissey),{{cite web|url=http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/previous/fashion_of_the_year_2000.php |title=Powerhouse Museum Fashion of the Year 2000 |access-date=21 June 2014}} and embroidered and sequined tops (inspired by Easton Pearson),{{cite web |url=http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/ecologic/sustainable-design-database/quality-and-durability/womens-outfit/ |title=Powerhouse Museum – Women's outfit |access-date=21 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715001426/http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/ecologic/sustainable-design-database/quality-and-durability/womens-outfit/ |archive-date=15 July 2014 |url-status=dead }} along with the famous pearl printed black dress cocktail dress by Karen Walker—which was successful worldwide.

In 2000, some examples of casual women's and girl's fashion trends were oversized sunglasses, mini shoulder handbags/purses,{{cite web |url=http://collegecandy.com/2009/12/14/looking-back-at-the-best-of-2000/ |title=Looking Back at the Best of 2000 |publisher=collegecandy.com |date=14 December 2013 |access-date=4 May 2014 |archive-date=5 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140505041114/http://collegecandy.com/2009/12/14/looking-back-at-the-best-of-2000/ |url-status=dead }} aviator sunglasses, oversized hoop earrings, jeans worn in various ways (such as mid-rise, boot-cut, fabric accents down the sides, fabric accents sewn into the flares, lace-up sides and tie-dye), wedge flip flops, hot pants, denim jackets, chunky sweaters, pashmina scarves, Skechers,{{cite web|url=http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Skechers_U.S.A._Inc.aspx |title=Skechers U.S.A.

In Africa, Europe, North America, East Asia, South America, and Oceania, the early 2000s saw the continuation of many mid and late 1990s fashions due to the continued influence of teen pop stars such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, such as the military look,{{cite news|url=http://www.seattlepi.com/lifestyle/article/The-way-we-wore-2002-s-fashion-trends-1104117.php |title=The way we wore: 2002's fashion trends |access-date=9 May 2014 | work=Seattle Post-Intelligencer}} while introducing newer more vaguely dystopian post modern trends.

9/11 and the mortgage crisis of 2008 impacted fashion by bringing in a new wave of conservatism. This created a rise in denim, the American fabric of the working person. Jeans became acceptable in every situation, from the supermarket to the red carpet.{{Cite news|url=http://www.oyetimes.com/lifestyle/fashion/37080-from-uggs-to-y2k-what-the-00s-meant-to-us|title=From Uggs To Y2K, What The '00s Meant To Us {{!}} Oye! Times|date=27 February 2013|language=en-US}} This slow shift to conservatism can be observed in jeans started low-rise in reflection of the free-spirited Y2K style and moved through various waistlines and leg widths. The sense of unity in the country because all kinds of people were buying the same brands and sporting the same American companies furthermore established corporate logos as a form of stability and comfort in fashion.

Possibly in reaction to the streamlined, futuristic, outer space-themed Y2K styles of the year 2000, distressed denim became popular in America from 2001 to 2008. Pants became lower waisted and significantly more flared than they were previously, and often featured elaborate embroidery rather than the utilitarian, no-frills style of before. In the UK, it was popular for women to wear skirts over trousers, floral print shift dresses, and colors like black, purple and pink. Big, chunky shoes and chunky sandals were popular, with thick wedge heels and imitation leather straps decorated with floral embroidery,{{citation needed|date=October 2017}} while previously successful sneaker brands like Skechers declined in popularity.

Although the 1980s fashion revival wasn't in full swing until 2001, the first movement started in the late 1990s and continued into the early 2000s. This first wave primarily focused on the early 1980s. Such trends that emerged during this period included denim miniskirts, ripped "distressed" jeans, denim jackets, tracksuits, trench coats (often in pleather), puffy jackets (revived by Hip-Hop artists), and preppy polo shirts with popped collars. These remained popular until about 2008 when the revival of later 1980s fashions occurred.

European and American women and girls wore low-top sneakers such as Skechers, Heelys, Adidas shoes, Reebok shoes, and Nike, as well as knee-high boots with spiked heels and pointed toes (or conversely, thick low heels and round or square toes). Popular accessories of the early 2000s include white belts, aviator sunglasses, trucker hats, hoop earrings, block heeled mary janes, leg warmers (worn with mini skirts),{{cite web|url=http://www.fashionencyclopedia.com/fashion_costume_culture/Modern-World-1980-2003/Leg-Warmers.html |title=Leg Warmers |access-date=7 July 2014}} ugg boots, flip-flops, jelly shoes,{{cite news | first=Booth | last=Moore | title=Jammin' jellies | work=Los Angeles Times | date=30 May 2003 | url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-may-30-et-moore30-story.html}} lace-up sandals, newsboy caps, ponchos, and jelly bracelets.{{Cite web |last=Mikkelson |first=Barbara |date=2003-11-14 |title=Sex Bracelets |url=https://www.snopes.com//fact-check/sex-bracelets/ |access-date=2024-02-23 |website=Snopes |language=en}}

The American television series Sex and the City impacted how women cared about fashion and how they shopped. The show depicted women as empowered consumers, each with their own independent styles that shopped based on what they wanted, not what they were told to wear.{{Cite book|chapter=Television|volume=3|last=Cunningham|first=Patricia|title=The United States and Canada|language=en|doi=10.2752/bewdf/edch3038|year=2010|pages=283–288|isbn=9781847888525}} The main characters became fashion icons, inspiring window displays, fashion lines, magazines, and women globally.

The clothing of American hip-hop fans underwent an evolution from the sagging baggy gangster jeans of the late 1990s to a more retro look by the end of the decade.{{Cite web |last=Krishnamurthy |first=Sowmya |title=Hip-Hop Style |url=https://www.askmen.com/fashion/trends_700/711_hip-hop-style.html |access-date=2024-02-23 |website=AskMen |language=en-us}} Popular items of clothing included wide leg jeans, baseball jackets, Nike Air Jordans, tracksuits, sweatpants, bucket hats, stunna shades, fur-lined puffer jackets, and flat-brim trucker hats or baseball caps (often retaining the store label).Wilbekin, Emil.

Another common American subculture were the cholos and chicanos who wore baggy khaki slacks, gold chains, white T-shirts, and slicked back hair or shaved heads in imitation of Mexican prison gangs.

After hip-hop fashion went mainstream in the early 2000s, it never lost its core spirit of rebellion and self-expression. Artists such as Nigo, the originator of A Bathing Ape (BAPE), and Pharrell Williams were essential in fusing hip-hop with skate culture, which expanded the fashion influence of the music.{{Cite web |last=Kolbrener |first=Charlie |date=2020-03-31 |title=The History of Hip Hop Fashion from 2000 to 2020 |url=https://www.one37pm.com/music/history-of-hip-hop-fashion-2000-2020 |access-date=2024-03-01 |website=www.one37pm.com |language=en}} Baggy clothes gained popularity, probably as a result of inner-city hand-me-downs being ill-fitting.

In the mid to late 2000s, artists such as Kanye West challenged the conventional ideas of masculinity in hip-hop fashion by presenting a more varied selection of ensemble options, such as shutter sunglasses and pink polo shirts. Hip-hop and high fashion saw a dramatic crossover during this time, with Kanye West's partnership with Louis Vuitton signifying a new degree of collaboration between the two industries. Hip-hop's growing interest in luxury clothes was highlighted by A$AP Rocky's name-dropping of high-end labels in his songs, which established designers like Rick Owens and Raf Simons as mainstays of the genre's lexicon.

Common haircuts included the french crop or (for girls) a Croydon facelift.{{citation needed|date=December 2019}}

Hair was thin, flat and straight, with long, matte bangs (US) or fringe (UK), usually dyed black.{{Cite web |last=Grillo |first=Ioan |title=Mexico's Emo-Bashing Problem - TIME |url=http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1725839,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080328045022/http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1725839,00.html |archive-date=28 March 2008 }}

Preppy guys wore polo shirts sometimes layered with a long sleeved shirt underneath, baseball jackets, red and blue cardigan sweaters, madras plaid shirts, sweater vests, oxford shirts, khaki chino pants, Nike Tempo shorts, Sperrys, Keds, Hunter rain boots, designer brands like Hollister or Old Navy, and white casual sneakers like Nikes or Converse.

In the early 2000s, women's hair was often long and straight.{{cite web |url=http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/12/31/top-10-beauty-trends-of-the-00s/ |title=Top 10 beauty trends of the '00s |access-date=26 July 2014 |archive-date=28 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140728065715/http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/12/31/top-10-beauty-trends-of-the-00s/ |url-status=dead }} The early 2000s featured "zig-zag partings", in which the hairline is parted in a zig-zag fashion. Hair lengths varied from below the earlobes at the shortest to just below the shoulders at the longest.{{cite web|url=http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip564.htm |title=Top Hair Trends For 2000 |access-date=15 August 2014}} From 1995 until 2008 highlights and lowlights made of blonde, red, and light brown went mainstream. In 2000, highlights were soft and subtle for a sun-kissed look. In 2002 bold and unblended highlights called "chunky highlights" burst onto the scene. This trend was kickstarted by Kelly Clarkson during her time on American Idol, lasting until 2006.{{cite web|url=http://www.bellasugar.com/Beauty-Trends-2000s-6684357#photo-6712386|title=Beauty Trends of the 2000s|access-date=10 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413171531/http://www.bellasugar.com/Beauty-Trends-2000s-6684357#photo-6712386|archive-date=13 April 2014|url-status=dead}} The early 2000s also continued the Farrah Fawcett hairstyle revival of the late 1990s.{{cite web|url=http://www.fashionencyclopedia.com/fashion_costume_culture/Modern-World-Part-II-1961-1979/Farrah-Fawcett-Look.html |title=Farrah Fawcett Look |access-date=17 September 2014}} Crimped hair was popular in the early and mid-2000s.

For black women, cornrows, dreadlocks and curly weaves were popular until the late 2000s, when toned-down versions of the Afro, Jheri curl and short pixie cuts were popularized by artists like Janet Jackson and Rihanna. Another popular hairstyle throughout the decade was the braid, rejuvenated by the likes of Alicia Keys and Lauren Conrad. Throughout the early and middle years braids and plaits would often be meticulously put in intricate patterns and would purposely be styled as a way to blend in better with women's clothing styles.

In the mid-2000s, many women favored the bob haircut, as well as its longer version, the long bob or "the lob". By the late 00's, it became unfashionable to center-part one's hair, and the side-swept Bangs of the 1980s made a comeback.

In the late 2000s, dark haired women (and even light-haired ones) favored the jet black hair, as worn by Katy Perry or Amy Winehouse with her trademark beehive hairstyle. Textured hair with volume, natural wavy hair, and the bob cut became popular from 2007 onwards in both Britain and the USA. In 2009, many women sought to imitate the hairstyle Kate Gosselin had that year, briefly bringing back blended highlights into the mainstream. This look ended up only being a fad. Other popular late 2000s trends included Headbands, headwraps and Scrunchies, side ponytails, and braiding on one side of the head.

For European men aged 25–40, shorter hair styles that usually took the form of a quiff were fashionable in the early 2000s, as well as spiked hair and fauxhawks for men aged 18–30. Dark-haired young British men often had dyed-blonde weaves and streaks until the late 2000s when a natural hair color became the norm again.{{Cite web|url=https://www.complex.com/style/best-fashion-trends-of-early-2000s/|title=The 25 Best Fashion Trends of the Early 2000sRapper Clothing Brands|website=Complex}} A common haircut among American men and boys was the frosted spiky hair popularized by boybands and pop punk bands from 1997 through 2004, 2005–2008.

Long, shaggy Mod or surfer hair became popular among many young men between 2003 and 2006 in the UK as many bands moved away from punk rock and rap metal in favor of a 1960s inspired indie or garage rock sound pioneered by groups like The Strokes, Jet, The Killers, The Hives, The Vines, Coldplay, and The White Stripes. These hairstyles gradually replaced the shaggy, grown out curtained hair popular since the late 1990s among American celebrities like Tom Cruise, Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World, Alex Band, Jason Wade, Mehmet Okur and Hanno Möttölä.

By the late 2000s, many young British men opted for a clean-cut 1950s inspired hairstyle, kept in place with pomade.{{Cite web|url=https://www.askmen.com/grooming/appearance/|title=Appearance|website=AskMen}} Shaved and bald hairstyles along with beards, moustaches, stubble, sideburns, and the goatee became popular in Europe and North America in reaction to the effeminate early and mid-2000s metrosexual look, with charitable events like Movember further increasing their acceptability.{{Cite web |work=Marksimpson.com |title='Here come the mirror men' by Mark Simpson – first usage of the word 'metrosexual' |url=http://www.marksimpson.com/pages/journalism/mirror_men.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070119202843/http://www.marksimpson.com/pages/journalism/mirror_men.html |archive-date=19 January 2007 |access-date=18 October 2008}}

For boys, short haircuts such as the quiff, the buzzcut, curtains, crew cut, and Caesar cut were popular in the early 2000s. Girls favored straight hair extensions and chunky highlights. It also became fashionable to sport curly hair with a "zig-zag" side parting and blended highlights around 2002/03.{{cite web|url=http://www.beautifulhairstyles.com/2002/ |title=2002 Hair – Beautiful Hairstyles |access-date=5 September 2014}} Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, butterfly hair clips and crimped hair became extremely popular for preteens and teenage girls.

In the mid-2000s, longer hair on teenage boys became popular in the UK and America, including the wings haircut, influenced by the 1960s Mod subculture, and British indie pop stars.{{cite web |url=http://www.hair-style-salon.org/notable-hairstyles/wings-haircut.htm |title=skater Haircut Retrieved 2008-10-18 |publisher=Hair-style-salon.org |access-date=30 November 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111214032445/http://www.hair-style-salon.org/notable-hairstyles/wings-haircut.htm |archive-date=14 December 2011 |url-status=dead }} Hairstyles among teenage girls experienced little change, being largely the same as they were in the early 2000s. Curly hair became less popular in Britain, while straight hair grew more dominant. Highlights remained popular, as well as extensions. Hair was often tied into a ponytail and incorporated long bangs or a fringe.

In 2009, the androgynous Harajuku inspired scene hairstyles (often dyed bright colors) and eyeliner were popular among girls and boys alike: first in Japan, and later in the US and Europe.{{Cite web |title=Metropolis – Tokyo feature stories: Face to face with Harajuku – Pictures of Japanese youth |url=http://metropolis.co.jp/tokyofeaturestoriesarchive299/252/tokyofeaturestoriesinc.htm |work=Metropolis.co.jp |access-date=2008-10-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061124111331/http://metropolis.co.jp/tokyofeaturestoriesarchive299/252/tokyofeaturestoriesinc.htm |archive-date=24 November 2006 }} As an alternative to the scene hairstyles, many teenage girls in the US and Australasia opted for a preppy hairstyle that involved long, straight hair, side-swept and regular bangs and a side part, while boys wore basic skater hair.{{Cite web|url=https://www.askmen.com/top_10/sports/|title=Top 10 Sports|website=AskMen|access-date=17 September 2019|archive-date=20 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200620042557/https://www.askmen.com/top_10/sports/|url-status=dead}} Many girls wore headbands, headwraps and 80s inspired scrunchies with either a side ponytail or french braid falling over one shoulder.

In between 2006 and 2008, Middle Eastern teenage boys in Australia, namely those of Lebanese descent, acquired the high and tight haircut. Some had the cut with a mullet.

The year 2000, was based on the glittery Y2K inspired makeup of the late 1990s. With the turn of the millennium, the idea was for women to capture a futuristic, space-age style, with makeup including bronze specks for a metallic shine with ecstatic colors. An alternative for those who did not like metallics was a purple and brown color scheme.{{cite news|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/make-up-for-the-year-2000/ |title=Make-Up For The Year 2000 |access-date=25 July 2014 | work=CBS News |date=8 June 1999}} Lip gloss was more popular than lipstick among both women and girls. By the spring/summer season of 2001, this look took a backseat in favor of a more low-maintenance, natural style that showed off ones features. However, the glittery looks continued to be popular.{{cite web|url=http://www.longisland.com/articles/05-31-01/cosmeticmallcoms-summer-beauty-trends-2001.html |title=COSMETICMALL.COM's SUMMER BEAUTY TRENDS 2001 |access-date=26 July 2014}} In 2002, mineral makeup broke into the mainstream with Bare Minerals, a product of Bare Escentuals. This fueled the trend for natural looking makeup, and became the standard of the 2000s. By 2004, the glittery looks had disappeared.

By around 2005/06, retro-styled makeup from the 1940s had made a comeback, such as bright red lips and cat eyes. In the mid and late 2000s, lip gloss remained popular, and the "Smoky Eye" emerged, with more emphasis on eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow. Another emerging trend was a more natural "less is more" approach to makeup around the same time.{{cite web |url=http://beauty.about.com/od/makeuptrickstips/a/beautrend.htm |title=Trends in the Beauty Industry Over the Past 10 Years |access-date=26 July 2014 |archive-date=30 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140730012300/http://beauty.about.com/od/makeuptrickstips/a/beautrend.htm |url-status=dead }} Also around the second half of the decade, there was an increasing amount of emphasis on the perfection of complexions, with illuminators and shimmer products becoming must-have items. In the late 2000s, there was a craze for fake eyelashes, started by Lady Gaga. This resulted in lash tinting, lash extensions, and fake lashes. Makeup styles generally became simpler and more individualistic with the rise of How-to YouTube videos.

The year 2000 featured natural-colored skin as the most desirable, and did not feature many body care trends other than the rise of hair removal, teeth whitening, and anti-aging creams. In the summer of 2001, the sunless tanning trend broke into the mainstream for all genders, prompted by Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera. This included both self-tanners and spray tans. Cosmetic contacts also became more widespread among all genders this year. In 2002, botox was approved for public use and became hugely popular with women and men. By 2009, fake tanning had gone out of style in favor a pale complexion, inspired by the Twilight film.

The 2000s, continued the unisex trend of bikini waxing which had started in the 1990s. Although waxing in general had been popular among women for several years, it was in the 1990s that complete male body hair removal went mainstream.{{cite web |url=http://www.waxing.net/waxing-for-men.html |title=Waxing For Men |access-date=26 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120310114042/http://www.waxing.net/waxing-for-men.html |archive-date=10 March 2012 |url-status=dead }} Being considered suggestive and indecent in the 90s, male waxing became ubiquitous as a result of the metrosexual trend in the early and mid-2000s. Also during this time, it was popular to have a completely clean-shaven face, as if to make one look underage. Male hair removal declined in the late 2000s.

In the early 2000s, navel piercings reached their peak, as did tongue rings. Other popular piercings throughout the decade include labret piercings, nostril piercings, nipple piercings, and eyebrow piercings.
