21 Things You Wore In 2006 That Will Haunt You Forever

Ah, the 00s. The decade that style forgot. Fashion, however, was booming – just take a look at these 'trendy' items your favourite celebs were wearing in 2006 and try to pretend like you didn't copy them.

1. Long stripy socks that made you look like Dennis The Menace

Damn you, Avril Lavigne.

2. Cowboy boots with dresses

Damn you, Taylor Swift.

3. Leggings under shorts

Let's not get started on everything else that's going on here, Miley.

4. Glitzy Rolling Stones T-shirts

Which might have been fine if you had actually listened to The Stones, which we're sure Mariah Carey had, but really, had you?

5. Ra-ra skirts

Or RiRi skirts, if you like. They were more like belts tbh.

6. Baker boy caps

Hilary Duff knew it wasn’t right, but somehow she thought it was OK to wear this on the red carpet.

7. So. Much. Bodycon.

Don't cha wish your dress was tight like The Pussycat Dolls'?

8. Belts that served absolutely no purpose

WHY, Ashley Tisdale, WHY?!

9. 'Flirty' slogan T-shirts

We always knew Heidi Montag was the cheeky one in The Hills.

10. Ruched satin

Vanessa Hudgens was totally our prom vibe.

11. Playboy errrrythang

Holly, Bridget and Kendra were your icons.

12. These gloves

Damn you, Avril Lavigne.

13. These sunglasses

Willy Wonka eat yo' heart out. Oh, no, wait: it's Paris Hilton.

14. Camo combat trousers

Totally bringing these back. With sequins. If they're good enough for Beyoncé…

15. A trilby

Hopefully not with this dress. Soz, Britney.

16. An intense faux glow

Fake tan was everyone's favourite accessory in 2006, not least Victoria Beckham's.

17. Your best 'going out' top

Always with jeans and either ballet flats or a kitten heel. Scarlett Johansson knows.

18. This particular print, as modelled by J-Lo

Try not to be distracted by the fact that J-Lo hasn't aged a day in 10 years.

19. Brown over-the-knee boots

They should have been called over-the-jeans boots, right, Jessica Simpson?

20. A giant flower somewhere on your person

Kelly Osbourne loved 'em in her hair.

21. Your less popular friend as an accessory

2006: a time when Paris Hilton was far more famous than Kim Kardashian. #NeverForget.
