I would love an episode on 2000s/2010s “boho hippie chic” aesthetic with Coachella, music festivals, and tumblr on the rise. Not enough content on this phenomenon 😭
I remember in 2008 the song Disturbia was everywhere by Rihanna. And I also remember watching the recession essentially kick off while I was finishing my education in Australia and thinking darn when I go back to Canada, it’s going to be rough. And it was it was a solid six months of just applying for jobs as if it was a full-time job.
I was in highschool in 2009 in the UK and I remember girls being plastered in much too orange makeup to match their fake tans. Looking back it makes sense, people couldn't afford to go on expensive foreign holidays where they could get a tan, so the fake tan became a way of almost 'pretending' they had gone on holiday because they're families could afford it and we all just sort of deluded ourselves on a societal level that we had when there was very little chance of that being the case. Fascinating from a sociological perspective. 😂
The 2008-2010 "neon" 80s revival period VERY MUCH resembled the transitional pre-grunge era from 1989-1991. Neon print on black, paint splatter everything, and so on.
I remember being in high school around that time and a lot of my older cousins that were born in the 70s said the exact same thing about how all of the fashion looks very late 80s/early 90s
My ex husband is 32 he has an abercrombe t-shirt he's had for nearly 20 years... things genuinely where also just made different with higher quality materials before the 2008 recession
27:09 Why were ‘early’ skinny jeans so long? Likely because the clothing companies were used to making jeans that had an inseam that went to the bottom of your feet instead of your our ankles. I don’t think that clothing companies shortened inseams to match the shift until later. I’m only a few months younger than Jenna, and when skinny jeans came out it was the first time pants were long enough for my very long legs. As someone who purchases jeans where inseams are listed, the inseam I buy in skinny jeans is about 4 inches shorter than what I would purchase in slacks or boot cut pants. This makes sense based on where I need the hem to hit me. Hope this makes the bunched up skinny jeans make more sense, as when sizes do not come in different inseams and the company does not account for skinny jeans being ankle length instead of floor length, many people would find themselves with extra fabric on their jeans!
Thank you for this episode! I'm working on a story set partially in 2009 and the characters of my story are graduating then. 2009 was my freshman year of high school and I definitely remember a lot of these trends
I remember looking so long for a pair of grey skinnies just like Kate Moss had. When skinny jeans finally were widely available they stayed around for so long I almost thought they were a "classic" style now, if you know what I mean. And then the tides finally shifted massively and tbh I still can't see them coming back any time soon. I loved the video! I think it would also be cool if you could include a few pictures of the trends you're referring to, since they weren't the same all over the world. But I understand that's a lot more work, so I'm happy either way.
I remember trying to find a dress for a school dance and being so annoyed that every dress I liked the look of had a bloody bubble hem when I actually took it off the hanger 😂
Does anyone else remember seeing dresses with tucked/puckered skirts in prom catalogs? Like weird little scrunches of fabric scattered across a field of satin. I thought they were the most amazingly ugly thing.
@@ElorauroraIn 2008? I don’t remember that, but maybe if you knew the name for it I could google it and then be shocked to see that it’s probably cool again😂
I had a tiny, zip up hooded jacket around this time. It was lime green and I ADORED it. No idea what happened to it, but it was excellent for layering!
Ahh, I remember my ex gf doing the long t shirt over tights, with flats, her hair in an extreme emo tease, and the colored lipstick she wore. It made high school a bit more interesting. I can't say I look back fondly on my long "emo" hair, skinny jeans, or band tees.
I was high school class of 2006, so I remember all of this well (was at the bars with an ID that may not have been entirely legit lol). It was so fun to listen to you reminiscing about all of this!
oh my gosh i remember those big,chucky, plastic necklaces .. tunic tops w belts & cropped leggings , w black peep toe shoes .. ha.. i thought i was killing it …. the big statement necklaces was something too!!! love that kinda fashion .. everything now is so blah looking .. too much neutral colors
I wish I was a college student in the late 00s/early 10s. I was in first/second grade in 2008, so I didn’t get the full experience of the times. It was a fun and nostalgic era for my childhood.
I had a pink/giraffe print knockoff bag with a big rhinestone cross and accents and a big black shiny purse with rhinestone buckle and accents. They were heavy! 😂
I remember buying the majority of my clothes at forever 21 and H&M. Alot of stuff on clearance for $5! I know the quality was terrible but I was so broke and so young! lmao I now have a limited income at 35 because of this terrible economy but I will stay away from fast fashion.
I had a Kathy Van Zeeland purse sent to me during the holidays from my relatives. It was huge, had the logo all over, and a charm keychain. I sadly sold it to Plato's. It was very over the top. 🤣
I'm a bit younger than you so all of my teenage clothes were that super cheap stuff. But we need to talk about how the low quality stuff of that time is the same quality as the middle market quality of today, the cheap stuff today is literally disintegrating on the hanger at the store.
I helped open the Juicy Couture flagship on 5th avenue in 2008 and worked there until 2010. And most of the business was all tourists & celebrities. The prices were outrageous, the only things truly accessible was the charm bracelets & perfume. I remmeber when stephanie Pratt came in the store i almost froze by how pretty she was in real life.
GIRL i had every butt pocket design memorized, mens n womens lmao. I used to walk around w my friends and be like those are hollister, those are abercrombie n fitch! It was like a game who could id the most jeans
I still have questions for and about the tunic tops to this day. 😂 for real, was it a top or a short shirt DRESS LOL! And I am emotionally attached to the skinny jeans still, I REALLY want to branch out but it’s impossible lol (dramatic)
I honestly wouldn’t cringe if the bright colored skinny jeans came back and I predict gen alpha will bring it back in some form in 10+ years 👀😂 everything else can stay in 2008, it was awful! 😂
Low was iconic. It still played at the clubs in the mid-late 2010s when I was there 😂 The accessory at my high school was a neon tote bag you were given when you bought anything at supré! It began in the late 2000s and lasted into the 2010s. It was great, you could just buy socks and you would get the MUST HAVE accessory!!! At least 9/10 people had them and used it as their bag for their sport uniforms. You had to be bulletproof to trends to use anything else. Having the original colour became a status symbol! I still remember the day when my strict parents finally let me get something from supré 🥲 I was so excited!!!!

Yesss there definitely was this hipster movement, especially with Live journal communities at the time, psychedelic folk went mainstream for awhile
Yesss

I understand it’s a podcast but I would LOVE personal photos or pictures of the fashion elements you discuss.
I have tons of this on other socials but I post a photo dump for each episode on IG @jennatalksinclass 😊
Omg bubble hem dresses were everywhere at the high school dances in 2008. I remember my homecoming that year saw so many girls wearing them

This was such a trip down memory lane

Same! 😂

the big statement necklaces was something too!!!
love that kinda fashion .. everything now is so blah looking .. too much neutral colors
I was 18 in 2008 and Kesha was just coming out with tick tok! Incredible.
The only tik tok that should ever have existed. 🫤
Love this reflection on 2008! I turned 21 that year too.
I wish I was a college student in the late 00s/early 10s. I was in first/second grade in 2008, so I didn’t get the full experience of the times. It was a fun and nostalgic era for my childhood.

I had an entire collection of $5 bodycon skirts from F21. It was actually pretty wild how cheap everything was
This was such a throwback to my high school years 😂 definitely going to check out the other videos you mentioned
I would say 2008-09 was the huge rise of VS pink.
I had a Kathy Van Zeeland purse sent to me during the holidays from my relatives. It was huge, had the logo all over, and a charm keychain. I sadly sold it to Plato's. It was very over the top. 🤣
I had a couple that I adored, my favorite was fake gator in like a burgundy magenta 🤣
Jenna, you look so pretty in this video! I’d love to know more about your skincare and makeup products!!! Please do a video on them!!
Thank you! I have a recent video on my makeup routine on IG and TikTok but maybe I’ll post it here too 😊
@@jennaabarclay Thank you!!!

Scrunchies are back! Or they never went away for me lol
Happy belated Birthday, sending best wishes
You are a Millennial Queen. I hope you are doing great
GIRL i had every butt pocket design memorized, mens n womens lmao. I used to walk around w my friends and be like those are hollister, those are abercrombie n fitch! It was like a game who could id the most jeans
There was nothing like entering college/graduating in 2009. the perfect time.
I was in middle school and went through the Emo MySpace scene era it was so cringe. Still love the music though!
NOT you leaving the milleanial pause at the beginning 😭
I still have questions for and about the tunic tops to this day. 😂 for real, was it a top or a short shirt DRESS LOL! And I am emotionally attached to the skinny jeans still, I REALLY want to branch out but it’s impossible lol (dramatic)

You are so pretty ❤
Hi!
hiii
Meanwhile in the uk😂
Oh god, the fashions were bloody hideous during that time, not even the school uniforms could save us from the 'just been Tangoed' look😂
Sweater dresses
