As we enter 2024, we’re sure to see loads of new trends popping up left and right, from parlor style to the ongoing popularity of red shoes. If you love a nostalgic moment, one of the biggest trends emerging this year is the return of 2010s fashion. It’s back and better than ever (in our opinion), and we truly can’t wait to see how it gets a new life to fit the 2020s. From Rihanna to Paris Hilton, Bella Hadid, and so many more A-listers, the 2010s was a time for creative silhouettes, unapologetic statements, and larger-than-life colors. If you miss the decade as much as we do, you’ll be happy to see how many motifs are making a comeback—and if the thought makes you uneasy, know that these revivals feel fresh rather than cringey. Keep scrolling to see eight of the top 2010s fashion trends coming back this season, complete with our favorite shopping picks.
About the Trend
As the name suggests, 2010s fashion encompasses everything that happened just after the Y2K movement, but what truly defined the decade was that fashion people weren’t afraid to experiment. From Jeffrey Campbell’s iconic Lita platform boots (sorry, these are staying in the 2010s) to peplum tops (which are making a comeback), high-end dad sneakers (did they ever go out of style?), and so much more, the 2010s was home to plenty of athleisure and hipster fashion alike. If you weren’t saving up for a flashy, logo-covered designer bag, you were likely searching for the trucker hat you saw your favorite celeb wearing in a tabloid.
As we enter 2024, we’re seeing some popular 2010s trends return to keep things feeling fresh after a few years of early aughts dominance. But this time, they’re new and improved: no need to recreate the bold yet dated looks buried deep in your Instagram grid. Scroll on for eight of the top 2010s trends making a comeback this season, plus how to recreate them for the modern age.
The Best 2010s Trends to Try
Crop Tops
Crop tops have been popular for decades (and never really went away), but it wasn’t until the 2010s that they really hit the mainstream. While crop tops need the right occasion and styling to work, we think that choosing a great one is sure to make you look pretty unstoppable. Whether you’re pairing it with low-rise jeans to show off lots of midriff or are going for more of a subtle look with high-waisted trousers, we don’t plan on getting rid of our crop top collections any time soon.

Heart Necklaces
Statement necklaces were the leading trend of the 2010s, and while we don’t foresee the look hitting the same level this year, we do think we’ll see some statement necklaces—specifically in the shape of hearts. This sweet trend was a favorite of seemingly every celebrity, and we think it’s a fun way to add a pop to any outfit.

Skinny Jeans
Ahh, skinny jeans: You either love them or you hate them. If you’re an avid follower of trends, we’re willing to bet you got rid of your skinny jeans a few years ago—so let this be a note to never throw out all of your old clothes. We predict that this silhouette is going to make a comeback in the near future, but likely styled a bit differently. Think button-downs, loafers, and blazers, as opposed to baggy tees and Chelsea boots.

Luxe Athleisure
Even though we adore getting all dolled up to go out, there’s truly nothing better than being comfortable and at ease. What’s so great about athleisure making a comeback is that it’s more on the luxe side, so instead of wearing ratty old sweatpants and tees, the tides are turning towards more matching sets, tracksuits, and quality materials. You just can't beat that effortless yet put-together feeling.

Trucker Hats
Large-brimmed hats were huge in the 2010s, and while we think that’s mostly going to stay in the past (at least for now), one hat trend making a resurgence from the decade is the trucker hat. Another Y2K fave that transitioned into the 2010s, it seemed to hide in the back of our closets for a few years, but now it’s back and here to stay. This is the ideal accessory to throw on when you’re having a bad hair day, and you can pair it with all sorts of ensembles whether you want to lean casual or streetwear-chic.

Logos on Logos
Designer fashion for the masses truly took off in the 2010s, and everyone was adamant about letting those around them know they had dropped cash on their pieces. The exact opposite of quiet luxury, logos are on their way back, but maybe not quite in the way you think. While high-end designers will certainly be at the forefront, we think we’re going to see lots of brands offer their take on this 2010s trend.

Reimagined Peplum
We truly never thought we would see the day that peplum made a comeback, and while we're seeing nothing like the styles that were everywhere circa 2012, we are going to see some peplum-inspired silhouettes. Instead of a dramatic piece of flared fabric, today's peplum is a bit more subtle, and we’re honestly pretty obsessed.

Dad Shoes
Last, but certainly not least, chunky dad sneakers are making a comeback. They were prevalent in the ‘90s and again in the early 2010s, and now, they’re here to stay (at least for now). While once deemed a nerdy sneaker, the dad shoe is actually super versatile, comfortable, and sure to get you lots of compliments.
