Though we're officially in 2022, the vibes are feeling more so 2002—with crochet tops, platform shoes, kitchy jewelry, and big, floppy bucket hats to boot. If that energy isn't for you... Sorry girl, I have nothing for you here.

Arm warmers, detached sleeves—whatever you wanna call them—these babies are back with a vengeance. Slip them on with any fit to give early-aughts energy.   

Even in the winter time, this beachy style slaps. Dresses, sweaters, bras, and more get a whimsical flush with this retro trend.

I never thought I'd be sitting at my computer debating a $100 Crocs purchase, but, then again, nothing about the last two years has been normal. These platforms are just one version of the elevated clog styles on fire for '22.

We're not new to the bucket hat (I've got a whole stack in my closet), but in 2022 they're coming through bigger than ever—literally, tho. Oversized, floppy fur bucket hats are about to be the hottest accessory in the game.

Pelvic cut-outs, cleavage cut-outs, ovary cut-out—ya, it's the season of the random splash of skin. The more unexpected the keyhole, the better.

Something about this vintage-inspired neckline just makes any piece feel at least 2-3x cuter. Idk what it is...

XL bags will come back eventually, but for now, they're getting smaller and smaller. Teeny purses supply enough style to make up for their lack of functionality.

I just added this top to my closet and can personally vouch for its incredible outfit-elevating powers. Even for a girl who exclusively wears neturals, this bright-bright hue adds an explosion color to anything you pair it with.

Don't panic—high-rise jeans aren't going anywhere. We are, however, seeing hip-hugging styles come back with the rest of the early-2000s revival.

The girlies of Euphoria are big fans of sheer everything—it's flirty as hell, gives an edgy kick, but still feels appropriate for biology class.
