8 Trends From ‘Laguna Beach’ We’d Totally Still Wear Today

Are y’all ready to feel old? Yesterday–exactly 10 years agoLaguna Beach premiered its first-ever episode on MTV. That’s right: in 2004, Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari, Stephen Colletti, Lo Bosworth, and the rest of their Cali crew bravely broadcast their teenage lives for the entire world to see, but TBH, us style nerds could only focus on one thing: THOSE. OUTFITS. You might remember tons of mid-2000s mini skirts, halters, and capris, but looking back, we realized we’d actually still wear some of these trends today. Seriously! Check out 8 Laguna Beach looks we’d totally sport in 2014.

CHOKERS

Wowowow. This whole K-Cav outfit is speaking to us so hard. In case you haven’t been around humans/on Tumblr in the last few years, the ’90s are back in full force, and chokers are making a serious comeback. This summer goth look is absolute perfection, and, dang, are we even loving her frosted lip?! #confused #halp

BACKWARDS SNAPBACKS

Man, we thought we were cool for rockin’ the snapback since 2012, but it looks like Stephen totally had us beat back in ’05.

SHIRTS TIED AROUND THE WAIST

OK, so our 2014 version of shirts-around-the-waist trend is definitely more grunge and less preppy (as seen on Jared Leto!), but we gotta give it up to Lo for being 10 years ahead of her time.

OFF-THE-SHOULDER TOPS

Yep, we’d totally wear LC’s ’90s-inspired off-the-shoulder top RN, but, you know, minus the trucker hat. OK, all three trucker hats.

PLASTIC GLASSES

Do we even need to explain this one? See: all of Brooklyn.

DENIM JACKETS

Lucky for us (and everyone), distressed denim jackets still haven’t gone out of style. Honestly, if we saw Alex in this outfit today, we wouldn’t even bat an eye.

SMOKY EYES

We’re totally feeling this smudgy, metallic smoky eye look Kristin has going on here. Girl, can you whip up a quick tutorial for us commoners ASAP, please? Thaaanks.

MIDI DRESSES

Dudes, look at what Kristin wore to prom–a simple-yet-dressy coral midi dress that is so on-trend today. Um, why did no one tell us to skip the poofy gowns?
