The 2000s Are Back in Full Force—Here’s How to Nail That Hollister-Inspired Look Today

Quinn Parker here—your favorite over-caffeinated, nostalgia-obsessed, fashion-forward auntie who just discovered TikTok trends and is *not* slowing down. If you’re hearing phrases like “low-rise jeans,” “baby doll tops,” and “Hollister vault collection” and getting instant flashbacks to your middle school locker combo, trust your gut: the 2000s are officially back and *not* messing around.

Let’s rewind real quick—remember when your AIM away message was more poetic than your English essays? When you layered camis over baby tees like it was a lifestyle choice, not just a fashion one? When you and your squad would hit up the mall’s pretzel stand post-Hollister haul and feel like full-on style icons? Yeah, that era is back with a vengeance, and brands are *crushing* it with the nostalgia.

Hollister, of all places, is leading the charge with its limited-edition 2000s Vault Collection. And no, you didn’t hallucinate that—yes, *Hollister*. The brand that once smelled like a candle store and felt like a secret club is now serving up vintage-inspired fits that are *so* early aughts it hurts. From tie-back tops to zip-up hoodies and micro-mini denim skirts, they’ve got every throwback piece you never knew you needed until now.

Low-rise jeans, which are officially the most popular denim silhouette of the year, are back in a *huge* way. And not just any low-rise jeans—think floral embroidery on the back pockets, distressed detailing, and bootcut silhouettes that scream early 2000s prom photos. Whether you’re a purist or just dipping your toe into the trend, Hollister’s got options from size 000 to 20 so everyone can get in on the action.

And let’s talk about baby doll tops. These little numbers are *everywhere*, and honestly, they’re kind of magical. They cinch at the waist, come in eight different patterns, and yes, they go up to XXL. If you’re feeling nostalgic and fashion-forward, this is your moment. Pair one with a cardigan for that effortless layered look—because let’s be real, we all had that one cable-knit v-neck we wore on repeat.

Zip-up hoodies? Check. Denim mini skirts? Check. Tie-back tops that make you feel like you’re in a *Holliday Graffiti* ad? Double check. Hollister’s current lineup is basically a time machine to 2005, and we are *here* for it. Even better? These pieces are available *now*, so you don’t have to wait for a restock or fight over a drop.

And if you’re thinking, “This is all so cute but where do I even start?” don’t worry—I’ve got you. The E! Insider Shop editors have already combed through the racks, tested the fits, and rounded up the best of the best vintage-inspired pieces that’ll make you feel like you just stepped out of a time capsule. They interview experts, read reviews, and actually *try* the clothes so you don’t have to.

So go ahead—embrace the 2000s. Reclaim the trends. Wear that denim mini with confidence. And if someone side-eyes your low-rise jeans, just smile and say, “I’m ahead of the curve.” Because in 2025, being fashion-forward means looking back.

Whew! That was a LOT to unpack—but hey, I could talk about this all day.
