As the season changes, so do wardrobes around the world, and a big portion of the current shift is featuring Hollister’s new fall line. One popular item seen around the halls of FCHS is the Hollister babydoll top line. Babydoll tops were a popular statement in the early 2000s, and Hollister is just one of many brands that have started to bring back items similar to now-vintage 2000s style clothing.

Brands such as True Religion, Ed Hardy, and Juicy Couture have also made a major comeback this season, perhaps due to their emphasis on the Y2K look, with its emphasis on individuality and focus on camisoles, bootcut jeans, longer sweaters, mini shorts, and baby tees. As a result, some Gen Z’ers are hoping for brands like American Eagle and Aeropostale to pick up those 2000s styles as well. 

Many places, like consignment shops, have gotten popular due to the demand for pieces of clothing from the 2000s. Some feel this has resulted in thrift and consignment shops, such as Goodwill, increasing their prices or selling trendier items on eBay before they ever hit the shelves. 

Some students love Hollister’s new-old-fashioned line and are pleased to see other clothing brands like Old Navy and Pacsun slowly bringing back some of their old styles. 

“I wanted [a baby doll top] so bad, but they sold out so fast,” said senior Ellie Portman.

Others, however, feel that the new Hollister clothes are cheaply made and use inferior materials compared to what can be found in vintage Y2K looks.

“The style is definitely interesting, but it’s not really something I would personally ever wear,” said senior Vanessa Vandevander.

With Hollister’s clothes being the trend inside and outside of the school right now, expect to see a continued focus on the Y2k fashion trend in sweaters as temps start to cool.
