Last year's fashion trends were definitely of the comfort variety: vintage-y jackets, jeans and belts, stretchy velour and cozy scarves.

If ’02 could be defined by one trend, denim would be it. Everyone from
Alexander McQueen to Karl Lagerfeld did denim on the catwalk, and every item from blazers
to pencil skirts were created in denim.
Twill, olive drab, camouflage, and all things army-inspired were hot. Marc
Jacobs-esque Sgt. Pepper jackets were the most stylin’ – with versions made by
Gap and AE, to name a few.
Found on everything from preppy sweaters to hipster scarves, bold stripes were
unbeatable. The best look by far was beyond-cool striped skinny jeans – funky and
completely flattering.
After they were spotted on the Balenciaga runway, everyone wanted a pair
of the decidedly cazsh pants, which looked just as great paired with heels as with flip
flops.
Juicy Couture created them. J.Lo popularized them. Everyone loved them. Perfect
for lounging at home, quick trips to the store, and even movie premieres (if you’re
Jennifer, that is).
Long, chunky, and perfectly cool. This winter, scarves dressed up even the most
boring of outfits and added a polished look to casual styles. Favorites included
pompom-adorned and fringe-detailed.
This chunky gem was the essential jewel of ’02 – the only way to go.
From sleek rings and chic bracelets to eye-catching, show-stopping pendants, turquoise was
just the thing.
Flouncy, embroidered, and lace-trimmed peasant tops were found in every girl’s
wardrobe this year. Paired with everything from lace-up jeans to equally bohemian gypsy
skirts, they were a hit.
All forms were fab: super-wide, massive buckles, rustic coloring, and loads of
fringe, as long as they had a certain aged appeal. Always flawless when worn low on the
hips.
A funky version of the blazer was hotter than hot, perfect for layering.
Don’t forget the oh-so-chic wide-leg trousers and the fresh punk-inspired necktie
(Avril, anyone?).
