It's hard to believe that 2014 - the year of snapchat filters, Solange throwing hands, and the emergence of the influencer - was ten years ago.
A decade later, 2014 trends are pulling up to the present.
Fashion trends traditionally go through a 20 year cycle, starting off with mass popularity and then fading away until they are considered vintage enough to be reinvented again.
The 20 year timeline has decreased by half due to the advent of fast fashion and social media in the last few years.
Faster than ever, new trends become old, and fashion has cycled back to the year of 2014.
Here are five throwback trends you can expect to make a fun comeback this summer.
1.Electric Strands
From Rihanna’s iconic short neon pink hair to “King Kylie” signature blue ombre ends, hairstyles were unapologetically bold and bright in this era of the 2010s.
Recently, both Rihanna and Kylie embraced their past viral moments.
Back in January, Kylie kicked off the 2014 trend talk by posting a selfie with pink hair, reminiscent of her OG Instagram baddie days.
Last week, Rihanna popped out with bubblegum pink hair that was impossible to miss at A$AP Rocky’s Puma collaboration event.
Trying out a brighter hair color is the perfect way to get you in vacay mode. Would you rock a bold color this summer?
2. Iridescent Designs
The Y2K era was all about celebration of the turn of the century with flashy glitz and glamor. Glitter from the rockstar styles of the 80s, twenty years earlier, went perfect with this aesthetic.
A little less than two decades later, sparkles and sequins came back as a major player in the 2010s and are starting to make their way back into modern fashion in more refined ways.
Sequins are the perfect way to stand out glittering all night under club lights this summer.
Zendaya rocked two shimmery dresses on her recent press tour for “Challengers”, styled by Law Roach.
Sealing the deal on the trend, the Met Gala red carpet was studded with stars in shiny dresses this year, including Venus Williams, Gabrielle Union and JLo.
3.Lovely Lace
Lace skater dresses were one of the biggest and most surprising trends in 2014, bringing a bohemian vibe to the otherwise quirky and edgy decade.
This style was the predecessor of the many 60s and 70s influences that were soon to follow in fashion, such as iconic Coachella styles from that era.
Dainty white lace fabrics have been seen on nearly every Spring/Summer 2024 runway from Valentino to Michael Kors.
Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner both recently popped out in all white lace ensembles.
The recent cultural infatuation with Western and cowboy culture in both fashion and music is a key influence on bringing this trend back today.
4.Transparent Elegance
See-through looks have been growing in popularity for the last couple of years through a variety of aesthetics.
Girly coquette styles with bows and sheer tights have reigned on social media for the last few years due to an influx of COVID-induced nostalgia.
In 2014, form-fitting sheer panel dresses were the go-to look for every occasion if you wanted to show off some skin.
Sheer fabrics are now emerging in more revealing ways in an edgier direction, with dark colors and form-fitting silhouettes, returning to roots in many 2014 bodycon styles.
Beyonce stunned in a Dolce & Gabbana sheer lace dress with semi-sheer side panels to promote ‘Cowboy Carter’ back in February with matching lace gloves.
5. Daring Down Under
The bodycon, the unofficial club uniform of the era, was a more provocative evolution of the preppy business casual club look that was popular earlier in the decade.
In 2014, mesh panels giving the illusion of barely-there fabric were often being paired with bold undergarments intentionally shown underneath.
The modern adaptation of undergarments as outer garments uses the under layer to sculpt and show off the figure often underneath a flowy dress.
Beyonce showed off her shape with a black corset and garter underneath a Dolce & Gabbana lace dress for her Valentine’s day outfit.
Doja Cat recently rocked a similar style with her Met Gala looks, making a statement on the red carpet by showing it all off in barely-there Vetements ensembles.
