The 2010s Style Revival Is Here

It was only a matter of time. After years of ‘90s and Y2K trends dominating the fashion zeitgeist, the once-cringed-at style staples of the 2010s seem to be staging an official comeback, forcing millennials everywhere to relive the days of sepia-toned Instagram filters and “aesthetic” Tumblr girls.

Beginning with the quiet return of the skinny jean (although for some, the controversial tight trousers never really left), the resurgence continued with the recent push towards anti-“clean girl” messy glam makeup. The movement seemed to come to a head just this past weekend, with none other than Kylie Jenner’s notorious King Kylie persona making her triumphant return after a decade—dip-dyed turquoise strands and all.

If you’re getting Jelena-era war flashbacks of galaxy leggings, infinity scarves and deep side parts, you can take a breath—this 2010s revival comes with a much-welcome 2020s edit. Think of it less as an exact replica of those Coachella-era boho chic days and more as a grown-up reinterpretation of the decade’s timeless, well-loved and, dare we even say, most-missed styles.

Behold, the top 2010s fashion trends making waves with modern makeovers.

Arm Party

If you have an eye for accessories, you may have noticed a familiar maximalist trend making its way down the Spring 2026 runways (to be fair, it was kind of hard to miss). That’s right, the notorious arm-party trend of stacked statement bracelets and eye-catching cuffs is making a serious return, with bulbous bubble bangles at PatBo and dangly gold chains at Celine boldly leading the charge.

Yet the most exciting take on the unmistakably-2010s style actually wasn’t created with traditional accessories at all. Instead, designer Stella Novarino of Stella Jean captured the true extravagance of the look by contrasting a simple white maxi dress with a solid bejewelled cuff of colourful, semi-precious stones that extended up from the model’s forearm to mid-bicep. One thing’s for certain: this stack would’ve undoubtedly ruled any 2014 Instagram explore page.

The Peekaboo Bra

We’re longtime exposed-bra experts here at FASHION. The latest resurgence of the semi-scandalous trend is glaringly reminiscent of the infamous lingerie tops that were basically synonymous with 2010s Coachella-going fashion. In 2025, though, the fad has far extended from music festivals to red carpets, with celebs like Doechii and Kristen Stewart both sporting the look. Stewart gets bonus points for styling her midriff-baring top with another early 2010s staple: suspenders.

The look is being reinvented on the runway, too. Miu Miu, Simone Rocha, Givenchy and even Chanel all highlighted the trendy undergarment in their 2025 collections (brb—adding ‘tweed bra’ to my holiday wishlist).

The Bandage Dress

As someone who was too young to fully experience 2010s fashion in all its glamorous, bodycon-fueled glory, this is the trend I’m personally most excited to see make a return. Once a red carpet staple beloved by the likes of Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, the figure-hugging bandage dress is gaining new attention thanks to Gen Z’s infatuation with the party-girl style.

These days, modern ‘It girls’ like Hailey Bieber and Alix Earle have been sporting the iconic ensemble, while Gen Z-approved brands like House of CB and Aritizia have launched several bandage designs of their own. Even Hervé Léger, arguably the most memorable purveyor of the look in the early ‘90s and 2000s, is heavily promoting the style again. Maybe it’s ironic, nostalgic or a bit of both, but in an era where nightlife is dying, the bandage dress redux couldn’t have come at a better time.

The Peplum Top

There’s no doubt about it; the peplum top is back like never before. Though there is fair reason to be wary of the sometimes overly voluminous silhouette (eternally immortalized as the unofficial uniform of 2010s business casual clubwear), its modern-day iteration emphasizes its best billowy traits without being over-the-top. Case in point: the structured and sophisticated designs recently seen across Khaite, Stella McCartney and Sacai‘s Spring 2026 runways that showcased the flouncy top with fresh hemlines.

Plus, today’s version is often styled alongside baggy pants and flowy skirts that play up the shirt’s larger-than-life persona. But if you’re still tempted to pair it with ankle-cuffed skinny jeans and a chunky statement necklace à là 2013, we won’t stop you—consider it archival styling at its boldest.
