If the return of 90s fashions (think slip dresses and choker necklaces) struck fear into your heart, brace yourself for the next big thing: noughtstalgia.Yep, the decade that brought us hipster jeans, halterneck tops and kitten heels is coming to a store near you.
It was the best of times and the worst of times — Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey gave us our first reality TV obsession, Kim Kardashian was Paris Hilton's PA and velour tracksuits were acceptable beyond the confines of your living room. Now the noughties are back, the only question is, will you embrace them the second-time around? To help you decide we've pulled together some iconic styles making a comeback, so pop on some Pussycat Dolls, pour yourself a Cosmopolitan and step back in time to discover whether you're ready to do it all over again.
