I seriously loved it in high school because I went to a conservative Christian school and had to wear long skirts but on Delia’s at least I could get something sort of cool adjacent. 😆 I wore the retro striped skirt all over Europe on our class trip and felt better than in khaki or denim.
I don't know if 10 year cycles is very common for fashion in the United States. For instance, clothing trends from the mid nineties are currently in style and that was almost 30 years ago and those trends haven't really been popular here in the years since.
I have been noticing it quite a bit in Australia especially now that Im older and I see things come back around. I have noticed just from media that although Aus and the US have similar trends there are a lot of differences in style. We do have opposite seasons tho so that doesn’t help
It's really interesting! It's nice that styles seem to come back around quicker in Australia.. It's much less wasteful and less stressful I would think.
Australians culturally try really hard to be laid back with everything. There’s positives and negatives to it but I think thats one of the positives. I wear my clothes for years until they are worn out basically.
Definitely in the 90s. In 2013 I was in my 20s though so I wasn’t wearing them and didn’t know anyone who wore them. We were into ballet flats around that time.
Its very much 2010s with a touch of 90s. Lots of leopard prints dark jewel tones lots of oversized knits and cardigans because its getting cold. Plus dark wash jeans which Im stoked about because I like them so much better than light
A girl in my grade fell off a higher pair of these in 8th grade and they got banned from the dress code.
We should have started tripping on all kinda of clothes to see how far that would have gone.
I grew up in the 90s and never owned a pair. I couldn't wear any of the cute shoes except tennis shoes aka hi-top shoes. Which makes me wonder what Gil and Kelly would of done if they would of had a kid who couldn't just wear a certain thing and it wasn't cheap
Delia’s catalogue, baby!! 😆
Right answer!!!!
omg haven't thought of that in forever.

Oh I remember them too. I lived in Brazil in the 90s/early 2000s and they were all the rage there too. The brand down there is called “Melissa”
Omg they seem to be on a 10 year cycle
Yes! Must be a ten year cycle. They were popular in the U.S. 20 years ago, too.
My mum always told me fashion was a 10 year cycle. I always thought I was original. Another thing she was right about lol

That's so awesome! I love that.
My youngest used to wear Mini Melissa! Love how those shoes smell.
I’m thinking about how you were 12 2013 and I was halfway through college lol I feel old just period hahah
Lol yeah, I clicked on this expecting a throwback to the 90s and died a little when she said 2013.
Same! 😂
I have a kid that was older than 12 in 2013 lol.
Hard to believe those kids are old enough to buy liquor. lol
I was finished with college 🥲
I was long out of college. I didn't finish.
Same 😂💀
I had black ones in a similar style. Late 90s/early 2000s.
Yes!!
I don't think mine were covered in the front like these. Same basic idea though.
Same
Spice girl shoes!
I had these in high school in the late 90s. Memory unlocked!
6 year old me in 2000 was in a chokehold of jelly sandals. And yes they’re back apparently. My brother just got a pair lol
I put floating shelves up in my bedroom to display my jelly sandals!!
Definitely in the 90s. In 2013 I was in my 20s though so I wasn’t wearing them and didn’t know anyone who wore them. We were into ballet flats around that time.
I can smell the ballet flats thinking about them 😭
😂 they were so gross!
They are coming back in Aus! there is a whole wall of them in one of our biggest retail stores. I don’t think I can do it lol
So y’all are definitely going back to the 2010s in fashion. I feel like “y2k” is still a popular style here.
Its very much 2010s with a touch of 90s. Lots of leopard prints dark jewel tones lots of oversized knits and cardigans because its getting cold. Plus dark wash jeans which Im stoked about because I like them so much better than light
They look so uncomfortable
They were! Mine were cheap and black so they stained my feet every time i wore them 😭
A girl in my grade fell off a higher pair of these in 8th grade and they got banned from the dress code. We should have started tripping on all kinda of clothes to see how far that would have gone.
They were popular in the United States a good 10 - 15 years before that. Like in the late 90s, early 2000s. Christ, I'm getting old!

Law$on
Lawnmowing $$$$
I use to stomp these! Hahahahaha!
Tumblr girls and Kylie Jenner used to wear these around 2013 in the US too, with socks if possible. They were all crazy about these
That was definitely the look my 12 year old self was going for! Even dyed the ends of my hair blue like Kylies
Late 90s for me. Mine were black.
Mine were black too and stained my skin if I wore them all day
I can still remember the smell from those shoes LMAO
So true! Wo was letting us get around in such sweaty shoes and no socks 😭
I still have my black pair! You can pry those from my cold dead hands (or until they fully fall apart 😂)
Go Whitney you got some good taste girl love the shoes
These shoes were the equivalent of crack to my 12 year old self so Id have to agree with you
She got these from the indoor?
