There's perhaps no single accessory that holds more power to transform a look than a chain belt. The throwback trend has never really gone "out" per se, but it is now more popular than ever thanks to its ability to zhoosh up everything from a simple dress to jeans.

While the lingerie-inspired look is nothing new, we'd be lying if we didn't say that this sultry trend is at the top of our shopping lists this year. It's already an alluring top, and with new versions of the staple including everything from underwire busts and puff sleeves to bold patterns and cozier fabrics, this trend is too spicy not to try.

Big blazers are the throwback trend that never seems to die down, no matter how many new suiting styles pop up (nor do we want them to). The '80s silhouettes featuring oversize shapes and padded shoulders are simply too easy to wear and too versatile to ever lose favor with the fashion crowd.

Designer labels such as Prada and Louis Vuitton, whose early-aughts versions first put this handbag silhouette on the sartorial map, are bubbling up once again among a certain subset of cool girls like Devon Lee Carlson and Camille Charriere, and their social media feeds are peppered with vintage bowling bags.

Prada put distressed leather jackets on its recent runways, and while the lived-in leather is now popping up everywhere from Zara to Net-a-Porter, old-school vintage jackets offer the same look from years of wear and tear.

With all things Y2K and late '90s trending hard, chunky platform shoes are officially "it." While plenty of secondhand options exist in the market currently, luxury labels such as Valentino are putting a modern-day spin on the lifted look.

From Kendall Jenner to Margot Robbie, celebs are seriously endorsing tailored vests. They also happen to be a great avenue for tackling the suiting trend, as they're ideal for layering under a blazer or over a T-shirt or turtleneck.

Naturally, it wouldn't be a story about reviving older trends if we didn't cover a hotly debated one: early-aughts denim. The stylish set on Instagram is confirming our suspicions that we're headed toward a complete Y2K-denim takeover, starting with baggy-fit jeans.
