Sartorially speaking, no colour-fabric combination harks back to the turn off the century quite like mocha-coloured jersey; the plainer, less-sexier sister-hue to black. Back in the day, if this Y2K<\/a> shade was spotted on a Supr\u00e9 rack in the form of a plunging, backless mini \u2013 with<\/em> a diamant\u00e9 buckle \u2013 that piece of jersey was worth its (light)weight in gold. Or at least AUD $45.<\/p>\n

Hair up (so as to show your back\u2019s nakedness), hoops (because Jenny From The Block told you so) and you were ready to slink and drape your way into a bluelight disco, backed by your loyal tribe of girlfriends all in numbers not dissimilar to your own.<\/p>\n

Bella Hadid<\/a> often stops me dead in my Instagram scroll. But today, this image of her almost brought a tear to my eye. A nostalgia washed over me as I remembered the runway walk I mastered as a teen as I entered a party wearing a dress like this one. I would envisage my crush stopping to stare in the same way Zack Siler (Freddie Prinze Jr.) did as Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook) walked down the stairs in 1999 film She\u2019s All That<\/em><\/a>. (The confidence on me was almost rude \u2013 where did it go?)<\/p>\n
