S5E4: Foolin’
Aired: 2005
As we often do, we wrap up this episode with Toby. Even though he has spiked hair and baggy clothes, he still looks like a nerd somehow. But yeah his style is a nice example of a neutral 2000s norm – where as JT is much more preppy.

Aired: 2005
Oh great, it’s Manny’s awesome dad again. He’s dressed in a very out-of-place looking shirt. It’s probably meant to look like it came from Value Village, to again show how hardworking and frugal Joseph is. And, ya know, just to generally contrast with Manny wanting to be expressive with her appearance. Tension.

Aired: 2005
INTRODUCING Peter Stone. Wow. Well, here we are folks. Look, not gonna lie, Peter was kinda cute at the beginning. In this like, overprivileged preppy boy way. I think he was well-cast. I don’t know how they let him turn into such a slobby looking guy later. But anyway, I also have huge issues with this character, besides the obvious. First of all, he’s one of the most inconsistent characters ever on this show. But let’s get into this current Peter. Umm, like, can we explore why we never get the REASON for his bizarre actions? Why exactly is he doing this? I do love the whole “creepy-guy-who-likes-to-photograph-beautiful-women-as-if-he’s-collecting-their-souls” thing. I know some of those guys in real life. It’s a thing, and it’s perplexing. They should have played into that more – and I’m glad that he did it again for consistency’s sake. And yeah, Peter being a pervert is totally believable – but even then, they didn’t really depict that as being the reason for his “movie”. And we also aren’t really shown answers. WHY leak the video? What was the thought process behind that? What was he trying to gain? WHY no repercussions? WHYYYYYYY did everyone just brush it off and decide Peter was fine? That’s insane. But yeah, when I watch early Peter, I wonder, “what’s his deal?” and I can’t figure out an answer.
Ugh, I could go on about this forever. But let’s move on. Peter is riding the last wave of spiky hair being acceptable on men (RIP). He dresses in button downs, polos, and casual khakis, just looking like a total prep!

Jimmy is dressing up a bit more. First he’s in this grey v-neck sweater with crisp keans and white shoes. Then he’s in a beige long-sleeve polo of horizontal stripes.

Aired: 2005
Ugh. This is where things get really disappointing. Dylan is in college now, and turns out he’s not such a fan of monogamy after all. Thing is, he failed to have a conversation with Marco about it. I remember in the preview for this episode, they showed Dylan in bed with this guy. Freakin earth-shattering! He’s got his hair big, he looks pretty athletic in this striped polo, and ugh he’s just sickening me at this party encouraging Marco to go get his own side piece. Hard to even talk about the fashion right now.

S4E18: Modern Love
Aired: 2005
Chester is interesting enough I guess. I kind of like the dynamic of him playfully messing with Emma, because literally nobody does that. Because she’s so uptight. But Chester doesn’t care! First he’s seen in his navy short sleeve button down and jeans. Then he’s playing with his hot brothers in a grey graphic tee. And finally, he’s wearing a preppy getup of a brown sweater over a yellow collared shirt with dark khakis… or are these corduroys?

S4E17: Queen of Hearts
Aired: 2005
Hazel is wearing her hair down, with a little bit of a red color to it. First she wears a deep v blouse with a cami underneath. Then she’s for a horizontally striped rainbow shirt, and her brows are nice and 2000s.

Aired: 2004
Time for the miscellaneous fashion shots of the episodes, or the Rando Roundup as I like to call it. First we have some work uniforms and sports uniforms. We get some randos with horizontally striped long sleeved polos, baggy pants, and cross-body bags. And perhaps the most notable thing from this spread is Spinner’s coworker, likely supervisor if I recall, with bright yellow and orange dreads.

So, Liberty and JT literally JUST got together and they’re already fighting. Ya know… she was kind of a mean girlfriend. She is first seen in this shirt of horizontal stripes, and then in a polo layered over a cami with a jean skirt.

Amy is SUCH a perfect 2000s badgirl, especially combined with Alex. They are terrifying. She wears that tight ponytail, those tight shirts, pencil-thin eyebrows, and of course, those “wire” plastic bracelets…
