The Hills was a groundbreaking show for many reasons (Paris, as a city, has never been more relevant). Aside from giving us some truly top-notch drama (and giving Les Deux and The Dime a ton of free press), it gifted our middle school and high school selves some amazing fashion inspiration. Did all of it stand the test of time? Lolololol no. Unless you’re inexplicably into layering several ripped up beanies atop one another and pairing them with your fave Hot Topic leather jacket, in which case, inspiring!
But in the interest of preserving The Hills‘ spot in American fashion history, and in case anyone out there is looking to blow off work/school/[insert responsibility here], behold! Here are 42 memorable and slightly deranged looks from this iconic show. Come for Lauren Conrad’s collection of headbands and The Many Hats of Justin Bobby, and stay for literally everything Heidi Montag ever wore, including some expertly layered spaghetti strapped tank tops.
Also, when you inevitably come to the realization that you would, in fact, wear every single one of these outfits in our year 2022, don’t worry, we’re right there with you. And, as ever, reminder that no one else can feel it for you, only you can let it in, no one else, no one else, can speak the words on your lips, k bye!
