The tips of Justin’s gloves disappeared in 2000.

The star went all-demin with then-girlfriend Britney Spears in 2001, and we still talk about this iconic fashion moment two decades later.

We’ll chalk up the buttered-noodle hair and chain wallet to the fact that this pic is from 1998.

JT went full force with the velvet tracksuit trend in 2003.

In 2000, JT rocked cornrows with a navy blue bandana.

Even Justin’s No Strings Attached doll rocked his overgrown curls in 2000.

Now we know what caused the Great Corduroy Shortage of 2001.

He’s wet. He’s in a bucket hat. And this photo is from 1998. We know what you did last summer.
