Quiz answer: In 2004, the top back-to-school trend was undoubtedly the messenger bag. Think: Seth Cohen from “The O.C.,” Rory Gilmore, and Veronica Mars—these iconic characters made the look a must-have. (Can you feel the relief of switching the strap to your other shoulder?) Paired with other essential pieces like low-rise jeans, layered tank tops, and graphic tees, messenger bags defined early 2000s fashion.
