Hilary Duff jokes about having 'PTSD from wearing shawls' in the early 2000s

Hilary Duff hopes shawls don't come back into fashion anytime soon.

During an interview for Paper magazine published on Monday, the actress-singer was asked how she feels about fans copying her Metamorphosis-era outfits from the early 2000s, right down to butterfly clips, when they attend her The Lucky Me Tour concerts.

"Yeah, I have PTSD about how many shawls I wore," she replied, jokingly referring to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). "I'm gonna have to find a shawl that doesn't remind me of the ones I wore."

However, the Mature star emphasised that she is "super glad" low-rise jeans are on trend again.

"I don't think I could wear skin-tight low-rise jeans like I used to, but a baggy low-rise jean, I'm super into. And I kind of like that the fashion choices don't always make sense. It has this air of, we don't care and we're cool," the 39-year-old continued. "Seeing kids dressed like that makes me so happy, because it takes me back, but I don't actually want to be 17. I don't even want to be 25."

In addition, Hilary reflected on the way some of her stage and personal outfits were a "little too mismatched" when she was starting out as a pop star, and noted that she has incorporated her go-to "baggy" jeans into her wardrobe for her comeback tour.

"Remember when baggy started happening again, and it was like, you have to have a tight top with a baggy bottom, or a tight bottom with a baggy top? Now it's baggy on baggy. Let's go," she laughed. "Honestly, that was a big part of my show. I was like, 'I want baggy jeans, I want a baggy T-shirt.' I want to feel how I feel when I come home after a long day. I want nothing to go in any crevice."

The Come Clean hitmaker is currently performing The Lucky Me Tour shows in Australia.

After taking a break, she will return to the stage in Vancouver, Canada on 22 January.

Meanwhile, Hilary's new festive EP, Holiday Things, is now available.
