Zooey Deschanel reveals style regret

Zooey Deschanel regrets wearing low-rise jeans.

The 'New Girl' actress admitted there are some nostalgic trends that she wishes would stay in the past and she's recalled how in the early 2000s she followed the fashion, even though the denim fit wasn't particularly flattering on her.

She told People magazine: "Personally, I'm not a fan of low-rise jeans. They don't look good on me. But for anyone who wears them and looks great—like Britney Spears did—then go for it!"

"I remember going to film festivals where they would give you low-rise jeans for free, and I would wear them.

"And then I would think, 'Why do I look bad?' It was because they just weren't for me."

But the 44-year-old star is nostalgic for the Vera Bradley toiletry case she owned when she was in high school and she is thrilled to be collaborating with the brand on their relaunch.

The new collection features new fabrications and silhouettes across their handbag, luggage and accessories designs, as well as modernising the shape, fabric and colour of old favourites such as backpacks and duffle bags.

And Zoey struggles to choose a favourite piece.

She said: "It's hard to choose. I love them all.

"I really love the black and white floral. There's a white one that I adore. It's really cute.

But I also love the classic styles because they go with everything — that's why I'm drawn to the black and white.

"I like to coordinate my outfit around them."

Vera Bradley executives are excited about their "next chapter".

Jacqueline Ardrey, President and Chief Executive Officer, said in a statement: “After months of analysing our business, our competition, our customers, and industry trends, we made the strategic decision to pivot priorities and consciously invest in elevating and reinvigorating Vera Bradley in order to restore our brand relevance.

"This next chapter focuses on meeting the needs of today’s dynamic woman, while honouring and celebrating the DNA of our brand that generations of women have loved for more than 40 years,”
