Y2K fashion, or otherwise spelled for the Millenials among us, Year 2000 Fashion is already making a comeback, not even 2 decades later. For a generation such as Gen-Z, that is incredibly focused on the climate and responsible spending, embracing an era known for excess and ultra-consumerism is going to be a challenge, but one everyone seems to be eager to embrace.
Technically, Y2K covers the late ’90s and early-to-mid 2000s, and for everyone who needs a reminder, here is the bullet points version of everything that is Y2k:
- Cropped tees
- Baggy pants
- Kitsch accessories
- Designer monograms
- Hot pink
- Denim, denim, and more denim.
- Ribbed cardigans
- Mini skirtsLow rise pants
- Shoulder Bags
- Bedazzled everything
- *we can't believe we're typing this* Tracksuits.
And for an era defined by its pop culture queen, we have to mention: Destiny’s Child, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliot, J. Lo, and Paris Hilton, along screen legends such as Legally Blonde‘s Elle Woods and Mean Girls‘ Regina George.
‘The only rule is don’t be boring.”
