Y2k Fashion

Y2k Fashion 

We are now seeing the influence of Y2K fashion making its way back into our current trends mini shoulder bags, tiny sunglasses, track suits, pleated skirts, you name it. With the sustainable fashion movement stronger than ever, there is a major push for buying secondhand, and lucky for you, a thrift store or online thrift stores. The scary time period and are relying heavily on technology to get us through quarantine, we are evoking some of the same uncertainty from the late 90s and early 2000s, causing Y2K fashion to resurface. Nostalgia is a powerful feeling, and we are naturally drawn to things that remind us of simpler times. You know what they say, history repeats itself.

Today when you scroll through your social feeds like Instagram or tik tok you see people engaging in y2k fashion. The current Y2K fashion trend is just that, a return of clothing and aesthetic trends from the late ‘90s and the year 2000. Gen-z and Millennials are welcoming the nostalgia for the era.

Shiny Outfits 

Shiny materials with the shade of silver or any other shade would pop up and bring back nostalgia. If you like funky colours then go for pink, green, yellow, neon or if you like subtle things then you choose the basic shades with subtle jewellery.
