Picture this: The year is 2000. Owning a sidekick phone made you the most popular kid on the block, Britney Spears’s masterful In the Zone is climbing the charts, and our eyes are not swollen from our concerning screen time. Those were simpler yet fun times. Well, don’t get too sentimental, because the Y2K fad is coming back for a second round, whether you like it or not.
This Y2K fashion trend is a cross-over of pop culture and technological breakthroughs from the millennium. Gen Z taking over TikTok has breathed new life into Y2K, a generation although too young at that time to play around with the trends is adamant about reliving them.
We’re here to take a deeper dive into the trend and see what you should take from it and what you shouldn’t.
Halter Tops
It's tough not to sound like a broken record when nearly all of the trends for 2021 can be traced back to the 1990s. Chunky sandals, shoulder bags, rectangular sunglasses, and cargo trousers are just a few of the items that are making a comeback this year, and now halter neck tops are accompanying them.
Many starlets, like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, were noted for wearing cropped tops with the trendy low-rise jeans of the period. Halter neck tops appear to suit every body shape and style. Whether you’re going to a concert, running errands, or even a red carpet, this top will give you the sexy look while keeping it classy.
Graphic Tees
We all know that good graphic tees are a must-have item that practically everyone already owns and that they never go out of trend. During the year 2000, fashion was all about making a statement, which is why slogan shirts were so prominent. So let your tee do all the talking!
Cutout & Straps
It goes without saying that in 2021, the cut-out trend will be one of the most talked about. This trend has seized the catwalk, as well as our Instagram feed, as we've seen our favorite influencers style their version on the cut-out trend. Cut-outs and straps are a perfect way of showing more with less.
Cropped Cardigans
What makes cardigans such a vital piece of the fall wardrobe? All of your favorite knitwear's appeal... plus buttons. Paying ode to the 2000s, the cropped cardigans have become the biggest trend of fall 2021 and we’re happy to take it into 2022. The cropped style makes it excellent for pairing with your favorite high-waisted statement pants or layering over a fall dress without dominating it.
