Y2K is beyond a time frame, it is a philosophy, a state of mind and a style statement.
Early 2000s trends have made a major comeback in recent months! Celebs, influencers and designers have all been riding the Y2K wave for a while now – so we’ve got some recommendations to help you hop onto this bandwagon in style.
Give your hair some sparkle and shine!
Add some shine and Y2K glamour to your hair with tinsel extensions or bedazzled clips.
This will instantly glam up your Y2K look.
This style radiates quirkiness and an oh-so-cool early aughts spark when paired with chic slip dresses.
Pro Tip: You can go the simple route and opt for a scrunchie made in a sparkly fabric to channel
this trend.
Experiment with crop tops!
A cool crop-top is the cornerstone of Y2K fashion.
When paired with high-waist, wide-legged denim pants or low-waist leather trousers, these beauties will give you the Britney Spears look, which was all the rage in the 2000s.
Brownie points for picking one with a spaghetti strap, as these were a wildly popular 90s carry-over in the Y2K era.
Pro Tip: Style your crop top with big hoop earrings to take your Y2K inspiration a notch higher!
Bring colourful metallics to the office!
Want to add a Y2K touch to your everyday WFH or office looks? Go for colourful metal eyeglasses! Unique and chic, these are sure to give a stylish early 2000s spin to even the simplest office looks.
Give your work wardrobe a subtle dash of colour with colourful metal frames from John Jacobs.
They have everything you need, from lush maroon-gold metallics to fresh mint-coloured frames!
Pro tip: Add on their BLU-cut computer lenses and give your eyes a digital detox.
Stand tall in block heel transparent sandals!
Soft glam was the name of the game back then! Nothing spells Y2K soft glam more than block heels with a transparent foot strap.
Opt for a soft pastel shade, stick to a stylish beige tone or go for a full transparent to make a major style statement.
Pro tip: Pair this up with an all-denim look to put together a stylish casual Y2K outfit!
A little purse = big style splash!
We know, we know – tiny purses are not practical.
But impracticality was one of the hallmarks of y2k fashion! So put your phone in your denim pocket and carry a little coin sling bag to step outside hands-free in early aughts fashion.
These will have 90s babies reliving their childhood memories in no time!
Pro tip: If coin-size purses are too tiny for you, consider carrying a small handbag instead.
There are miniatures available for all kinds of bags in the Y2K comeback era!
