Thanks to the social media platform and the fact that the 2000s were 20 years ago (!!!), there is a current revival of everything related to what is now determined to be Y2K fashion. According to a Stylight report, “these turn-of-the-millennium trends are booming thanks to Gen Z discovering and showcasing them on TikTok”. It’s a compliment, really, that the young and hip people of today regard my generation as aspirational in terms of style. That’s what they’re saying, isn’t it…?
Admittedly, I was scared when Y2K fashion first came back around. I wouldn’t even go as far as to say that I got it right the first time it happened, so why would I repeat the same mistakes now as a seasoned, thirty-something fashion editor? While I managed to avoid it long enough, the pull of nostalgia has proven too tempting to resist, so I set out on a hunt for Y2K outfits I could see myself in, courtesy of some influencers who have already embraced the movement.
