The Y2K Revival Trend
It was bound to happen, and it is now here: the Y2K revival. This revival is all about taking the fun and sometimes out-there styles from the early 2000s and putting a modern spin on them. What does this mean? It means a new, refreshing take on the clothes you may have worn not too long ago or may still have in your closet! Today’s fashion trends are a delightful mix of the 90s, 00s, and earlier style influences. If you are ready for a wardrobe refresh and love how fashion stars are styling those 00s pieces, this guide is for you. Anyone who wants to integrate pieces from the Y2K revival needs these essential pieces in their closet:
Crochet
Crochet is one of the best revivals of the season, due in part because of how difficult it is to make. Unlike knits, crochet must be done entirely by hand. This is an important thing to remember when shopping, as there are a lot of “crochet” lookalike pieces that are actually complex knits, not true crochet itself. If you are not fussy, then do not worry about it, and if you’re crafty, then make something!
Lace-Up Styles
Do not worry. The G-string look of the 00s is not coming back (yet), at least. Instead, brands are using lace-up clothing to mimic the appealing lines either down or up your body. Crop tops with lace-up details are a huge hit at the moment and can be worn in a variety of different ways to help you stand out from the crowd.
Platform Shoes
One of the most fun trends from the Y2K fashion revival is the return of the sky-high platform. This design may have already been revived from earlier eras, but you can see the Y2K influence in modern-day designs. Platform shoes have been the go-to option for pop stars for generations, and today they are back with bright colors, big textures, or eye-catching metallics. Since they are such style statements, you’ll want to style them with a minidress or micro mini skirt to give your legs room to shine.
Denim, Denim, Denim
Denim has never gone out of style, but the world is starting to see a big revival of pieces that have been collecting dust in everyone’s wardrobes and the style archives for far too long. From low-rise jeans to the jean skirt, there are many fun denim styles that are making a comeback. The difference, however, is a focus on looser styles. Skinny jeans still have not come into play, for example, with fashionistas of today opting for looser, bulkier styles of almost every item you may have once had in your wardrobe.
Midriff
Midriff is back! Enter the low-rise styles and crop-top shirts combined to show off your stomach and all the hard work you have put into your abs. If those styles are not for you, you may want to look into the keyhole trend that is also coming back. It could be just what you have been looking for in your collection of clothes.
