Y2K was a time in pop culture full of celebrity style icons before they were called influencers! We’re talking rhinestones, velour tracksuits, paparazzi, and the infatuation with wealthy socialites like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. The Y2K trend had a mini resurgence over a decade from the 2000s, but now the trend has been revived with stars like Ice Spice and Kylie Jenner taking the trend to a new level.

Swipe ahead and learn to rock this updated retro aesthetic.

Velour

Juicy velour tracksuits are at the top of the list of Y2K 2.0 fashion. Wear a white tank with studded tracksuits in soft colors like baby blue and pink. Finish the look with chunky Balenciaga-style sneakers.

Over The Top Glam

When it comes to women's style, the trend is all about glamour. Mix glam with a classic urban aesthetic by wearing tinted sunglasses, an athleisure dress, and an edgy belt. Take it up a notch with platform heels and a cropped fur jacket.

Futuristic

The futuristic idea of the trend is to appear as if you landed on earth from a different dimension; think moon boots and silver chrome. Choose sleek eyewear and low-rise jeans. Your accessories should be the focal point of this look. Choose unique jewelry in abstract styles or keep it simple by wearing a silver bling pendant chain.

Streetwear & Urban Hip Hop

During Y2K, streetwear was all about hip-hop influences in fashion, with baggy jeans, oversized t-shirts and urban labels. Wear loose-fitting jeans with a graphic tee. You can put a spin on it with a cardigan or jacket.

Urban Tech

Tech plays an important role in the trend’s evolution over the years, with anime influences from shows like Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z. The reimagined cyberpunk look can be created with baggy jeans and studded belts. Add accessories like a graphic hat or anime-inspired accessories.

Jerseys & Sportswear

Jerseys were a big deal during the birth of the trend. The sportswear concept has shifted and now leans more towards an edgy style. Wear a jersey with boots and a chain necklace to easily pull off this look.

Grunge Graphics

Graphic tees are the focus when putting together Y2K 2.0 grunge looks. The more oversized, the better. Mix your t-shirt with jean shorts and shades. This aspect of the trend is the most versatile, so feel free to add biker boots, sneakers, or heels.

Big Belts

Belts are essential to creating the look for women. The trend stems from the early 2000s fashion trend of wearing belts around the waist or hung off the hips as an accessory. Wear an oversized bohemian-style belt with flare jeans. Add a t-shirt or cropped top to complete the look.
