Y2K fashion, popular in the late '90s and early 2000s, was all about bold, futuristic and playful styles that reflected a desire to break free from reality and embrace optimism for the new millennium.
More recently, its bold colour palette, cute designs and tech-inspired elements offered a fantasy world amidst uncertainty and change after COVID changed the course of life.
Think low-rise jeans, baby tees, shiny fabric, chunky accessories and a heavy dose of nostalgia that continues to influence trends today.
Here's a look at how you can incorporate Y2K in your wardrobe.
