What goes around comes back, the same is true for our fashion trends. Y2K fashion which was popularized during the 90s and starting years of 20s, has been adopted by the fashionistas and has gained an even more powerful comeback during the year of 2021. The then-so-popular clothing styles of the 20s, like denim on denim, low-rise jeans, pleated skirts, have again become popular with its own changes and evolution. With 2021 coming to an end, we have the top y2k trends especially curated for you as a guide for 2022.
1. Denim on Denim
Denim on denim was one of the most popular clothing for the millennial population and has yet again gained the attention of all. Most of the celebrities have started picking up their denims and curating it according to their own styles.
2. Scarfs
Scarfs have yet again attracted the population after a long long time. Be it in the form of a hair bandana or worn as a top, it has become a fashion trend, inspired by the 20s, and we believe it is the one to stay.
3. Crop top and low rise jeans
While crop tops have been in trend for quite a few years now, they were generally paired with high waist jeans of the 80s and 50s which became very popular. But now, with 2021, low-rise and mid-rise jeans also made a comeback. To make it a little bit Gen-Z, in addition to jeans, other bottoms are also being worn below the belly. Remember Poo wearing red coloured low-waist bottoms and a crop top? For all the Poo fans, which we're sure all are, you can now wear the jeans you wanted to without any hesitation.
4. Wide leg bottoms
In addition to low-rise ones, wide legs have also come back, and have become the most comfortable and yet stylish outfit for each and every one of us. From the general public, to Bollywood, to Hollywood, this trend has far reaching hands and everyone has become a victim of the same. We can assure you that this one is going to be here for a long, long time.
5. Pink bubblegum
I think we can agree on how full pink was one of the favourites for the 90s population. But now, outfits in full pink bubblegum shade are yet again popularized. However, this time it is in a more modern outlook, paired with sleek hair, heels, and sunglasses to go with.
6. Small bags
Big handbags and backpacks were something which everyone loved and were comfortable with. While it is feasible to carry them all, small bags of y2k fashion are back to give an extra edge to your cocktail party look. Small sling bags and hand bags in different prints are really easy to handle and look equally amazing.
7. Funky Accessories
Yes you heard it right, funky accessories are back again to bring back your childhood nostalgia. Be it in the form of hair accessories or jewelry, accessorizing has become a ritual of our dressing up now. Hats, colourful sets, bracelets, headbands, and all of this is now once again a part of all our closets.
8. Cardigans and pleated skirts
Yes, it looks a little weird isn't it? Not to the 90s and early 20s population. Cardigans along with pleated skater skirts were a part of everyones' lookbook at that time, and are starting to make their way into the current era as well. With white collar shirts inside, cardigans on top; many are making a style statement, and giving others another look to follow.
