We all have that friend who just wants to party like it’s 1999 every day, in 2023. Maybe you’re that friend, which I love for you. The blingy, cyber-obsessed Y2K era was unlike anything fashion has ever seen, with the bedazzled, space-age aesthetics working overtime to hide a looming sense of existential dread

It’s no surprise, really, that the 20-year trend cycle has throttled those same sensibilities — inclusive of popcorn shirts and giant, low-slung pants — back into the limelight. And now, wares like glitzy, rimless shades are making a comeback among folks of all generations, whether they were around for the original thing or not.
