The Y2K comeback is now embraced by millennials (who wore these styles as teens) and Gen Z alike. This is all to say one thing: Y2K fashion is back and beloved because the clothes reviving these turn-of-century trends are more wearable than they used to be. For instance, we’re seeing cargo pants that don’t drag on the ground, metallics that aren’t only reserved for nighttime, and low-rise jeans that actually cover the booty.
The Y2K fashions of today are fearless, cute, and, yes, nostalgic (think baguette bags, body chains, and ballet flats). Ahead, we put together an Urban Outfitters guide to navigating Y2K fashion and incorporating it into your wardrobe — that is if you’re feeling fly like that.
