If a celebration of the 2000s is what you’re after for your wardrobe, check out these Y2K-inspired trends to take you back.
Yes, you read that right: the infamous Y2K look is the internet’s new favourite way to layer clothes and create distinctive silhouettes.

Capris are another controversial Y2K trend on the cusp of making a comeback: people online are styling their skinny capris with off-the-shoulder fitted tops and kitten heels for a chic and sophisticated look.
Patterned capris are another favourite style: paired with a white baby tee and bright accessories, they make for a vibrant, funky look. Which style are you going to try out?

Shrunken-looking t-shirts are a Y2K wardrobe must-have. Take inspiration from Megan Fox wearing her at the time stepson’s tees and size down, or shop in the kid’s section! Baby tees are the perfect companions to the low-waisted baggy trousers that are popular right now, but also go very well with high-waisted silhouettes if you don’t like showing as much skin.
