What Are We Wearing?

The resurgence of the Y2K fashion era is coming back! We are seeing this trend step out in the form of vintage and vintage-style clothing, daring statement pieces, and edgy accessories. The most fun part of this comeback is that it showcases an appreciation for individuality and artistic expression. Here are some Y2K-inspired pieces I'm eyeing to add to my Spring looks.

Jackets
Y2K fashion is a mixture of textures and proportions. Bomber jackets that are cropped or slightly oversized and finished in high-shine fabrics are the perfect statement piece to uphold this era. Other jacket elements like bold prints and exaggerated shoulders are reminiscent of the early 2000s and make for the perfect addition to a clean, simple look.

Denim
Bring back the flares, bell bottoms, tapered ankles, ripped details, and destroyed washes for denim in Spring 24'. We're seeing dresses over bell-bottoms on the couture runways, a revival of cropped denim jackets, and denim shirts with Western pockets and strong stitching. Pair a vintage-style denim jacket over a minimal slip dress with a fashion sneaker or wedge for warmer days. Or try a pair of high-waist jeans with a tee with platform sandals, or style a denim button-down shirt with a fun pencil, pleated, or leather mini skirt.

Accessories
Big, ornate belt buckles, shiny hardware, and monogrammed shoulder bags were all the rage, and it is time to bring them back out. Finish a casual daytime look like denim and a blouse or blazer with a beautiful belt and a hot pair of heels for a put-together look that feels current and chic. Opt for a black maxi dress, heels, and your favorite 2000s-inspired shoulder bag for a retro vibe for a date night or girls' night out.
