A favorite saying for many historians is “Don’t let history repeat itself,” but in the case of fashion, history is once<br />
again repeating itself. Trends from the 80s and 90s have seen a major resurgence in the past 10 years. <strong>No</strong>w, the<br />
y2k era is taking over the 2020s. From statement sunglasses to velour tracksuits, y2k fashion making a comeback is<br />
probably the greatest thing to happen to fashion since, well, y2k. At this rate, flip phones are going to be back in style.<br />
The year 2000 is when it all began, celebrities became the face of some of the biggest y2k fashion trends. From<br />
Destiny’s Child to Britney Spears to Paris Hilton, early 2000s fashion was an unstoppable force. Here’s a guide to<br />
emulating those queens while also staying with the times.<br />
Tip #1: Throw those<br />
skinny jeans away.<br />
Tip #2: Get a Velour Tracksuit.<br />
One iconic woman who wasn’t<br />
afraid to sport a velour tracksuit back in<br />
the day was Paris Hilton. There wasn’t a day<br />
that went by that Hilton wasn’t caught rocking<br />
a velour tracksuit. Brands like Juicy Couture<br />
and Baby Phat were huge and are making a<br />
comeback. <strong>No</strong> one said the tracksuit had to be<br />
name-brand; it just has to look good.<br />
Tip #3: Sunglasses<br />
make or break the outfit.<br />
Whether we realize it or not<br />
skinny jeans are slowly going out of<br />
style. It’s all about mom jeans, dad jeans<br />
and wide-legged jeans. A quick thrift store<br />
visit and a wide array of wide-legged jeans<br />
will line the aisles. Many big brands such as<br />
Hollister, ASOS and Urban Outfitters have<br />
sections dedicated to y2k inspired jeans. Lowrise<br />
jeans were the thing in the 2000s, but<br />
society is on the fence about them now.<br />
Tiny sunglasses and frameless sunglasses are<br />
where it’s at, and they will make the outfit.<br />
They’ll make you look like you just walked<br />
out of the year 2000, so get rid of the aviators<br />
and the Ray-Bans. If you want to look like y2k<br />
Britney and J LO, frameless is the way to go.<br />
Tip #4: Don’t be afraid of<br />
a little color, glitz and glam.<br />
The 2000s was all about color, glitter and the most glamorous pieces.<br />
Stay away from the warm tones and bring in some pastels. Pinks,<br />
purples and lime greens will have you looking like you belong in an<br />
early 2000s teen rom-com.<br />
