🌟 What is Y2K Fashion?

“Y2K” refers to early 2000s fashion, with:

• Low-rise jeans & cargo pants

• Ribbed baby tees

• Flared pants with micro skirts layered over them

• Bold colours & shiny fabrics

• Butterfly clips, chunky highlights, and platform shoes

Social media influencers and celebrities are bringing these styles back, and Gen Z and Millennials in Australia are embracing the aesthetic with a modern spin.
