The hottest Y2K trends for 2025
It’s true: the internet’s love for nostalgic fashion is so strong that even the most questionable trends are bound to come back in style. From summery capri pants to pop star-inspired rhinestoned pieces, social media is brimming with Y2K fashion trends. 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. Asymmetrical skirts are a favourite Y2K-inspired piece to achieve this look, as well as minis and plaid skirts. Mini dresses are also a great option, as well as maxi, sheer dresses for a summer-ready look.
With metallics being a huge trend right now, it’s easy to predict that rhinestones and sequins will have their moment too in 2024. Clothing, makeup, hair, and even teeth: bedazzling is the name of the game. Rhinestoned tops and sequin palazzo trousers are our fave ways of bringing some shine to our wardrobes!

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.
