If it is too much for you, don’t worry, we totally get it. You can also opt for a metallic bag, this way you incorporate the shinny look without stepping out of your comfort zone.
4- LOW RISE PANTS
This is our favorite way of styling Y2K fashion. We adore this new low-rise jeans trend and they are so Y2K!

With either style of crop tops, we can guarantee you that will be a very flattering fit because all the proportions are balanced giving you a stunning Y2K vibe.

5- MICRO SCHOOL SKIRT
Mini skirts are another really popular trend that perfectly fits into the Y2K fashion aesthetic.
Micro skirts like the one worn by Xenia on Coachella are the perfect way of styling one of the biggest 2022 trends while stepping into the, also a very popular trend, Y2K aesthetic. We all love a 2 in 1 and this is just that!
If you want to wear this look all year, don’t worry. We got you covered. You can still wear a mini skirt but we advise you to pair it with some tights and/or high boots, it will look very stylish while keeping you warm.
6- SHOULDER BAG
Another great way of discreetly styling Y2K pieces is by incorporating them into your accessories such as a pouch or a bag. An example of a perfect Y2K bag is for sure this stunning shoulder bag from Jourdan’s IG.
The best and easiest way of styling statements/ different trends is always by trying them in small accessories.
This way you will slowly become more used to the trend without feeling overwhelmed with it. Besides is, usually, a better financial move because you will spend less money on it which is ideal since you will not get that much use of an item like this.
7- NEON + STRING CLOTHING
When it comes to Y2K fashion, you really need to opt for bolder colors. Neons are usually perfect for this aesthetic.
Another thing that is very characteristic of this fashion trend is, for sure, the string clothing. In this Elsa’s IG post you can totally see the Y2K vibe just by the colors styled, as well as, the stringy top and skirt.
