While your clients may not want to rock a patchwork denim jumpsuit, you can present denim wovens, jackets, hats, or bags. Power couples Jay-Z and Beyoncé, and Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, made head-to-toe denim and patchwork denim a thing.

In the same vein, you’ll also see tie-front shirts and short button-up cardigans making a comeback. For today, a bralette top would be great under a deep V-neck top or a slouchy muscle tank with elongated armholes. While these tops may be more appropriate for gym wear and certain summer events, this is a piece that does stand the test of time. Remember Gwen Stefani in her crops and belly chains? That’s why it’s no surprise that bralette tops are also back in. From muscle crop tanks to those boxier cropped hoodies that hit just above the waistline, everyone can tap into this trend today that brands like Fiorucci and Juicy Couture dominated circa 2000. The good news is, there’s a crop for everybody, and every body. “Baby tees” from the early 2000s are the on-trend crops of today. The 2000s were all about midriff-baring styles. ![]() (Style: BELLA+CANVAS 6681) | Credit: S&S Activewear There’s a crop for everybody, and every body. You can also pitch accessories, like fun bucket hats, that come in velour fabrications. Again, you’ve got a lot of color options today thanks to industry suppliers. Extra points if you choose a bright shade like blue or green to play into the Y2K aesthetic. Neutrals in whites, tans, camels, and grays fit perfectly here. To really tap into the look, you can wear the same color tracksuit head to toe. However, the range of styles, cuts, and fits of these tops and bottoms gives you the ability to find the right match for your client’s brand and needs. Luckily, a lot of apparel suppliers in the wholesale print industry brought this trend back, with matching full-zip hooded sweatshirts and joggers. When we say “2000s fashion,” we immediately think of the velour tracksuit, worn by the likes of JLo and Britney Spears, and made popular by the Juicy Couture and Baby Phat brands.

Some of the biggest pop culture influences included Carrie Bradshaw from the HBO hit “Sex and the City,” Bratz Dolls, and the movies “The Matrix” and “Mean Girls.” Today’s Y2K-referential styles are more wearable for more age groups and body types, so don’t ignore these trends. The overall aesthetic of Y2K fashion is futuristic with a retro edge: shiny materials, chunky sneakers, wide-leg, low-rise pants, and colorful sunglasses. Similarly, on Lyst, 2000s fashion queries have risen 450%. On Tradesy, an online resale marketplace, searches for “baby tee” skyrocketed 2,000%, “low rise” rose 50%, and “cargo pants” increased 28%. ![]() Y2K-related searches online have also jumped up in the last year or two. Early-2000s fashion also went from a side niche to a bigtime return-trend as more celebrities have worn archival fashion at events and on the red carpet. This nostalgia has taken hold, in part, as Gen Z hit TikTok in the last two to five years, discovering Y2K vintage fashion and pop culture trends. The pandemic, climate change, uncertain economy, and other political and social issues have sparked a much bigger turn to nostalgia for earlier, happier times. However, lots of GenZers, Millennials, and Xers have gotten back into Y2K fashion trends. The turn of the century (and the millennium!) known for pop culture disruption and the dot-com boom is now 20 years ago and considered vintage. ![]()
