Hello.
This is Kimura from the ApparelX trend blog.
The term "Y2K" has become widespread in recent years and is now commonly used in apparel.
I think there are many people who have a vague idea of what it is, but don't actually quite get it.
This time, we will introduce you to this trendy Y2K fashion!
Y2K was originally an abbreviation for "Year 2000" and referred to the Millennium Bug.
Styles from the late 1990s to early 2000s are experiencing a revival in fashion, music, design and other fields, and are being re-evaluated as "Y2K fashion."
This trend is characterised by a style that incorporates futuristic and pop elements, as well as a casual and playful feel, and is once again gaining popularity on social media, especially among young people.
Another characteristic of this time of year is the prevalence of fashion and makeup that uses glitter and shimmer, as well as pastel and fluorescent colors.
Items that expose a lot of skin, such as crop tops and low-rise pants, are popular.
Many sporty items such as tracksuits, sneakers, and tank tops are also incorporated.
A standard item that will give you a Y2K vibe just by adding it to a simple outfit.
Smaller bags worn over the shoulder (baguette bags) are popular.
Do you now have an idea of what Y2K is?
Next, I would like to introduce some Y2K-related products that were typical of the time and are trendy today.
A dry synthetic leather with a semi-glossy cowhide-like surface. The polyurethane layer is thick to give it the feel of genuine leather.
It can be washed with water, making it ideal for clothing.
It comes in a wide variety of colors, so we recommend it for Y2K-esque leather mini skirts and jackets.
Polyester metallic braided piping.
It has a chic design with metallic effects and is available in a wide range of colors.
Matching colour to the sides of cargo pants or the seams of a blouson to create a two-tone look will instantly make you look very modern.
Even though the motif buttons are usually too gaudy and striking, when combined with the chest area of a compact cropped top or a cardigan, they can create a Y2K look!
