Trends from the 2000s, better known as Y2K fashion, are all the rage right now and we’re all for it! From nostalgic to stylish, these trends can make you feel that and more. If you’re wondering how to incorporate these in your wardrobe, here are seven tips that will make you a Y2K styling expert in no time!
1. Balance Is Everything
You may be attracted to a lot of Y2K trends but there’s no rule that says you have to style it all together. If you’re just starting out and aren’t sure about what will suit your personal style, start by pairing one Y2K piece with a basic. Try cargo pants with a simple t-shirt for instance. This balanced, Y2K look will give you a chic, new-age vibe without making it too difficult to style.

2. The Casual the Better
Start with more casual outfits to get comfortable with the trends. Going all out for an important event without trying the styles out may make you feel uncomfortable. A simple baggy jean and baby tee is a great casual outfit to kick-start your Y2K wardrobe with.

3. You Do You
Try to avoid getting carried away with styles because you feel everyone is opting for them. Only choose things that you would be totally comfortable in. Don’t feel too sure about low-waist jeans? Give it a skip! Opt for a mid-waist jean with a longer top instead!

4. Colour Me Cool
Don’t overwhelm yourself with super experimental outfits. The one thing you can always stick to is the colour palette that your wardrobe already has. This way, your Y2K pieces will not only pair better with things you already own, but also make you feel more confident about what you’re wearing. The best part? This styling trick can give you a super stylish monochrome outfit to die for.

5. Updated
Opt for pieces that are Y2K with a slightly modern spin. For example, cargo trousers look more current yet Y2K when they have a slim or straighter fit. Pair it with a simple shirt and you can even wear it to a work meeting!

6. Personal Style Matters
Trends may come and go but your personal style is here to stay. So if something seems too out of your personal style radar, don’t be afraid to give it a skip.
7. Start With Accessories
Can’t seem to figure out where to start with? The easiest way to incorporate Y2K in your wardrobe is to start with accessories. Beaded jewellery, bucket hats and hair clips, they’re all super-subtle yet easily pairable with a varied range of pieces.
