Double Denim

Double denim was all the rage in the 2000s; Britney Spears, Victoria Beckham, and Paris and Nicole all rocked fully denim outfits. Whilst the jeans and jacket combo might be a bit hot for festival season, Kali Uchis rocks a denim corset top with a low-rise mini skirt and denim boots. Trade the denim boots for wellies, and you have yourself a very 2000s festival outfit!

Belts

Belt choices in the early 2000s were questionable to say the least. Bohemian ‘disc’ belts, low-rise belts that served no purpose, oversized waistband belts, and sequin scarf belts all had their moments. Bizarre belts have been making a comeback recently too, with Miu Miu showcasing double-belted skirts, Diesel’s literal belt miniskirt, and Rina Sawayama wearing belts in lieu of tops on the cover of Nylon magazine and at the Brits afterparty. The possibilities are endless, as Sita proves, layering a variety of styles to create this very risky belt dress.

Wellington Boots

Speaking of wellies, Kate Moss has proven to us time and time again that the boot your parents probably made you wear as a child does not have to be shunned. Whether pairing Hunter wellies with short-shorts and a waistcoat or a glittery dress and pointless belt, Kate embraces the harsh reality of a UK summer- clouds, rain, and mud everywhere!

Metallics

Metallic everything was huge in the 2000s, from blue and silver metallic eyeshadow, to metallic frosted lip gloss, to metallic mesh tops. This trend is definitely back, with influencers sporting metallic cowboy boots and Paco Rabanne’s coveted sequin skirt, while TikTokers apply gold and silver leaf to their favourite jeans. Metallic pieces are the perfect way to spice up a boring festival outfit!

Lace

Lace can be perfect for a festival because it is super lightweight and breathable. It adds detail to an outfit and can be layered (think: Blake Lively Kids’ Choice Awards 2005). Sheer lace skirts and lace-edge tank tops are cute and easy to find in shops, and lace gloves are also becoming more and more popular. Practical for a festival? Probably not, but cute.

Cut Out Tops

Cut-out tops are a piece that can be dressed up or down, but dressed all the way up is the way to go for a festival. Go classic y2k with a bedazzled butterfly top, or keep it cool with a white star top like Emma Leger. These summery tops would look great with any early 2000s festival accessory — long bohemian necklaces, gold shiny tattoos, or feathers in your hair!

Terry Cloth

Terry cloth will keep you dry as you dance all night! And is super comfy and breathable which is essential for a hot sweaty festival. A staple in any early 2000s wardrobe, from Juicy Couture terry tracksuits to beach cover-up dresses, terry cloth is both fashionable and functional. Sophie Suchan has styled this Chanel co-ord with layered chain belts and a matching Chanel purse. So simple but so classic.

Coach Monogram

The Coach monogram had 2000s teenagers in a chokehold. Everyone wanted the little monogrammed clutch as their going-out bag after it was spotted on the arms of celebrities like Ashley Benson, Paris Hilton, and Ashley Tisdale. The resurgence of the y2k aesthetic meant Coach relaunched their old styles, including the classic monogram in different colours and even denim. Elsa Hosk opted for an elevated classics look, posing by a vintage car in a monogrammed bikini top with matching jeans. The coordinated patterns make this simple look seem tied together and are perfect for wanting to look good without the high maintenance at a festival.

]]> Calling all Jlo fans. The 25th of November 2022 marks the 20-year anniversary since the release of This Is Me… Then. And Jlo has been treating all of her Instagram followers to reminisce about some of her iconic looks within the last 20 years as a mark of celebration. After all, what is more synonymous than Jlo and fashion icon. The queen of bling just announced that she is releasing a new album called “This is me Now”. The alb will mark J.Lo’s first album in eight years, following A.K.A. in 2014. The tracks on the 2023 album, whose exact release date has not yet been revealed, are described as “plaintive, confessional songs, reflections on the trials of her past, upbeat jams celebrating love and sex.”

From tracksuits to Knee-high boots, Jlo was no stranger to all the beloved styles of the early 2000s. We love reflecting on these gorgeous y2k looks and thought we would share them with you to honour Lopez’s great achievement. 

Unreleased images shot by Tony Duran show us the hype of the 2000s style. Head-to-toe millennial pink, Lopez was always wearing peak 2000s styles which gave her status as not only a superstar but a fashion icon. 

Straight from the 2003-time capsule, will this look ever go out of fashion? A round of applause for Jenny from the block, please. This look confirms what we all thought we knew; Jenifer Lopez is the ultimate sassy and sexy icon. 

Jlo loved her headscarves, floppy hats, berets, and beanies. Special shout out to her for her use of hats and headwear which is still celebrated 20 years on. From baby pink knitted berets to chainmail headscarves, we are still waiting to see if there is anything she can’t pull off. 

The iconic image of Jlo in fur. This is a look that should be kept safe for generations to come to gaze upon lovingly. Her aviator glasses and fur combination screams confidence and empowerment. Lopez has always dressed in a female-empowering style, and we thank her for her services.

MTV’s Total Request Live in 2001 saw Jennifer Lopez grace the stage in classic y2k low-rise leather trousers. I’m sure spectators will still remember her performance as well as her outfit. We also adore the cropped American Football Jersey Lopez is wearing, and of course, her classic hoop earrings. 

At the peak of Juicy Couture and fashionable athleisure, Jennifer Lopez was the poster girl for matching low-rise tracksuits. The trend of matching tracksuits remains a nostalgic moment of the early 2000s and we can certainly give Lopez some credit for the craze. 

Reflecting upon these images tells us Jlo has really managed to pull off everything she has worn. From hyper-feminine styles to hyper-sexy fits, the 2000s saw her style versatility. Although she may have always been adaptable with her style, they all have something in common; they remain iconic and memorable. 

Excitingly, along with her inviting us to reminisce on past looks, she has also released This Is Me… Then on vinyl for the first time ever which is available now! One thing we are sure of is our love for Jlo- does not cost a thing.

Throughout the past two difficult years, many of us have sought comfort in familiar places, whether that be; re-watching old shows, listening to our favourite childhood albums or recreating iconic scenes from Mean Girls. Revisiting the tartan skirts, halter neck crop tops and moon bags ignited a fire in Gen-Z and millennials, to the point where we couldn’t resist bringing these trends back.

We have a feeling the Y2K style will be staying with us throughout 2022, therefore, we are here to give you a head’s up on the trends to prepare yourself for. 

Glitter

For a long time glitter has been frowned upon, and not seen as a glamorous or chic element for our makeup looks. Thanks to the rise in Y2K trends, glitter has seen a comeback and has been proven as a staple part of achieving a nostalgic twist to your usual makeup look. 

Glossy Lips

Gone are the days of dry, crusty matte lipsticks. Gloss is the essential lip product that will be keeping us glam throughout 2022. To add an extra Y2K twist to your gloss, make sure to use a dark lip liner and live your Bratz doll fantasy.  

Smokey Eyes 

A smokey eye is a classic for us makeup lovers, and like all things Y2K, drama is essential. With this being said, if you’re looking for a timeless yet on-trend look, the smokey eye is what you need to kickstart 2022 in style. 

Blue Eyeshadow

Blue was a much-loved 2000s eyeshadow shade, favoured by icons such as Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. As it makes a comeback to the red carpet with the likes of Gigi Hadid sporting the shade, we can expect to be wearing something blue in the upcoming months.

Y2K Hair Buns

Anyone out there who likes a low maintenance hairstyle can rejoice with this one, as Y2K hair buns are here to stay. Whether you opt for space buns or a slick back low spikey bun, you can guarantee to be on-trend and looking stylish as ever.

Braids

This year, whenever we have wanted to add a touch of flavour to our hair, we have gone for cute little braids. With the style rocked by celebs such as Olivia Rodrigo and Ariana Grande throughout 2021, you will be on to a winner when wearing braids in 2022.

When it comes to eyeshadow you can get as experimental as you’d like. Stenie took to Instagram with a purple, hot pink cut crease combination in an effortless winged silhouette, with nude on the lids. The perfect not-too-bright, yet striking look for SS21.

Solene’s Wings
