It’s true: the internet’s love for nostalgic fashion is so strong that even the most questionable trends are bound to come back in style.

If a celebration of the 2000s is what you’re after for your wardrobe, check out these Y2K-inspired trends to take you back.
Yes, you read that right: the infamous Y2K look is the internet’s new favourite way to layer clothes and create distinctive silhouettes.

Shrunken-looking t-shirts are a Y2K wardrobe must-have. Take inspiration from Megan Fox wearing her at the time stepson’s tees and size down, or shop in the kid’s section! Baby tees are the perfect companions to the low-waisted baggy trousers that are popular right now, but also go very well with high-waisted silhouettes if you don’t like showing as much skin.
