HOW TO DO Y2K FASHION

Y2K outfits are still hot on socials, and with autumn upon us, there's no better time to brush up on your Y2K fashion. From footie royalty in classic cargos to pop stars rocking double denim, here are the references you need to throw it back to the noughties and make those fashion wrongs RIGHT.

Is there anything more Y2K than the beanie-and-cargo combo? And while we wouldn't recommend rocking up to a fancy event in them à la the 00s stars on every red carpet, we do say mix the normcore/utility vibe into your everyday line-up. Oversized khaki cargo pants + a slouchy, long-sleeve tee + your favourite beanie = Y2K clothing: completed.

Fact: the early 00s will forever be in debt to the hip-hop fashion and R&B icons of the late 90s. If you look like you've walked out of a Boyz II Men concert in a loose sports jersey and oversized jeans, you're on the 00s track. And of course, no Y2K outfit would be complete without some silver hardware, a trusty Von Dutch cap and a pair of Timberland boots – 2003 would be proud.

Punk fashion has provided plenty of inspo over the years, but for a new nod to the trend, why not scroll ASOS DESIGN's range of cyber-Y2K graphic tees and pair 'em with some smasual pinstripe trousers that look str8 out of a Tim Burton film? For the creps, it has to be classic Converse – the more worn-in, the better.

We couldn’t finish a round-up of men's Y2K fashion without a shout-out to double denim. Beginner level is a denim shirt with loose, Y2K jeans (bonus points if you mix washes). Intermediate is a matching denim co-ord that really puts in the work(wear). And pro? One word for ya: overalls. Let Dickies show you how it's done.
