You've pulled this together so well. But as someone who was a late teenager and into my early twenties, I have nothing but bad memories of these trends. I wore my own version which was a kind of ironic, undone librarian ladylike and androgynous style (inspired by Beck, Kate Moss and indie rock bands)- these were sub trends. The pop Y2K look I absolutely hated. It was novelty seeking, over designed, too shiny, too blingy, attention seeking lolita-esque and cheap. Buy now, wear for a month and then throw away fashion. The girls wearing the lip gloss on windy days were chronically on edge. Ha ha.
I love your videos and im glad you are covering the y2k trend beginning to show its face. Here is the thing. I absolutely hate hate hate everything about this trend and for a legitimate reason. Its almost as if each and every single aspect of how to look unflattering even with washboard abs was the mantra of this time period. It almost feels like it was a glitch in the matrix with fashion and although fashion is cyclical and each decade has its plusses and minuses and its subjective for the most part but the 00' s were particularly horrendous for the vast majority of us who have already been there and done that. Im relatively lean but i have meat on my thighs and a bit of flesh on my arms. Flat tummy but my oh my , finding any pant that fit was a total nightmare and would get dragged down everytime i sat. Also i love color but why is it so colorful in an almost childrens barbie coloring book done by a 4 yr old. Final point is that it made everyone look sick, due to starvation( which almost everyone under 30 at the time was doing, and masculine in an unnatural way. It can come back for round 2 but for the vast majority of us who has been there and gone through hell for nearly a decade never finding decent pants to wear and these ugly ugly shiny tops or overly long lace camisoles will definitely pass. This time thankfully theres parallel trends running side by side. So its easy enough so far to find mid or high waisted pants and tops that dont look like you wore your 3 yr old sisters tshirt. I may sound a bit extreme but this " trend" was extreme. It forced people into these fad diets so they could fit into these horribly shaped pants. There maybe only a 5 percent group that found this trend ok if theyre natrually very lean, straight and boyish in physique. Every other woman of all other body types struggled. And it was not cool. Hopefully less people buy this trashy style so the fashion houses get the message.
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective! I really appreciate hearing from someone who experienced the Y2K trend firsthand and can speak to the challenges it brought with body inclusivity and fit. Fashion from the 2000s definitely had its quirks, and you're right-some of the styles were quite extreme and hard to wear comfortably, especially with the low-rise cuts and tight fits.
Great video but I hate the fashion, too girly and trashy and for the superslim only. There's no way you can have such a flat belly unless you haven't eaten, and that's not healthy because it leads to food obsession and eating disorders. My Y2K icon is Kate Moss, please could you feature her style in a future video? Thank you
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your thoughts! I completely understand where you're coming from-Y2K fashion can definitely lean toward a very specific aesthetic, and I appreciate you highlighting the importance of health and balance. My goal is to showcase a range of styles and icons that inspire different looks, and I included a segment dedicated to Kate Moss in my “90s It Girls” video. But I’ll definitely consider adding a segment for her 2000s looks for a future Y2K video. Thank you again for watching and for your thoughtful comment! ❤️
