The 1990s and early 2000s were fun decades for fashion. ‘Experimentation’ was the buzzword with innovative and fearless styles taking centre stage. Dresses over pants, chunky belts and jewellery with every outfit, low-waist jeans with crop tops – these Y2K fashion trends ruled the runway and the streets alike. Almost two decades later, the fashion industry is undergoing a wave of nostalgia, bringing back the fashion of the past. 

2024 is bearing witness to the resurgence of vintage fashion. The recently concluded London Fashion Week also featured collections that gave a modern twist to Y2K fashion. Burberry’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection gave a nod to Y2K trends with models wearing low-rise trousers, capris and cargo. The collection also reimagined trench coats with a modern take, transforming them into cropped jackets.
