The Y2K aesthetic follows the trends that were prominent in the late 90s and early 2000s. Inspired heavily by the fear and excitement of the technological advancements, the fashion primarily focused on futuristic styling and colors, such as silver, blue and heavy metals. Interestingly in the early 2000s (from 2001-2007), the style shifted to the Y2k aesthetic we see today. A major theme of this era includes plenty of pink butterfly clips, crop tops, chunky sneakers, mini skirts, and mom jeans. This rejected the grunge aesthetic of the 90s and brought back hyper-feminine silhouettes and color palettes.
