In case you haven’t noticed, Y2K fashion is back with a vengeance. Shrugs, dresses over pants, and low-rise denim skirts are just a few of the 2000s trends enjoying their moment in the sun again. Isn’t it funny how these trends can instantly transport you back two decades? That was the case when I saw Cardi B’s newest outfit, which immediately made me think of going into Wet Seal at my local mall in 2002 and buying similar jeans.
Photographed in New York, Cardi B wore extra-faded bootcut jeans that simply scream Y2K. Oh, and don’t overlook her excellent Maison Margiela Tabi shoes. As it turns out, plenty of brands have jumped on this denim trend, as evidenced by the plethora of options available at Urban Outfitters, Shopbop, and other retailers. Are you daring enough to try the trend in 2023? Scroll down to see how Cardi B styled it and shop similar pairs for yourself.
