the 90s and Y2K trend for spring-summer 2023

The Y2K trend (for “year 2000”) is still very strong this year. We continue to recycle our best pieces from the last twenty years, and we are delighted to find styles that we thought had disappeared. The key to this trend of “making new out of old” is imagination. Let your personality speak for better reinventing.

– The “utility” or “workwear” style

First wave to follow, that of the “utility” trend. It dates back to the late 1990s, when pop and hip-pop currents collided and brought out cargo pants and other military accessories. We find them today, still just as practical, but polished and refined over the years.

Add to this an increased awareness of sustainable fashion, and we happily recycle pieces that were designed to go the distance!

– Welcome to the genderless style

In stores, on TikTok or Instagram, you will notice that this neutral trend is more and more present. Gone are the days when wearing a skirt was considered an absolute mark of femininity and jeans a masculine accessory. We have erased the line of demarcation between female and male locker rooms to allow mixtures that are all the more sublime as they speak of our deepest selves.

Do you want examples ? Brad Pitt in a skirt or Timothée Chalamet in a backless suit on the red carpets, which help to normalize gender neutrality on a daily basis.

– The return of the Gothic style

If you needed another proof that the trends of the years 1990-2000 are really at the top, here it is. One example among others: the phenomenal success of the “Wednesday” series, which brings the goth style up to date.

Here are three essential ingredients: layering of materials, return to deep black and celebration of the self.

The trend is everywhere and with all brands. We find gothic glamor at Hermès and Chloé, Balmain which recreates a total look in leather by mixing biker and corset. But also Valentino, Bottega Veneta or even Alexander McQueen, with sublime blouses and drapes.

What 90s and Y2K trendy pieces are you going to wear this summer?

Excellent news ! Chances are you already own most of the must-haves for the spring-summer 2023 season… This year, it’s all about reinvention. Up to you !

– Jeans, denim, still just as essential

Timeless. Since the invention of jeans, no one has ever wondered whether to wear them, but how to wear them.

In 2023, we return to supple, relaxed denim, for a year bathed in comfort. We saw it with the look of Kate Moss by Bottega Veneta or in the Chloé fashion shows.

Finally, we also see another star of the 1990s coming back: the long denim skirt. Always so pleasant and practical to wear, if you have kept yours, now is the time to bring it out!

– Maxi dress trend

We never tire of long dresses either. Summer is the perfect piece that dresses you from the beach to your dinner party, without you even having to think about changing. You can wear a slim model with a pair of skeaners for a brunch, and bring out the same dress with a pair of pumps or kitten heels at a wedding. What more !

Print, material, embroidered details, sheer, you keep control of the model.
