Y2K Outfit Ideas: 7 Aesthetic Looks Inspired by Early 2000s Fashion
Y2K fashion is officially back. From baby tees and low-rise jeans to rhinestone accessories and velour tracksuits, early 2000s style is having a full-on revival.
If you're building your dream aesthetic wardrobe or just looking for styling inspiration, here are 7 Y2K outfit ideas you can recreate using thrifted pieces — or skip the work and let ThriftSweets style a mystery bundle for you.
1. Baby Tee + Low-Rise Jeans
This look is effortlessly flirty and perfect for casual days or mirror selfies. The leopard belt and mini accessories scream 2000s pop culture.
A staple Y2K combo. Pair a cropped baby tee with low-rise jeans and add a mini shoulder bag or platform sneakers.
2. Cami Top + Cargo Pants
This combo gives chill, confident energy with a hint of softness. It’s ideal for mall hangs, school days, or TikTok filming.
Lacy camis and cargo pants were an iconic early 2000s pairing. Throw on a zip-up hoodie and some tinted sunglasses to complete the look.
3. Pleated Mini Skirt + Off-Shoulder Sweater
A little girly, a little glam. This outfit works for date nights, brunch, or your next outfit pic moment.
Channel your inner rom-com queen with a fitted sweater and a pleated mini. Add kitten heels, a baguette bag, or leg warmers to complete the look.
4. Tube Top + Denim Midi Skirt
This one brings serious main character energy. Perfect for concerts, thrifting, or any day you want to stand out without trying too hard.
Tube tops are peak Y2K, especially when paired with a denim midi or maxi skirt. Add a chain belt, layered necklaces, and platform sandals.
5. Tracksuit Set + Cropped Tank
The early 2000s called — and we’re bringing back the tracksuit in a big way. Cozy, iconic, and actually super wearable.
A velour tracksuit is the ultimate comfy Y2K look. Pick a pastel or bold color and pair with a cropped tank and chunky sneakers.
6. Mesh Long Sleeve + Mini Skirt
This look gives Y2K alt-girl meets Tumblr OG. Great for cooler nights, layered vibes, or serving lowkey drama.
Layer a mesh top over a cami or crop, then pair with a thrifted mini skirt or low-rise jeans. Add platform boots and accessories for a full Y2K alt look.
