Given fashion's ~cyclical~ nature, it comes as no surprise that trends from the past will always make their way into the present. One of the top enduring examples of this is Y2K fashion, and it has been given a much-needed 2022 update! From baby tees to animal print, these pieces have begun to snake their way into people's closets over the last few years.
One celeb who undoubtedly adores this trend is Lorin Gutierrez. The 18-year-old's sartorial formula usually includes low-rise jeans, halter tops, baby tees, and more that make her look like she came straight from the early aughts! If you need a crash course on the fashion of the early 2000s that's been given a modern spin, she's definitely your girl.
Ahead, we round up 8 Y2K wardrobe must-haves every girl needs, as seen on Lorin's Instagram:
1. Halter top
Halter tops are an *essential* part of Lorin's wardrobe. Give it a more 2022 feel by picking a neutral color like sage green.
2. Baby tee
A baby tee is a key piece in noughties fashion. You can choose a bold design like Lorin's and make it the talking point of your outfit, or you can also choose to go the more minimalist route.
3. Crop top
With our country's eternally hot weather, you can practically wear crop tops any time of the year. Bonus points if they have fun prints! ;)
4. Silk dress
A silk dress lined with lace on the neckline and hem is equal parts chic and comfy. Lorin also paired her slip with a pearl choker as a testament to her commitment to the fashion of the early aughts.
5. Low-rise jeans
Lorin is a big fan of low-rise jeans, and you can always spot her sporting the early 2000s-approved bottoms in most of her OOTD pics. If you're feeling daring, you can pair it with a crop top!
6. Trucker hat
Keep the rays away from your face with the early aughts' version of the dad hat.
7. Animal prints
The noughties were all about statement pieces, so animal print is a must. Lorin used a fuzzy cheetah print messenger bag to complete her otherwise minimalist outfit.
8. Chunky boots
When it comes to footwear, you can never go wrong with chunky boots! They're a worthy investment since they go well with everything, from dainty dresses to rugged jeans.
