Reintroducing Handmade Jewellery As A Y2K Trend

FT NEWS

Trends can originate from anywhere; from subcultures, Instagram, TikTok and celebrities or from designer collections showcased on runways. But this year, it arises from our memory of the 2000s. That's right, the Y2K style is what we’re talking about.

Y2K vibes entered the fashion game and all of a sudden and after twenty long years it’s proved to be a vibe we were yearning for. Its trendy-yet-nostalgic style is welcome, especially in the post-pandemic months, where pop colours, metal chains, retro motifs and kidult themes seem like something we want to wear. While Y2K is permeating into fashion everywhere, it is especially coming together in the form of handmade jewellery that can bring a vibrant feeling to a ubiquitous pair of basics, say jeans and a tee. Don't know how to go about it? We present grab-worthy accessories you’d want to take home now.
