Oops, we did it AGAIN. Y2K looks are back in action! Nostalgia is trending, and feel-good 00s fashion is back (I mean hey, a flip phone does sound nice…right?). We’re pulling lots of layers, pretty pinks, peekaboo styles & more out of our time machine & adding fresh twists. Read on to see which of your fave 2000s looks have made their way to present day.

CROP TOPS & DENIM

Crop it like it’s HOT! Mid-summer means belly-baring crops to beat the heat (and kick it Y2K style). Rock your fave crop (bonus points for pops of color!) with a denim skirt.

Get the look: OG Groove Crop Top, Denim Circle Mini Skirt

SHADES OF PINK (… & OVAL SHADES)

A shade of pink for Wednesday (& every other day, too). Pretty pink is back! Wear our crop top under our cardigan for the prettiest 00s set around. Don’t forget about the little things: oval shades & a crafty choker pull it all together.

Get the look: Satin Corset Cropped Tank, Wide Rib Cropped Cardi, Real Me Crossover Super Flare, Trend Star Sunnies

PEEKABOO UNDIES

Strings made to be seen! Wear our new SMOOTHEZ Mesh High Cut Thong & let it peek out under some cargo joggers.

LAYERS ON LAYERS

Layer a cardigan over your fave crop top or bralette. Let your SMOOTHEZ No Show XTRA High Waisted Undie peak out under cozy fleece wide leg pants.
