Low-Rise Bottoms
Baggy and low-rise is the Y2K shape I'd start with. It looks current, not like a costume.
AGOLDE Low Slung Baggy Low Rise Jeans
A wide leg makes low-rise easier to wear. I'd pick these with a fitted top.

Nothing says 2003 like a bootcut. I'd wear these with a slim top and pointy flats.
Pilcro Billy Low-Rise Bootcut Pants
Corduroy makes the look warmer for fall. This is my pick for a cold-weather version.

Baggy cargos are peak early 2000s. I'd pair these with a tiny tee and sneakers.

Rhinestones are the loud Y2K option. I'd keep everything else simple and let the denim talk.

Baby Tees
A plain fitted tee is the base of every Y2K outfit. I'd buy this one first.
Maeve Betty Crew Neck Baby Muscle Tee
Sequins on a baby tee is pure 2000s party. I'd wear this with jeans for a night out.

Raw edges keep this from looking too neat. I like it under an open shirt.

A small graphic is my favorite way to do this trend. It adds fun without trying too hard.

A loud graphic for teens or anyone feeling nostalgic. I'd grab this for a casual weekend.
Grunge Emo Vintage Graphic Tee Y2k Goth
Easy Extras
An oversized faux leather jacket pulls the whole look together. I'd start here for layers.

A soft floral top for the fairy side of the trend. I'd pair it with low-rise jeans.
Y2k V Neck Floral Fairy Grunge Top
The layered tank over tee is so early 2000s. This one does the layering for you.
