Y2K is back, baby!
I wrote this piece for thredUP, an online consignment store, to promote their Y2K storefront and to encourage sellers to send in trending items for resale.
Gen Z fashion is a hot mix of bright colors, the 2000s, and your parents’ jeans.
TikTokers, influencers, and celebrities are bringing the beat back on y2k fashion trends. Now this style is in full swing for 2022.
Buying thrifted clothing is an eco-friendly and affordable way to update your wardrobe. On the other hand, reselling your pre-loved clothing with thredUP gives them second life, and gets you money in your bank account, without having to list, promote, and sell the items yourself.
If you’re reading to purge your closet or update your wardrobe ASAP, these trending y2k items are not only hot to pick up for yourself, but hot items to resell.
Grunge Wear
Who could forget the classic Avril Lavine grunge look? And, it’s back in style! So if you’ve been waiting to relive that grunge era, or resell it for some cash, grunge is now in.
Low-Rise All the Way
Low-rise bottoms are making a comeback. All we’ve heard for the last few years is high rise and ultra-high rise, but 2022 fashion is traveling back to the early 2000s low-rise style. They are hot in the thrifting world, and hot items to resell.
Baby Tees
These shrunken down tees are a staple of the y2k scene. Popularized in the 90s by celebs like Drew Berrymore and Jennifer Aniston, Gen Z has brought them back to the forefront of 2022 trends.
Baguette Handbag
These small, sleek handbags are back! First on the scene in the late 90s and early 2000s, these bags are now trending. If you have some unused baguette-style bags stashed away in your closet, they are the perfect item to resell.
Skirts, Skirts, and More Skirts!
Mini skirts, jean skirts, skater girl skirts, midi skirts, you name it. They are all trending items for buying thrifted, and for reselling!
