There is no shortage of futuristic and technological outfits this year, thanks to the Y2K trend!
2000 was a year when everyone was imagining what technology would be like in the future. This trend also influenced the fashion industry, forming a unique Y2K aesthetic that infiltrated all kinds of fashion. It was a time of avant-garde, bold, and psychedelic designs exuding a strong sense of the future with technology, three-dimensionality, highly saturated, and vibrant colors. Materially, they were mostly made of metal, patent leather, PVC, and plastic. The new generation of Gen Z loves millennial culture, reviving the Y2K style and elevating the retro style to another level.
metallic elements
Y2K's alternative sci-fi and utopian aesthetics are recreated through metallic luster, illusion, laser gradient, coupled with other materials, presenting a strong sense of technology, machinery, digitization, and coldness, with a hard-edged style and, for example, metallic silver-gray clothing, reminiscent of astronaut attire.
3D feel
Patent leather, translucent plastic, woven fabric, and other glossy and reflective smooth materials create a sense of three-dimensionality, curviness, and special cut design, to show a surreal futuristic look. As a result of the gluey shiny fabrics, a jelly texture is delivered, which is unusual and fun, but very eye-catching, attracting generation Z whose love of originality and innovation is so strong.
Vibrant and bold color
Besides metallic colors, large areas of color will also collide skillfully to create a striking visual effect. It is bold, dazzling, and full of vitality thanks to the saturated and bright colors used along with the extreme contrasts between warm and cold colors.
