Woah, did we just time travel? It seems like the trends we grew up watching on tv as teenagers… are back with a vengeance!
Even though most of Gen Z missed out on the whole y2k experience (that most of us older Gen Zs had to suffer through), they seem to have taken matters into their own hands and brought it back to life!

Time to bring out your inner rocker babe with these absolute knockout boots! Just make sure you put some talcum powder before zipping yourself into a pair of these— our Malaysian heat is not too forgiving when it comes to the material….
Low Rise Jeans

When high-waisted jeans came around, we were convinced that no one would look back. That being said, iconic film moments such as Megan Fox in “Jennifer’s Body” got everyone drooling to bare it all once again.
Layering Two Tops
It’s time to go shopping with your mum in department stores again. These “tuition-friendly” tops are back in trend, particularly due to the rise of popularity of characters such as Rory from “Gilmore Girls” and Bella from the “Twilight” saga.
Chunky Highlights

Hey, hey, you, you—sound familiar yet? Avril Lavigne gave us songs to last a lifetime and it seems like her look is here to stay too. The late 2000s aesthetic of chunky highlights will have you booking a salon appointment ASAP!

Who cares about sound quality— it’s about the look! Tiktokers have been spotted wearing skinny headphones but wearing their Airpods underneath them. Looks like style triumphs usability!
