First, let’s delve into what Y2K aesthetic is all about. The Y2K era was the abbreviation for the decade following the year 2000.

The term ‘Y2K’ came into existence because of the concerns of computers not being able to format the date properly after the year 1999 and it was commonly referred to as the Y2K bug.

In terms of fashion, this era reflected technological advancements where silver clothing, low-rise bottoms, platform shoes, futuristic fabrics dominated the scene.
