Back to the past
While it’s not new to the fashion scene, it’s refreshing to see a nostalgic style we’ve all done at one point in our childhood. From shoulder bags, mini bags, to backpacks—they had funky keychains dangling that made them look extra cute that time.
However, this style retired for quite some time when people started to lean towards a clean look when it comes to accessorizing. But it is expected in fashion that once we’ve grown accustomed to one trend, it’s bound to switch to the other side to keep things exciting.
The switch of micro trends
Since fashion enthusiasts have been taking their time with Y2K fashion, we went from pared-down minimalism to ultra chic maximalist that takes us back to ten years ago. And now, the retired accessorized bag makes its comeback to the mainstream culture.
We’re seeing iterations of the style as influencers post their outfits featuring their blinged up bags. Chain links go across the straps, pendants are hanging on the side, while others are adding pins on the exterior. It’s definitely a playful way of elevating your go-to bag and it’s a nice detail to those who are enjoying the Y2K train.
If you’re thinking of jumping on the bandwagon, all you have to do is get creative in your choice of accessories. Make sure to choose eye-catching designs for keychains and don’t forget to bundle up two to three for the ultimate early 2000s finish.
