I Hate to Say It, But Y2K Sunglasses Are Officially "It"

I won't lie, I've feared this day ever since I heard rumblings of the early-aughts resurgence that's now descended upon the fashion world. I watched while divisive trends like platform flip-flops and low-rise denim came back onto the scene and secretly held my breath hoping that one particular trend from the era wouldn't manifest in the present day. But honestly, no matter how in denial I might be, I simply can't fight it anymore. The early 2000s train truly stops for no one and the latest trend to arrive in its wake (and the object of my fear) is none other than Y2K sunglasses.

I don't make the rules, but it's all but impossible to ignore that the shades are trendier than ever. Fashion people up and down my timeline are donning the rimless, translucent, and shield-shaped sunglasses and their cool outfits are maybe, just maybe, changing my mind on the accessory. The outfits I'm noticing incorporate other key Y2K trends like trucker hats, body jewelry, and low-slung denim. No matter how you feel about them, you can't deny that the throwback shades are "it" right now. Ahead, see how insiders are wearing Y2K sunglasses and shop modern-day versions (and some vintage pairs, too).

The perfect shade of pink.
At $14 for three pairs, honestly why not?
I'm pretty sure I had this exact pair in 2001.
This shade of brown is surprisingly wearable.
Fact: Amazon is swimming in Y2K shades.
Trendy, but not too trendy.
Styling these with a halter top and low-slung jeans would be a whole vibe.
This soft lavender hue is so pretty.
I'm here for a little bit of crystal action.
Clear shades may not block out every last UV ray, but at least they will go with any outfit.
Vintage Chanel. Enough said.
This shield shape is everywhere right now.
*Adds to wishlist*
I feel like these are something Paris Hilton or Kate Moss would have worn in the early aughts.
Bring on the bling.
It's the rhinestone heart for me.
Urban Outfitters is investing deep into the trend.
It was hard to choose between the three colors these come in since they're all so cool.
I'd wear these with a ribbed tank and flatforms.
The bigger the logo, the bigger the impact.
Into this retro shape.

Speaking of the Y2K renaissance, these 2000s shoe trends have fully infiltrated 2021.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
