Okay, so I’ve been seeing “jorts baggy y2k” all over my feed, and I had to try it. I’m a sucker for anything Y2K, and baggy jeans are my jam, so this was a no-brainer. Let me tell you, it’s a whole vibe.
Finding the Right Jorts
First, I scoured some thrift stores. That’s where the real magic happens, you know? I wanted something authentic, not some fast-fashion knockoff.
I found a couple of promising pairs. One was super light wash, almost white, and the other was a classic medium blue. The key is they had to be BIG. Like, I could fit another person in there with me, almost. I ended up grabbing both because, why not?
The Baggy Factor
Back home, I tried them on. The light wash pair was HUGE. Seriously, I pulled them up as high as they could go, and they were still super slouchy. The medium wash was a little more fitted but still had that essential baggy look. I kinda liked how they both looked, each gives a different style.
Styling It Up – Y2K Style
Now for the fun part – making it Y2K. I had my choices.
- Option 1: Baby tee! I found a cropped, tight-fitting tee with a little graphic on it. Perfect!
- Option 2: A tube top! I dug out a strapless black tube top. Classic.
- Option 3:An oversized hoodie. I borrowed my boyfriend oversized hoodie. Super Comfort!
I went with the baby tee first, but I’ll definitely be trying the other looks later.
Shoes and Accessories
For shoes, chunky sneakers were the obvious choice. I have these platform ones that I love. And for accessories, I kept it simple – a little chain belt and some small hoop earrings. I didn’t want to overdo it. Simple is the best.
The Verdict
I am loving this look! It’s comfortable, it’s stylish, and it’s totally giving me those early 2000s vibes. I wore the light wash jorts with the baby tee and sneakers out to get coffee, and I got so many compliments. I felt like a total cool girl. The medium wash ones I’ll probably save for a night out, maybe with a slightly dressier top. Will try it next time!
Definitely give this trend a try if you’re into the Y2K aesthetic. It’s easy to pull off, and you probably already have some of the pieces in your closet (or your local thrift store!).
