Shop The Biggest Hair Trend Right Now, Y2K-Inspired Accessories

These accessories are the final touch your outfit needs.
Y2k Hair Accessories
By Jamila Stewart · Updated March 8, 2022

If you’ve perused the feeds of any tapped in fashion girl, then you’ve probably noticed – Y2K fashion is back. You’d be hard pressed to find a fashion brand not offering up mini skirts and baggy jeans. Meanwhile, rimless and sporty sunglasses silhouettes are taking over every eyewear brand. The next step to conquering the nostalgic trend? Y2K-inspired hair accessories.

The best part about early 2000s style was the variety of trends to mix and match and play around with, landing on an end result unique to you. That didn’t stop with clothes and jewelry. Take out a page of red carpet and magazine archives of the noughties and you’re bound to find that hair accessories were often the a key player in creating a statement ensemble. There were claw clips with slip dresses, scrunchies for casual updos, and let’s not forget the butterfly hair clips that graced everyone from Tyra Banks to Raven-Symoné, and now today have been revived by the likes of Meagan Thee Stallion and more. Want to get the look? Find some of the coolest style to date, below.
