The mention of Y2K fashion may make you stifle a yawn—capri pants, heeled flip flops and slip dresses all featured heavily in last summer's most-wanted lists, after all. But with the Lyst Index just dropping for the first quarter of 2026 (the biggest fashion shopping platform, used by 160 million shoppers worldwide), it's clear we're still firmly in the era of borrowing styling ideas from the 90s and 00s.
Take the reignited love for Stone Island, which ranks as the 17th hottest brand of the year so far—with equally well-loved Y2K labels Versace, Burberry and Ralph Lauren all sitting in the top 20. Or consider the hottest product list, which features two track tops: an Adidas 'Chinese-style' track top and the Saint Laurent stand-collar jacket, this quarter's most popular product. Two retro-inspired trainers from Celine and Villase PM. A very 90s Kangol flat cap. And an oversized pair of Saint Laurent sunglasses that Y2K-era Victoria Beckham would most certainly have approved of.
