Break out the low-rise and…well, pretty much every Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera outfit from the early 00s!

Fashion experts are claiming that the early 2000s are back, including low-rise jeans. One of the biggest sellers on the shopping app Depop are all vintage Y2K: satin bustiers, low-rise cargo pants, tiny baguette bags, halter tops, baby tees.

The return to trendiness of low-rise jeans, in particular, is actually setting up something of a generational battle between millennials and zoomers, as the millennials who lived through the trend the first time are begging zoomers not to buy them.

It isn’t working.

“People always want change in fashion,” fashion journalist Sarah Spellings said in an interview with Vox. “If anything, the vitriol against low-rise jeans has made them more appealing to young people and pushed them further into the limelight. When I was a teenager, I didn’t want to wear what my mom was wearing. It’s human nature to want to push back and try new things and be a little provocative.”

There is a number of ways people are finding to be more inclusive, body-type wise, with the low-rise phenomenon. Just go through #lowrisejeans on TikTok to find the videos.
