The high-waisted mom jeans of the &#39;90s are officially yesterday&#39;s news. Exposed midrifts and low-rise bottoms are the foundational 2000s look that will define your Y2K wardrobe.&nbsp;

A cropped cami is a simple&nbsp;yet effective item for your everyday 2000s-inspired attire, especially when styled with your favorite pair of low-cut jeans.

From the cat-eye to the mini lens, sunglasses have seen a number of trends over the last few years. Nevertheless, this functional accessory is often the key to cementing&nbsp;the overall aesthetic of your outfit. The elongated sunglasses favored by Devon Aoki and Lenny Kravitz have recently seen a resurgence on the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/balenciaga-vibram-toe-shoes-demna-gvasalia" target="_blank">Balenciaga</a> runway.
