Analysts predict that the trend will continue until at least the summer of 2024, but may evolve into a more functionally-focused modified version (such as low-waist pants with high elastic fabrics).
This fashion cycle spanning 20 years is not only a tribute to the millennial culture of young people, but also reveals the cyclical nature of the fashion trend. As one fashion blogger said, “Y2K is not a simple replica, but reconstructing the classic from the perspective of a new era.”
