Y2K is back, baby! And it’s back with a vengeance. This playful trend popularized in the 2000s has been all over the internet, fashion shows, and celeb wardrobes. Scroll through TikTok enough, and you’ll feel like it’s the early 2000s all over again!

In the sea of denim skirts, chunky heels, and bejeweled jackets, we mustn’t forget about the Y2K accessories. Among these, one accessory has undoubtedly experienced the biggest boom in popularity – Y2K sunglasses.

If you can’t wait to hop on this trend, we’ve got good news. This guide will walk you through some of the most popular (and attractive) Y2K sunglasses styles. Even better, it’ll show you where to buy them without as much as closing your browser. Let’s dig in!

Which Y2K Sunglasses to Choose

Y2K glasses, like the rest of the fashion trend, can’t really be put in a box. They range from sleek and futuristic shades to over-the-top, chunky beauties that command all the attention. So, it’s up to you to find the style that works best with your aesthetics. We’re just here to provide you a list of some of the most iconic styles to choose from.

Go Big or Go Home

Shield glasses are a staple of the Y2K fashion trend. After all, what’s not to like? They’re big, bold, and a tad extravagant. In other words, they are Y2K personified.

Many celebs and fashion influencers opted for this attention-grabbing style. However, our favorite is probably Paris Hilton, aka the queen of Y2K and a legend of the early 2000s.

Her usual shades of choice are Giant Vintage’s ZIPPER model.

Add Some Color to Your World

We know that most people prefer playing it safe with a pair of darker sunglasses. But if one day you feel like adding a pop of color to your outfit, you can’t go wrong with Y2K sunglasses with colored lenses. Follow in Chloe Bailey’s footsteps and go for something like TONER, a pair of pink rimless sunglasses with a little color and a lot of attitude.

Do you want your frames to pop out, too? No problem, we’ve got just the solution. Put on the HIGH PROFILE square glasses and watch heads turn as you go by.

Back to the Future

Y2K is often described as a retro style with a futuristic vibe. If you want to lean into the futuristic part, choose Y2K shades in unusual shapes and shiny silvery colors. You can get inspired by Jordyn Woods’s look at the 2023 London Fashion Week and sport a pair of striking LITHIUM glasses.

Geometry Is Fun

If you want to add some visual interest to your outfit, consider choosing geometric Y2K glasses. These can make any outfit look good while adding a hint of retro nostalgia. Best of all? They can work for any face shape! Check out Giant Vintage’s MARY KATE model to get inspired.

A Cat-Eye Moment

Cat-eye sunglasses are striking on their own. Add the playfulness of Y2K, and you get the perfect combo for standing out from the crowd. This exact blend can be seen in the yummy YUMMERS model from Giant Vintage. Best of all? This frame will be flattering on various face shapes, including oval, square, and diamond.
