People seem to be making up for not being able to dress up over the past year or two. Now they are picking the most shiny and colorful accessories. Since outrageous styles are on the rise it’s no wonder that all things Y2K are making a comeback. This means you’ll be seeing 00’s looks like chain belts back in the jewelry rotation.

Fashion Week was giving off major Paris Hilton and Britney vibes with its major glam looks. You might soon be seeing belted accessories like:
- Chain link look in gunmetal
- Chain belts with dangling charms
- Chunky butterfly belt in silver
- Multiple layers of chains
- A silver chain with sparkling stones
Layered chains are not just for necklines this spring. If you opt for something with multiple strands, charms and a chain link, you’ll be checking off multiple trends at once!
How and Wear
The sky is the limit on how to style these accessories. Mostly you’ll see them looped through beltloops on a pair of your favorite pants. Create the look of a smaller waist by cinching one around an oversized sweater. You may also see them showing up poolside this spring and summer as the perfect bikini jewelry.
So many Y2K-inspired styles are giving us much to love in 2022. Nostalgic trends can come from times of crisis (and we all know we’ve had our share), which may have led designers to reimagine the 00’s dreamlife!
