Trending Y2K Jewellery That Are A Must-Have
Unless you’ve been far from social media for a long time, you know what Y2K is and how it’s taking the fashion industry by storm, fastening production cycles and epitomizing designs - say chokers, enamel rings or beaded necklaces.
Inspired by the pre-electronic age that flashed between the late 90s to early 90s, fashion currently is peculiarly popular, for it is a rendition of creative self-expression, handcrafted styles and flattering materials. Thoughts go to a myriad of things when we ponder Y2K, but collectively, it’s about how cool, glam and unapologetic the vibe is.
Taking the mood forward, Outhouse Jewellery, an Indian bridge luxury brand, conceptualised OH Dopamine by correlating trends of euphoria and maximalism. OH Dopamine, a collection which is an ode to the Y2K era, got its title from the dynamic dopamine rush one feels while reminiscing over those nostalgic years (if you’re old enough!). Integrated with today’s preferences of bold, eccentric and unconventional, Outhouse presents must-have Y2K jewellery.
