Y2K Trend Spotlight: Ruffles and Rosette Details
With the growing popularity of Y2K inspired fashion this year, two Y2K trends, in particular, have been standing out in the crowd: ruffles and rosettes. Lately, there has been a resurgence of those ruffled fairy-inspired dresses that grew to popularity in the early and mid-2000s, as well as clothes embellished with fabric rosettes (which are so fitting for Spring!). Both of these details are sweet, yet edgy and fun, and they are easy to incorporate into your existing wardrobe! Plus, if you’re already a fan of Barbiecore, Fairycore, or Mermaidcore looks and trends, you’ll love these trendy details too!
One brand in particular that I have been loving lately that has really been embracing the Y2K ruffle and rosette trends is Blumarine. Their designs are right on trend with Y2K, and they offer styles from cargo pants to studded tees to shoes. But, my favorite designs of theirs in particular are their ruffled Y2K inspired dresses and skirts! Blumarine also makes beautiful tops embellished with ruffles and rosettes that are perfect to wear with jeans for more casual days. Their clothes are trendy and nostalgic, but still, feel upscale and elegant. Currently, my two favorite dresses from Blumarine are the Halter Neck Ruffled Mini Dress in Rosa (shop here) and the Rose-detail Ruffled Minidress in Pink (shop here). Shop Blumarine on ModeSens here.
Another popular brand that’s been embracing both the Y2K ruffle and rosette trends is Mango. This brand offers a lot of more affordably-priced pieces (many pieces are under $200), and their dresses are totally obsession-worthy! They also offer a great selection of basics that you can style with their Y2K inspired pieces, which is really helpful when shopping for and styling a complete outfit! My two favorite dresses from Mango this season that reflect this Y2K trend are their Ruffles Slit Dress in Pastel Pink (shop here: https://modesens.com/s/ONO/ ) and their Floral Slit Dress (shop here). Both these styles are effortless, easy to style, and perfect to pack for summer vacations! Shop Mango on ModeSens here.
The Y2K ruffles and rosettes trends are quickly becoming some of the hottest new trends in fashion right now, so I’d definitely recommend adding a few of these pieces to your wardrobe as soon as possible!

The Evolution of Gorp What’s Next for Fashion’s Favorite Crunchy Style? At approximately 450 million years old, moss is widely considered to be the first plant on Earth. It’s found in all nonmarine ecosystems and has continued to survive and evolve for millenia despite numerous challenges, from mass extinction events to climate change. Though the fashion trend cycle is now an internet-driven phenomenon, it can often be just as harsh an ecosystem as the great outdoors. The true test of a style is how it endures over time, and more importantly, if it’s able to evolve.
