If there is one thing that Gen-Z is good at, it's bringing back Y2K fashion trends. From Juicy Couture tracksuits to plaid skirts that would make Cher Horowitzenvious, it could be said that there is a whole era of fashion ready to hit the high street again.
There is, however, one controversial yet iconic '90s and '00s wardrobe staple making a comeback - low-rise jeans. Don't worry, we're just as shocked as you are.
One of our favourite ever Love Island stars and all-round fashion icon Olivia Attwood has been brave enough to embrace the low rise jean trend, so naturally we have another reason to trial it for ourselves.
In a recent Insta snap, Olivia was seen wearing a pair of low-rise baggy denim jeans with a Kim K Skims bodysuit and she looks INCRED. She even helped her followers out by creating a reel tutorial on how to nail the trend. Honestly, could we love her more than we already do? She captioned the reel, "GRWM early 2000’s style 💋."
Fans of Liv were quick to comment on her version of the 00s look, with one commenting, "The nostalgia is real!!!"
Another said, " Outfit is unreal 🙌🏾💯👏🏽🥵."
One more wrote, "The only person who can make low rise jeans look good 😍."
Understandably, not many of us have a pair of low-rise jeans lying around in our wardrobes. After high waisted jeans became our best friends back in early 2010, there was no room left for jeans that you would find Paris Hilton wearing.
But don't worry, we've searched high and low (ha!) to find the best low-rise jeans from the high street...
