The Y2K "Skater-Girl" Shirt Trend Is Experiencing A Chic Revival

The “Y2K skater-girl” shirt trend is back, but with a more polished, upscale feel. Early-2000s staples—layered T-shirts over long sleeves, low-tops, neckties as necklaces, and a moody alt-rock vibe associated with Avril Lavigne—are resurfacing in a refined form. The article points to modern style influencers like Elsa Hosk and Hailey Bieber using simplified, luxe variations: Hosk paired a white-on-white top with matching long shorts, while Bieber’s GAP campaign featured a layered black cropped tee with contrasting white long sleeves. Alexa Demie was spotted supporting Rosalía’s Lux Tour in California with an oversized tee layered over a black long-sleeved top, and Gigi Hadid wore a faux layered blue-and-yellow cashmere look from Guest in Residence. The trend can be recreated by layering a shirt over a long-sleeved top or buying ready-made “faux layered” versions.
