There’s a good chance that you, too, wore it during your teenage years.
The 2000s are making a comeback in our wardrobes. While second-hand platforms are exploding in popularity, one piece is making headlines: a popular iconic t-shirt. Some even exceed 500 euros on Vinted. A look back at this craze for a style relic.
In recent years, wardrobes have been reinspired by the Y2K (Year 2000) aesthetic, mixing boldness, sequins and key pieces that marked the era. Von Dutch caps, Juicy Couture velvet sets and even baguette bags are making a comeback and this wind of nostalgia is also blowing on a very special t-shirt, which has become cult for an entire generation. Today, this garment evokes memories of adolescence and a time when pop culture dominated fashion. On second-hand sites like Vinted, searches are exploding, prices are soaring, and fashionistas are ready to do anything to get their hands on this iconic piece. The stars, veritable traveling showcases, are also bringing this forgotten piece up to date. Lately, fashion figures like Paris Hilton and Dua Lipa have been seen wearing this t-shirt at public events or on Instagram. In short, nothing more was needed to revive the interest of the general public.
On the social media side, same credo. On TikTok, hashtags related to this item of clothing accumulate millions of views. Users share their finds, explain how to integrate it into modern looks and compete in ingenuity to find the rarest versions. Thus, this virtual craze translates into reality by an increase in sales, both online and in thrift stores. And for good reason: the best preserved models or limited editions sometimes sell for more than 500 euros. We’re talking here about the Rolling Stones t-shirt and its iconic mouth.
Marked by his red lips and his hanging tongue, he embodies the exuberance of the 2000s, once acclaimed by celebrities like Britney Spears or Avril Lavigne. So, if one of them is still in the back of your closet, now is the time to put it online.
