A Y2K Collection for Everyone Who Remembers (or Missed) the Moment

Some people remember Y2K for the glittering outfits, rhinestone belts, and going-out tops that shimmered under club lights. Others remember the world holding its breath at midnight, waiting to see what would happen when the year turned over.

I remember both.

I remember getting dressed for nights out in the early 2000s, working my way through jobs, friendships, and a changing world — all while knowing exactly why I was wearing what I was wearing. I knew what those clothes meant to me, and I also knew how out of reach many of them were.

Back then, a “must-have” top for going out could easily cost $65, $75, even $85 — prices that were way beyond my budget most weeks. I’d scour secondhand racks for that one covetable piece, the one that made me feel like I was part of something. And when I found it? I wore it everywhere.

Now, decades later, Y2K style is back — but this time, I get to bring you the best of it without the price tag that kept so many of us looking in from the outside. The Y2K Collection at Manzanita is filled with the same kinds of aspirational pieces, now priced at $33 to $44, and carefully curated to feel contemporary, wearable, and full of possibility.

This isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about reclaiming an era, celebrating personal expression, and making it accessible to everyone — whether you lived it the first time, are just discovering it, or have never stopped dancing in sequins.

The Y2K Collection drops this week exclusively on Instagram.
