Imagine the shock of one millennial woman finding out that a trend she thought had vanished in the early 2000s is back in style.
The disc belt, a blast from the past, has resurfaced in the world of mainstream fashion.
Tasha stumbled upon this accessory during a recent shopping spree and knew she had to share her disbelief with others, assuring them they wouldn’t feel like they’ve stepped out of a time capsule.
Tasha, who goes by @tashal1712 on TikTok, spotted the belt at Primark among the summer items and decided to call out the revival trend in a video that quickly went viral, garnering over 2.4 million views and 147,000 likes.
The disc belt is just one part of the Y2K fashion resurgence, following the return of the Gucci logo and preppy hairbands.
Despite being a quintessential item for ’00s it girls, Tasha made it clear in her caption that this trend wasn’t one she was enthusiastic about bringing back: “Not a sick joke. The disc belt officially returns. I feel like I’m a thousand-year-old.”
Curious about the reactions?
Tasha wasn’t alone in her disdain for the belt. One TikTok user commented: “This is one that has no right returning.” And who knows? Knee-high gladiator sandals might be next in line.
Another person chimed in: “I saw someone wear one of these the other day and it was hilarious.” “Clearly, it’s not a joke.”
For some, the belt was more than just an accessory. A user expressed frustration at seeing things from their past making a comeback: “I am more angry that I have reached an age when I can see things returning around!”
One observant TikToker pointed out another resurging trend: “What’s the deal with all the leopard prints everywhere? It’s like they’re taking over the stores.”
As predicted by one savvy user, “I have mine. I knew it would make a comeback.”
