The Key Styles You Need To Nail The Latest Post-Y2K Revival

A shift dress was the foundation on which almost every iconic Twee look was built. Luckily for us, this silhouette is deceptively versatile and can work for almost any occasion. Choose a classic knee-length shift if you’re heading back to work, or pick one with a fun print for a nostalgic twist on weekend dressing. Easing into cooler weather? Name a more Twee duo than a shift dress and a pair of stockings.

A wardrobe staple we’re already well-versed in, no true Twee devotee would be caught sans an impressive cardigan collection. Keep yours close-fitting and slightly cropped for a faithful homage that works with everything from high-waisted denim to tailored skirts. 

Speaking of, nothing says Twee quite like a statement collar. Whether peeking out over the top of aforementioned knit or tucked into an A-line skirt, a shirt with a statement collar will perfectly toe the line between playful and pretty. With pussybow, pilgrim and pointed all trending, there’s plenty of choice beyond the classic Peter Pan collar if you want a fresh take.

Whether round or pointed, a pair of ballet flats (or ten) could be found in every Twee’s lineup. If the ultra-femme look isn’t for you, Mary Janes, Oxfords or chunky loafers will work just as well.

It’s just as much about the accessories when it comes to Twee. Swap your micro bag for a commute-friendly satchel (buckle hardware’s a bonus), or bring throwback vibes with a beret. Perfect your cat-eye with a flick of liquid eyeliner, or lean into the lifestyle with record players, vinyl and nostalgic decor.
