STYLE fans have been left totally horrified after spotting a Y2K-inspired belt at Urban Outfitters – and some say they feel triggered.<\/p>\n
This happened after one fashionista, Coco Khan, took to X – also known as Twitter – to share a snap of the pricey find she had stumbled across on the brand's website.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The UO Large Concho Belt was priced at \u00a336 and came with ''soft leather discs and metal eyelets studded throughout the once-popular Y2K accessory.<\/p>\n
Shoppers, who can pair the buy with low-rise bottoms or a skirt, can also pick between three colours – these include brown, black and white.<\/p>\n
The round leather discs also come with ''cowboy-ready'' embellishments on the metal elements, the models on the fashion ad revealed.<\/p>\n
However, the trend, once loved and adored by celebs on runways decades ago, didn't appear to be a hit on social media, where fashion fans were mortified.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After seeing Urban Outfitters selling this item for an eye-watering \u00a336, Chloe wrote in her post: ''*screams in ageing millennial*. <\/p>\n
''What in the y2k is this?! The 00s most unflattering belt is back at urban outfitter for\u2026. \u00a336.''<\/p>\n
The tweet soon garnered quite the attention, winning dozens of reposts, hundreds of likes and numerous responses.<\/p>\n
''Wore mine with a long linen skirt when I entered my Sienna Miller era LOL, what a time,'' one X user said.<\/p>\n

But I hate those shirts so much,'' another added.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A third shared their mortifying story: ''I remember I had a yellow one and someone told me I looked like a big bird and I never wore a popcorn shirt again.''<\/p>\n Someone else reckoned: ''OMG that's one thing I would've been fine with not coming back.''<\/p>\nMoment Prince Harry walks past Brooklyn Beckham amid families’ ‘bitter rift’<\/h3>\n
