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

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

Someone else chimed in: ''Getting so triggered.<\/p>\n
''The super low-rise jeans, though. Nothing beats their beastly ways.''<\/p>\n

''I could never understand why girls wore this over a long tight T-shirt,'' a bloke penned.<\/p>\n
As internet users soon came to learn, the high street brand was not the only one to desperately try to reintroduce this trend back into our lives.<\/p>\n
''Couldn't believe when I saw these in H&M last week,'' a fashionista replied, sharing a snap of the infamous belt.<\/p>\n
''Swear these were \u00a35 from Primark and New Look way back then?'' a shopper was stunned by the high prices.<\/p>\n
However, whilst the Noughties came with some questionable<\/em> trends, recent research by Money.co.uk\u00a0found that searches for \u201cY2K top\u201d increased by a whopping 950 per cent in the last year.<\/p>\n
The ever-growing appetite for this has also been evident on the high street, where fast fashion brands, like Zara, do everything to satisfy the hungry customers.<\/p>\n
One shopper, for instance, recently came across a top that instantly brought back memories of the early 00s – this was complete with an in-built necklace around the top half.<\/p>\n
Another garment that the Spanish-based Zara shocked its shoppers with not so long ago was the so-called popcorn top.<\/p>\n
Now running with a slightly different name, their Creased Top with Raised design retails for \u00a319.99 and is available in a wide range of colours.<\/p>\n
The 2000s-inspired garment has already taken\u00a0TikTok by storm, with fashion lovers left unpleasantly surprised by seeing it in stores again.<\/p>\n
One of those who was stunned when spotting it was social media user Erin Miller (@overthemoonfaraway).<\/p>\n
Perhaps overwhelmed by nostalgia, she decided to order the top and shared the reaction to her 2million fans on the platform.<\/p>\n
After opening the package, the style lover was in for a surprise, realising just how teeny the garment was.<\/p>\n
Posing with the top, which she had purchased in a vibrant lime green, Erin said in\u00a0her video: ''As big as my palm…<\/p>\n
''I really hate the texture,'' she added once the cropped piece of clothing was on.<\/p>\n
It wasn't just Erin who wasn't the biggest fan of the style item – over a thousand people flocked to comments in sheer horror.<\/p>\n
''No, please don't bring these back,'' one begged.<\/p>\n
''The colour is beautiful on you. 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>\n
