Trendy Retro Products from the 90's and 00's
By Klarna
This years' trendiest blast from the past
One of the biggest trends of this year has been the return of what now is apparently considered retro or vintage products from the 90's and 00's (sighs in millennial). As GenZ rediscover all our childhood favourites, most of us are excited to once again have an excuse to pull out our lava lamp and mp3-player, and let's be honest flip phones are superior! Take a look at some more golden oldies that have resurfaced.
Flip phone
The perhaps most unexpected return in a sea of ever growing flat screens is the iconic flip phone, although the newer versions aren't just for playing snake and don't come with a little hole for your mobile phone accessories, and to be honest we do appreciate the merger of the old with the new, we love the flip phone but we're not sure we could survive without roaming and touch screen. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 is a great and modern substitute for the 90's flip phone.
Lava Lamps
Who needs expensive yoga courses and mindfulness apps when you can stare at neon green slime slowly moving up and down through illuminated liquid in a rocket shaped container? Lava lamps have gone viral amongst GenZers and has been trending on TikTok, and to be honest be still miss ours.

Wired headphones
Brace yourselves millennials, wired headphones are back! If you're traumatised from boxes upon boxes of tangled headphones, or having to hold the wire to you mp3 just right to get any sound then keep scrolling, because wired headphones are in again! According to Klarnas Shopping Index online sales of wired headphones increased with nearly 317% compared with the same month in 2021. So if you really want to nail the retro look why not opt for the Koss Porta Pro Sport, connected to an mp3-player or a Walkman, naturally sported on your belt.
MP3-player
There is something charming about not having access to an infinite library of music, and just a very curated selection of your absolute favourites. The fact is that MP3-players have made an unexpected comeback in 2022. Most do however use it as merely a fashion accessory, but the truth is that many times you will actually get a better sound experience with an mp3 file, for those who want a walkman for the aesthetics but prefer you regularly streamed library there are models now connected to your music apps. If you spent most of your childhood nagging your parents for an iPod Touch, we have some bad news, it's still a pricey device, retailing from £289 with 128GB storage.
Boom box
The was obviously some charm with listening to jumpy CDs and the skills required to rewind a cassette tape. Let's be honest there is something fun about listening to music on a boom box and it seems to be becoming more and more popular once more, luckily the modern version do come with bluetooth, so you can enjoy all those 90's hits on Spotify instead of having to bring your entire CD collection.
Y2K fashion
It is with mixed feelings we greet the resurgence of the early 2000's fashion, on one hand we love the bright colours, prints and butterfly clips, on the other hand we are not going back to low rise jeans and thin eyebrows! But if you're really committing to the style make sure to accessories with a pair of flatforms, a crop top and a baguette shoulder bag.
UGGs
UGGs has been topping our list of most searched for products for many months, and with plumetting temperatures we understand why. Not only does it feel like walking on clouds, they are also very warm and now, stylish. To go full Y2K combine your UGGs with a pair of bell bottom jeans.
Velour
A velour set, in particular Juicy Couture, has been topping our most searched for lists all year. So if you want to channel your inner Regina George and Paris Hilton, then a full velour uniform is the way to go and the more colours the better, but of course baby blue and pink are the classics, pair with a glitter sticker on your hip for an extra layer of Y2K.
Y2K Sunglasses
Even if you are indoors at night time, it's completely acceptable to compliment any Y2K outfit with a pair of thing rectangular sunglasses. Preferablly a pair with a colourful glass that matches your Juicy Couture-set, or why not a heart formed pair?
Puffer jacket
It's a happy accident when a trend correlates with the season: in this case a warm puffer jacket is not only trendy and stylish, it's also perfect for the cold weather. The most popular model is undoubtedly The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket, but there are also plenty of fun and colourful choices to choose from.
Retro Interior Design
Even when it comes to furniture and interior details we're seeing some blasts from the pasts. With both kitsch and colourful 70's and 80's retro designs trending again. Of course if you want to be more true to the 90's and 00's trends then it would be all about horses, dolphins and bead curtains!
Retro trainers
Some classic trainers are truly timeless and 2022 has once again proven it. One of the most trending models have been the so called "dad shoes", where New Balance reigns king. Other popular models with retro vibes is the Adidas Samba, New Balance 574 and Reebok Club C 85.
