Making 2000’s Lita proud with this.
For reasons that should be fairly obvious, I didn’t get to live my lowrider visible G string phase back in the 2000’s, which is truly such a sad fact of life for me. And as quick as this provocative style came in, it went out of fashion just as quick and was replaced as the 2010’s ushered in the era of high-waisted skirts, jeans and shorts. During this era, it became taboo to wear anything low-rise and wearing such a risky garment would grant you looks of pure horror or disgust in the era of peplum tops and bandage dresses.
And then, in the early 2020’s after the world almost ctrl-alt-deleted itself, a resurgence of the Y2K style came in as Gen Z discovered something of the past while us millennials had the privilege of raiding our packed-up fashions from the garage and pulled out some vintage classics. This pivot in fashion and trends essentially released us all from the chokehold that high-waisted denim shorts had on us. Now you can go for a night out and see women in their high waisted skirts and pants standing next to a bunch of other women in low rise jorts and cargo pants, and both sets of women look absolutely fabulous.
Although for dolls like me who didn’t get to live this important era of girlhood, now’s our time to shine.
I feel like it’s very important to mention that I donned this look for a casual Saturday night Chinese dinner in Newtown with a girlfriend.
For this specific trend, I think the first thing I want to point out is if you’re going to wear a visible G-string, make sure it is visible for those on the moon. Don’t just have a little bit of it poking out, because to me that defeats the purpose of rocking the 2000’s Lita look. Be proud of your specific choice of underwear and own that piece of your sexuality. The height of mine might look ridiculous since it’s almost up to my chest, but that just makes it more impactful than if only a smidge of black was poking out.
I’ve been blessed/cursed with a long torso, so the impact of the midriff and visible G-string is greatly accentuated for me. But goes without saying, just as the above point reiterates, wear a midriff or crop top so that the visible G-string is indeed visible. There is literally no point of having your cheeky thong poke out if a loose fitting band tee is covering it. Like you might as well have worn your ugly underwear for the look because no one is going to bloody see them.
The choice of bottoms is also important to consider because you have to think about what would suit the look you’re trying to achieve. For the best and safest option, I would recommend a baggy trouser or jeans. Loose pants combined with a visible G-string and a midriff top is such a classic 90’s baddie look that you absolutely cannot go wrong with. I would say to steer away from low-rise mini skirts or hot pants because that would mean there’s a lot going on with your look, but also I support a woman’s right to choose whatever path she wants, so you do whatever you want sister.
To complete the look, consider your hair and footwear. I opted to go with the classic half-up half down pigtails – another classic 90’s serve – and some white sneakers, because we all know the most versatile thing in a woman’s wardrobe will be her white sneakers. I can also see something like loose curls and a pair of square heels working with your crop top, visible G-string and low rise pants to complete this absolutely iconic look.
Please don’t judge the image quality. I’ll do better next time, I promise.
