Whether you like it or not, that hazy period between the '90s and the 2000s is back with a vengeance. It was an era of campy glamour, bright colors, and Paris Hilton. Maybe it's because of my recent rewatch of The OC, Blumarine's millennium-inspired runway collection, or a never-ending love affair with pop music royalty, but I welcome the return of the aesthetic with open arms. The latest sartorial relic that celebs and TikTokkers alike are revisiting? The chain belt. Shop 13 styles that will make you feel like a Super (or Jennifer Lopez), ahead.
