    Key Takeaways<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    • The latest Y2K trend to make a comeback is the babydoll sweater.<\/li>\n
    • Brands like Hollister and Aeropostale are re-releasing their beloved vintage styles for fall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      If you want to get the most wear out of your fragrance, there are some fairly specific rules for spritzing. You’re supposed to apply directly to pulse points like your wrists or your neck, and beware of rubbing or dabbing.\n<\/p>\n

      Unless you’re wearing your boyfriend’s Jake by Hollister, of course. In that <\/em>case, it should be applied right to the slightly elongated sleeve of your babydoll sweater. You should also spray enough that when it comes out of the washing machine the scent lingers, embedded in the knit fabric for future generations shopping “vintage” on Depop to sniff and remember a simpler time.\n<\/p>\n

      While the citrus and driftwood scent is sadly a figment of the past, 2008’s favorite babydoll sweater is back in a big way this year. You can even buy them new, <\/em>instead of for $200+ on your resale site of choice.\n<\/p>\n

      Ahead, discover everything there is to know about the babydoll sweater’s comeback\u2014and shop the look yourself.\n<\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n

      The Babydoll Sweater Trend <\/span><\/h2>\n

      Structurally, a babydoll sweater is a piece of knitwear with a fitted bodice and a loose hem that flares out from an empire waist. Necklines and sleeves can vary, though the best of them often feature a low scoop or square neck and arms that are just a bit too long.\n<\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n

      But for those of us who spent our tween years in the dim, dark-wood paneled halls of Hollister or loved Bella Swan’s style in Twilight<\/em>, it’s emotionally much more.\n<\/p>\n

      Last year, versions of the popular Y2K era design began popping up on TikTok every now and then as shoppers got smart about their resale search queries, obviously prompting major retailers like Hollister, Aeropostale, or Urban Outfitters to bring the design back. Scrolling these sites, you’ll find a couple key pieces already in danger of selling out. I’m sure <\/em>more brands will take note and start pumping out their own versions soon.\n<\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n

      How to Wear It <\/span><\/h2>\n

      Part of the fun of the babydoll sweater’s renaissance will be seeing how the It Girls of today style it. I’m imagining fall capris and flip flops, and am keeping my eye on Devon Lee Carlson and Addison Rae’s Instagram feeds for all the inspo that’s sure to come.\n<\/p>\n

      If you want to take cues from the past, you’ll need a lacy tank top for layering, skinny jeans, and ballet flats to complete the look. If your Marissa Cooper summer uniform was the denim skirt and a tee shirt, this is a good fall trade\u2014in fact, the sweater would look so cute tossed over that exact combo as well.\n<\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n

      You can also get a similar vibe going by combining your favorite short-sleeved babydoll top with a soft cardigan. It’s not like we had to think about this back then, but this one is great if your office is big on turning up the heat.\n<\/p>\n

      Get the Look <\/span><\/h2>\n

      And now for the shopping. The lights are so much brighter in Hollister these days, so I suggest you dim yours at home and put a livestream of a beach on in the background while you shop. Happy styling, babydolls.\n<\/p>\n
