When it comes to fashion, one day you’re in, the next day you’re out, and twenty years later you’re back in again!
Which is why the resurgence of Y2K clothing and accessories is right on time. Yes, teeny-tiny mini skirts, low rise jeans and belly-button bearing baby tees have been reincarnated into the latest trends.
For Gen-Z, velour tracksuits and shiny metallic jackets may feel like a design revelation. But for the fashionistas that actually wore them growing up, it’s a pleasant stroll down a nostalgic catwalk.
And while not every Y2K fashion choice may suit your taste, there is at least one accessory that seems to be universally embraced – the phone charm! Also known as straps or lanyards, you’ll find these beaded tributes to yesteryear on celebrity wrists of all ages, including Kendall Jenner, Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus and J Lo.
Playful, colorful and often very little-girly, these phone case accessories look like something that you may have made at summer camp. But as fun-loving as they are, they do free up your hands while holding your cell phone securely around your list.
Which could prevent you from losing it or cracking your screen in a fatal fall (not to mention possibly water logging it in a toilet. Ewww!).

Are Phone Charms Here to Stay?

So the answer is maybe. But considering how reasonably priced these fun loving accessories are in general, we say it’s a safe investment whether the trend lasts another ten months or ten years.
Ready to get your wrist candy on this summer? We’ve gathered a collection of 32 trendy phone accessories because one is never enough. From girly to hippy to super cool, there’s something to suit your every fashion mood.
