When considering the most fashionable films of the ’90s and early, it’s obvious to cite classics like Clueless, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, Legally Blonde and The Devil Wears Prada. Despite being an avid fan of these teen-y dramas, there is one movie—and frankly one Y2K style aesthetic—that I think is often slept on: Blue Crush. I grew up with boys, and not just any boys, horrible, boisterous boys, who would make me watch Godzilla, Jackass and Jurassic Park. When it came to so-called “chick flicks,” the one we could all agree on watching on repeat was Blue Crush. Maybe it was Kate Bosworth as the ultimate cool girl in a bikini, maybe it’s just because that film is actually so good, either way, I had no difficulty in persuading my brothers to watch it.

And it might just be time for a rewatch, because lately I’ve noticed the surfing style that was present in fashion in that era is definitely making a comeback. Whilst we’ve been living in a Y2K comeback era for some time, we’ve seen the return of 2000s activewear, capri pants and even multiple It bags of that time, surfcore hasn’t really happened. Until now. From more obvious and actually quite timeless pieces like flip flops and shell details to more divisive trends like board shorts and the colour aquamarine, this movement is about to be a moment.
