Fashion Aesthetics
Though different styles have always existed, the rise of social media has made the work of sharing and categorizing them far easier. Looking to experiment with your wardrobe and change up your aesthetic? Read about these common styles to get inspiration now!
Casual
Casual fashion emphasizes ease and comfort. Think sweatpants, sweatshirts, and maybe a messy bun for those with long hair. Some people default to casual wear out of convenience, while others specifically hone the look to reflect leisure. Casual may not be appropriate for certain more formal settings, but it is easily one of the most widely worn and appreciated styles.
Formal
Formal attire is for those who value preparation, occasion, and ceremony. Suits are a classic example of formal attire, with many enthusiasts always seeking out the most artisanal, high-quality pieces to build their ensemble. Wearing formal attire can often be a statement outside of formal contexts, but it often serves as a confidence boost for those who know they are looking their best.
Cottagecore
Cottagecore is an aesthetic that can certainly attribute its popularity to the Internet. It is associated with a nature-oriented, simple, and idyllic lifestyle. Clothes in the cottagecore style often have flower patterns, frilly hems, and lace. Cottagecore has also spawned subsets of aesthetics such as dark cottagecore or faecore.
Goth
The goth aesthetic is one of the most instantly recognizable. Associated with the UK punk scene, it often features heavy eyeliner, lots of black clothes, and body piercings or tattoos. For those who like a more dramatic look or who prefer to get experimental with their fashion, the goth aesthetic and its many variations are worth exploring.
Vintage
Vintage fashion looks to the past for clothing inspiration. If you find that you are unsatisfied with the state of modern dress, you can always research fashion eras that have come before! Though collecting genuine vintage pieces can get expensive, those who favor the quality of older pieces will find the project worth their time and money.
The above are just five aesthetics out of many. Feeling overwhelmed by the options and conflicting pieces of advice on the web? Upload a picture of yourself and we will try to style you according to your vibe!
