10 essentials for a successful e-girl look

What is the EGirl Aesthetic? Basically, you could say that this aesthetic is a mix of emo, grunge, mall, and pastel goth fashion, as well as Japanese street fashion (like Harajuku, kawaii , and the casual but still cute style of school uniforms), all collected and showcased online. Thanks to Instagram and TikTok, two image-focused social media platforms that connect people so well, the eGirl aesthetic became so popular so quickly in the mid-2010s.

• But what does EGirl literally mean? Many of the aesthetic trends of the above subcultures are coming back and starting to exist on the internet, hence the name - "electronic" - for the kids . They are tech-savvy, sarcastic, trendy and love anything that can be memed and stylized, while remaining authentic and true to themselves. And let's not forget that the E-girl is one of the least known examples of reappropriation.
• Now let's get to the long-asked question: "What does an egirl look like?" E girl clothing is relatively easy to find , and if you appreciate the aesthetic and the things behind it, it's easy to create beautiful outfits. Even within this already put together aesthetic, there are different types, which we'll get into later.
• As you may have noticed, we used the term "eKids" rather than simply "girls" because this aesthetic is essentially gender-neutral. But sometimes we crave some more feminine clothing. So how do e-girls dress? Here are our top 10 ideas for e-girl outfits.

1) The e girl belt

An e-girl chain belt is a great way to add an extra touch to your aesthetic style. Despite its simplicity, this accessory is a great way to spice up your look. You can use a single piece of metal chain or a combination of chains attached to a leather or canvas belt. When worn with high-waisted cargo pants, a plaid pleated or skinny skirt, or oversized jeans, the metal accents will add a touch of elegance to your outfit.

2) Grunge Checkered Skirt

Pair a pleated mini skirt with a crop top, fishnet tights, high heels or chunky boots to create a sexy and hot look. To complete the outfit, you can wear a leather necklace and a chain belt. For a more calm look, you can keep the colors neutral by using black or gray, or you can add a few bright colors to break it up. Also, plaid pleated or tube skirts are one of the most important items in every E girl's wardrobe , as they can be paired with almost anything.

 3) High heel boots

Equally important to complete and perfect an outfit are boots of all kinds. There are all kinds of thick boots, high heel boots and flat, classic sneakers. Thick platform shoes have a special place in our hearts. You can wear them with a pleated mini skirt or wide jeans. With these shoes, the possibilities are endless and they look good in any situation.

4) The crop top e girl

With a pretty crop top you can accentuate your waist and show a bit of skin. There are so many different styles and you can combine them with a wide variety of clothing. Crop tops go perfectly with jeans or high-cut skirts because together they create the perfect hourglass silhouette. There are sleeveless and strapless models, cardigans and sweatshirts - anything is possible with the E Girl look . Try different patterns like stripes, hearts or sporty motifs and mix them up to find your favorite.

5) The mom jeans

A pair of blue retro mom jeans always highlights the vintage side of the E Girl aesthetic. For a more neutral look, you can pair them with an oversized sweatshirt or hoodie, casual sports shoes, and a few cute accessories like a crossbody bag. Tie-dye patterns can be used for both a retro look and a modern outfit when paired with a pair of faded jeans.

6) Oversized hoodies and sweatshirts

Let's take another look at the perfection of oversized hoodies and sweatshirts. Of course, they are perfect for cool weather and to feel comfortable anywhere. But more than that, these pieces are aesthetic and make it easy for you to put together your outfit. The simpler the main pieces are, the more options you have to use accessories. And of course, the pattern of the sweatshirt can play an important role in shaping the mood of a look.

7) The silver necklace

The necklace is one of the most important accessories because it is simple and attractive at the same time, reminiscent of the fashion of the 90s . You can choose something sleek and understated that does not draw attention and harmonizes perfectly with other silver necklaces. Try a simple metal necklace or something made of leather with studs. Wear it with a high-necked top.

8) Grunge jacket

Grunge jackets are the perfect accessory to complete any egirl style look. They are usually made from washed denim or dark linen. They can be embellished with chains and pins or have a faux fur collar for a vintage look. The jacket can be worn over a crop top with a mini skirt or with wide denim pants and a printed sweatshirt. The jacket can also be printed itself, either on the front or on the back.

9) E-girl shirt

EGirl shirts , whether black or white with colorful prints, can be used to create virtually any look. A simple yet exquisite outfit can consist of ripped jeans, a t-shirt with the logo of your favorite band, chunky sneakers, and chain jewelry. Layering and combining different patterns is always a good idea. A striped long-sleeved shirt under a black t-shirt is remembered as one of the most iconic e-girl outfits.

10) Egirl Hair Accessories

Hair accessories are an important element to perfect the egirl style, so let's look at a few ideas. Butterfly hairpins, big colorful hair clips, and hair ties are commonly used, as well as other accessories reminiscent of the 90s. Anything that contrasts with the hair color will add a pretty touch to any egirl look. Also, a simple knit hat or beret can be the perfect and unique hair accessory for your outfit.
