If you’ve been following Gigi Hadid, you’ve probably come across some photos of the supermodel in some eclectic outfits made out of matched patterns, child-like colour combinations and even some fuzzy material! It’s the new ‘weird girl aesthetic’ that she’s been rocking recently and we’re obsessed with it. At first glance, it might just look like an odd outfit that’s thrown together haphazardly, but there is beauty to it, not to mention how fun it looks! So here’s a complete guide to the ‘weird girl aesthetic’.
What is ‘Weird Girl Aesthetic’?
Like many fashion trends today, most of them were popularized thanks to TikTok. According to fashion TikToker @thealgorythm, the ‘weird girl aesthetic’ is all about unbounded maximalism! The key elements of the look include colourful patterns, mixed textures, and kitschy accessories. The first thing that might come to mind for some people when they come across this unusual aesthetic is “Is this anti-fashion?”, due to all the unconventional choices this style seems to take. However, it is definitely anything BUT anti-fashion! Rather, it’s a response to the saturation of new aesthetics. Rejecting the constraints of categorical trends (e.g. fashion cores), the ‘weird girl aesthetic’ embraces the experimental nature of finding one’s personal style! It is important to note though, that this aesthetic ignores the influence of the Harajuku fashion movement. Many fashion creators online have built an audience based on the idea that you should just wear WHATEVER you want!
