downtown girl aesthetic: fashion history, inspo + styling looks

[@sololiveri9506]

I feel like the downtown girl is a re imagined tumblr girl. I remember that I aspired something like this in 2017. Great video ! ☺

[@halisroom]

It all keeps coming back around so quickly! And thank you!

[@glamzz4480]

Maybe it's just me but I feel there's a bit of 80's feeling coming with it.

[@isabellaa-tm4xu]

not a tumblr girl as tumblr was more vsco and summerish but downtown is more autumnish vives and cuter

[@shineekings615]

@@isabellaa-tm4xu there were people on tumblr trying to recreate looks from the 80s/90s so i feel like ‘downtown girl’ is somewhat similar to that. tumblr was more popular back then so there were a lot of users with different aesthetics. some ‘downtown girl’ pics just look like a tiktok version of 2017 tumblr lol.

@@isabellaa-tm4xuthere was a subculture that was very grunge on tumblr too, ppl tend to call it soft grunge? but tumblr had many subcultures too

[@adrianay.8168]

I love this style so much because it's very practical and easy to recreate with things you already own/ find in local thrift stores so it's less harmful to the environment. Also, it's versatile with every season unlike other trends we see (coconut girl aesthetic). This style also uses so many timeless pieces like leather jackets, baggy jeans, and knit sweaters!

[@halisroom]

100% agree

[@kcobainsgirl]

I love this! I've always kind of considered the downtown girl aesthetic to be like a love-child of the 90s grunge look and the bella swan/elena gilbert esque fashion style.

[@tatianac5720]

Exactly!

[@laylaabdul3329]

I like this aesthetic because so many interesting fashion trends/ categories like cottagecore and barbiecore are seen as VERY out there for places like the suburban area in the Midwest that I live. Downtown girl aesthetic is often pretty casual and incorporates a lot of basics, so you can be seen as fashionable without getting too many looks. yes, wearing whatever you want regardless of people's opinions is important, but it's also nice to feel comfortable.

[@mariamusic22]

I was living the last two years in downtown girl aesthetic and didn't know about it😅 thanks for mentioning "high fidelity" because this show was my huge inspiration ❤ really gooood and informative video!!

[@halisroom]

People are gonna be jealous of you! And thank you so much 🤍

[@typicallymeee]

as someone who was on tumblr from 2013-2016 and was really into “soft grunge”, this is very reminiscent to the style i saw alot back then 😭

[@brisa3767]

[@exomake_mehorololo]

I wore exactly that in the 2000s... 2000s every day wear looked exactly like that from the early to later 2000s. Some styles came and went but the every day wear pretty much that

[@halisroom]

I love that!

[@Sweetinfernalcreature]

I love your styling videos because of the way you put them together (literally polyvore but the vibe too) and your nuanced approach to them.

[@halisroom]

I want to live like a downtown girl, dress like her, and act like her. I want the midset and apartment of a coquette girl (you cannot tell me those are not cousins)

[@VStrauss]

high fidelity Zoe Kravitz

[@luagarciamarcote9976]

what accessories like earrings would you recommend?

[@halisroom]

I’ve seen a lot of different things! But mostly simple stuff like small hoops, studs, small chain necklaces etc. I think lots of stuff could work 🤍
