I have such a love hate relationship with curated aesthetics but I love the downtown girl look!

[@P-Funk69]

As an old fart over here who lived through all this you explained it perfectly. I totally get this aesthetic as I lived it but it was called something else then, so hearing your definition is helpful to keep me in the loop as much as an older person can. Plus it helps me talk fashion with my 14 year old niece 😊

[@lillyturmel]

awww thats so sweet!! I'm glad I could help out

[@heesjayu]

I really love this style but the thing is, I have see through bangs. would the hairstyles with see thru bangs still fit the downtown aesthetic ?? ( this question might sound kind of dumb but I’m curious 😭 ) love the video btw !!

[@lillyturmel]

by see through bangs im going to assume you mean kind of whispy bangs? If so, i definitely think it would work! i think it would add some femininity to the styles and would be super cute

[@forevermoa9378]

Omg haerin

[@MariaDiaz-ih7os]

@@lillyturmel what about short Bob black dyed hair? ❤️

[@lillyturmel]

@@MariaDiaz-ih7os I think the clip & the buns would look super similar... and would almost be easier. Instead of making the buns like regular buns, just loop through like a pony tail and stop halfway, leaving some hair out

[@maryaetayeb5143]

One thing that definitely sucks is that I love in canada and it's SO hard too find cute downtown girl stuff here. there's no brandy Melville or anything like that which is sad since I definitely wanted to get more into the downtown girl this fall even though the trend is kind of over. love the video though. ❤

[@lillyturmel]

YES so true... like now that i live in toronto i have access to brandy but other than that there isnt much, but Garage is the best for pants and some baby tees and H&M has good graphics

[@cinnamon5225]

can you buy online?

[@maryaetayeb5143]

@@cinnamon5225 I definitely can buy online but I just don't find a lot of things that I like that don't cost a lot of money. H&M does sell some cute graphics but I have have been trying to avoid fast fashion for many reasons. I love garage but it is a little pricy and I definitely don't have a lot to spend. I've gone thrifting many times before but everything I find there is not what I'm looking for especially since I live in a smaller town with not a lot of stores.

[@JuliaCusson-yv7kp]

@@cinnamon5225 yes you can!! brandy is online and so are a lot of other stores :)

im mix of both uptown and downtown girl

[@rainydvze]

How can I be a downtown girl with bangs?? I would love to have them but I have to do dance do I need to be bang-less and have long hair. Do you have any suggestions? :)

[@lillyturmel]

I feel like curtain bangs or long bangs are cute, and make it easy to slick back for dance but honestly any of these hairstyles with short bangs are still super cute, since they make it look more innocent. I used to be a cheerleader, so I totally understand short bangs can be annoying to put up but with some clips & gel it stays back pretty well.

[@OnlyLian]

I have problem which is that my hair is more of a curly thick poof hair idk what kind of hairstyles would fit the aesthetic and not damage my hair yk

[@lillyturmel]

I think that claw clips & half up/half down styles look cute for curly hair!!

[@camari3mber]

can you do braids, like Dutch of French? They always look pretty cute x

[@Cozyyduckk]

Ik i sound kinda stupid but will long dress work? Or with baggie tops? Like i m a muslin and I can’t really wear tight clothes ….

[@lillyturmel]

I'd suggest really baggy tops & pants, then, more of a streetwear take

[@AnnieMustange]

Where is the leather jacket from?

[@lillyturmel]

the brand is Danier, but I thrifted it, I always see tons of them thrifting so they're easy to find!

[@Cutmeclean]

Im trying to be a grunge downtown girl

[@violet._.watson]

would a wolf cut be good for a downtown girl life style

[@lillyturmel]

omg yes!!! it fits the vibe so well

[@Audrey_cuteness]

I love the hair styles, but it’s kind going to be rough with my wavy hair😅

[@dreaming24]

SAME!! ugh I'm looking for a good haircut for my wavy hair but it's just difficult to choose a suitable haircut

[@definitelynotmayah]

sooo im black, i wear my hair in braids- have any ideas for hair?

[@lillyturmel]

Im guessing you wear your hair curly then? I think it would depend on the length of your hair but low space buns would look super cute, and its hard to explain in words but this is a good alternative for the claw clip style: www.pinterest.ca/pin/955748352149791988/

[@definitelynotmayah]

@@lillyturmel thanks !!

[@Cutmeclean]

What would a downtown girl scent be (pls give me more then one)

[@lillyturmel]

not sure about specific perfumes but I would go with something more woodsy or citrus-y instead of floral!
