Your friend just texted you a hilarious Harlem Shake Vine. This is, statistically, probably not what you were doing in Reliving a very specific subculture from the period that roughly spans from to — the era of indie pop, ironically oversize eyeglasses, and late-wave finger mustaches — is what countless millennials and Gen Z kids are doing right now, online and in their bedrooms. Girls are recreating outfits inspired by hyper-stylized image macros of flower crowns and band T-shirts they loved in middle school.
Others are digging back into their angst-ridden social media posts from their adolescent and teen years. She noticed something strange was going on when Megamind, an animated movie from , was the most popular film on the platform the week of March Like junk food , video games , and at-home hair dye , nostalgia is a popular pastime even in normal circumstances, but particularly so in an era where the present feels inescapable.
In , millennials flocked to emo-themed concerts to relive the melancholy soundtracks of their youth. In , teens made memes about being nostalgic for , in part because anything before President Trump felt like some long-forgotten past. Now, when a pandemic orders us to stand still at the exact same time, the only way through is back.
For Krystine Batcho, a professor of psychology who studies nostalgia at Le Moyne College, none of this is a surprise. Major life changes, even positive ones — career switch-ups, marriage, moving — always coincide with feelings of wistfulness, a return to a time when things felt simpler and less scary. So does loneliness. Now there are all these choices. Not by choice, but because your university closed down the dorms. Your whole life is online now — classes, grocery shopping, friend dates, actual dates.
It reminds you of another time in your life when online was the only place that really mattered. For year-old student Anna Tulenko, that time was Back then, her all-girls Catholic school had 15 people in each grade, so her real social life was on Tumblr and Instagram, in the fandom communities for alt-pop artists like Troye Sivan, Marina and the Diamonds, and Lana Del Rey. Pair your wide-brimmed hat with a loose, summery dress- preferably in white- to go with that beautiful tan you have from basking in the sun all day.
The flowier, the better- and feel free to pair it with chunky bracelets or necklaces. You'll definitely feel like you're on vacation. Denim always looks best when it's worn in, and it's the best fabric to play around with and DIY.
Opt for a lighter wash, and you can find some great Levi's Trucker Jackets in vintage shops everywhere. Next time you find an oversized denim jacket, crop it yourself for a totally trendy, distressed look. Use some chalk to draw a line where you want it cut, lay your jacket flat, and cut away!
For really worn-in, frayed ends, either tweeze out the threads or toss your jacket in the wash- it's the easiest way to get it looking perfectly vintage. If you decide you love your denim jacket so much you don't want to crop it, feel free to keep it oversized for that perfect '90s throwback look. A worn out and faded light blue wash is ideal for the vintage vibe you're going after! Perfect with black skinnies, you can also use it to dress down a very feminine outfit like a pleated skirt, for example.
A staple in your summer jacket wardrobe as well, your oversized denim jacket can also go great with floral sundresses or high waisted denim shorts for a full-denim look. Every summer, a new accessory trend hits the world by storm.
One that's been around a few years now and that isn't going anywhere is the wicker basket bag trend. Seen on every Instagram and Tumblr beauty, these bags have come in a multitude of different fabrics like straw, wicker, and even bamboo!
Wicker bags go with everything, meaning they're perfect for a day of city shopping and ideal for the beach, too.
The bags range from miniature picnic baskets to big circular cross-bodies. Grabbing one means you can get on this Instagram trend while channeling your inner Jane Birkin. In a time where retro trends are making a comeback, the basic shirt under a dress combo is definitely enjoying its return to the spotlight.

Unexpected fashion twists are key to maintaining that It-girl aesthetic. A trick with your go-to leather jacket? Wear it with a feminine skirt for the ultimate plot twist. If you don't have a floral skirt handy, a sheer, delicate fabric can do the trick too.
The juxtaposition between tough and dainty is the ultimate strategy for playing up an androgynous balance. You can opt to wear your jacket as a cape, making it seem like you really just threw everything together. As for shoes? You can go both ways with this look, as heels give it a bad girl edge while casual white sneakers really play it cool. When the weather starts getting cold, we all opt out of wearing skirts and immediately turn to jeans as our daily uniform.
But it doesn't have to be our staple, especially when maxi skirts are still going strong. And, you can layer accordingly in the fall. In a perfect transitional pairing, wear your midi and maxi skirts with chunky knits over top for a cozy yet put-together look.
If your skirt is floral, make sure your knit is pretty low key so it doesn't take away from whatever is going on with your skirt. Layer a leather jacket over your sweater if it really does get chilly for that New York It-girl look. For some reason, we all have it in our heads that certain fabrics are restricted for the night. This isn't the case at all- and metallics and velvets alike should have their time in the sun!
By making your metallic piece the focal point of your outfit as long as you tone down everything else , you won't look like an absolute disco ball in broad daylight. An easy metallic piece to style is a longer skirt, as you can always tone it down by pairing it with a basic tee, pullover, or simple sneakers.
Espadrilles are the ultimate easygoing comfortable shoe. With the soles usually made up of rubber or rope, these shoes are phenomenal for long walks in the summer and pretty much go with anything. Throw away your old slides or flip-flops and pair your espadrilles with whatever you're wearing- dresses, skirts, shorts, and even jeans.
If you want to dress them up, throw on a wedge pair of espadrilles with your favorite summer cocktail dress - your feet will thank us later. With so many styles of espadrilles to choose from, be it flats, wedges, leather tops, or lace-ups, you're bound to find a pair that you'll wear summer after summer. Tonal dressing is both simple and striking - when done correctly it can look absolutely elegant. It doesn't require you to wear an entire suit, but you get to play around with textures and fabrics, such as leather and tulle, using hues to your advantage as well.
Going tonal is a real chance to play around with fashion, so don't be afraid to mix patterned tones with solids! Another tip is to layer your tones, making sure to show all of them off- looking like a Pantone of effortless ease. Turtlenecks mixed with wrap coats and pants all in similar hues make you look ultra chic! Keep an eye on what other popular profiles are wearing and try to add in some fresh elements into your own looks—without looking like a copycat.
Once in a while, try something weird and daring. Something that other Tumblr girls haven't done. If you have enough followers, it might just catch on. Let your style go from casual to formal, from the beach to the snow.
Don't just show off your summer party dresses, Tumblr girls have great looks for every occasion and every season. Learn how to look stylish and unique even in big winter coats or a simple bikini. And dress with the seasons! Know what's in style for the season. Start with some Tumblr girl staples. Tumblr girls are each unique and fresh, but there are some that tend to be popular. Start with these to put yourself in the Tumblr girl crowd, and then branch out with your own unique touches.
Some items in the Tumblr girl look include: [1] X Research source Highwaisted shorts or pants. Get the makeup right. Every girl is different, but Tumblr girls usually look like they are wearing very little makeup—nude lips, especially.
This makes it like like they are normal, casual, relaxed people just having fun, and confident in themselves and how they look.
Tumblr girls tend to have very prominent eyes, which means eyeliner and plenty of mascara—sometimes fake eyelashes, but not noticeably fake. Make sure that your eye makeup is prominent, but not super crazy, because then you will look like you have dead eyes. Don't be afraid to change it up. Once you develop a natural makeup look, you can make a photo pop with bright lipstick.
Find a fun and unique hair style. There is no one hair style that all Tumblr girls have. They can be blonde, brunette or redhead. Their hair can be very short or very long.
It does have to look styled, however. Change your hair frequently. One of the secrets to keeping your look fresh and cute to a big audience on Tumblr is to change your hair style a lot. Do something new every few months, either changing the color, letting it grow out, cutting it short, or buzzing it on the side. Changing your hair will make your old outfits seem new.
If you have long hair, style it in different ways. Try curling it, wearing it to the side, or just braiding it. If you do prefer to keep a single hairstyle without changing it, let it change and refine over time.
Don't keep the same hair. Change your setting. Once you've got your own look, your work isn't done. Make sure your room is decorated in a fun and fresh way that goes with your style and personality. Find photogenic places outside around your neighborhood or town that you can go to take your photos. Natural lighting is very important to a lot of Tumblr girl photography, so make sure the outside places you go compliment your style as well.
Part 2. Get a good camera and equipment. Successful Tumblr girls do a little more than just camera-phone selfies. Buy a decent DSLR camera and a tripod and learn how to use them well. Consider investing in some professional camera lighting. If you are going to be taking some of your photos inside, having better lighting can make all the difference. Take cool photographs. This is the essence of being a Tumblr girl.
Your photos need to be cute and flawless, but at the same time look like you have a semi-normal and accessible life. Use natural light. Go outside or find a sunny room in your house to take your photos. You can take some inside shots too, but don't ever use light that is going to blow out your complexion unless you can correct it in Photoshop. Find unique settings. It isn't just the outfits that make them so popular: Tumblr girls always seem to be out and about in interesting places.
Check out the most photogenic places in town, from parks to old buildings, from graffiti-covered train tracks to your friend's pool. Even just a wooden fence or a brick wall can make a photo pop.
Try different poses. Don't just stand there: mix it up with smiles, grins, glares, dance moves, gang signs, and so on. Bring in other characters.
If you have friends who want to get in on the Tumblr style action, let them join you in some of your photos. Involve your pets, too. Nothing says "Tumblr" like a cute girl in a cute dress with a cute dog. Edit your pictures with Photoshop.
There's no getting around it: the proper application of Photoshop, or occasionally some other photo-editing software, will improve your photos and let you touch up your own skin and features to achieve that flawless Tumblr girl look. Tumblr girls never seem to have red-eye in their photos, do they? That's because they use Photoshop. Just be careful: when used poorly it will be painfully obvious that your pictures are Photoshopped. Try different filters to make your photos look more scenic.
