What is the e-girl style?

The e-girls present references of punk, grunge, gothic and also of the Japanese anime culture. The style is also considered the opposite of soft girls, which have a cuter aesthetic.

With loaded makeup, dark clothes and, almost always, using plaid or stripes prints, e-girls are very successful on the social networks Instagram and TikTok. Check out some important features to adopt the look:

• Heavy makeup: perhaps the most important detail of this aesthetic is makeup. Some striking features are the very apparent outline, red shade or in another vibrant tone, well-lit skin and very blush. The lips are also well marked, leaving the mouth with a larger appearance, and other items, such as drawings on the face, are also part of make e-girl.
• Colored hair: another important detail in aesthetics is the hair. Almost always these girls have colored hair in fantasy tones, which may be all or part of it. In addition, they also wear a lot of bangs or hair split in half.
• Plaid and stripes: for having a lot of influence of punk and grunge styles, clothes with these prints are part of the wardrobe of every e-girl. Skirts, pants and plaid dresses appear a lot in aesthetics, as well as striped blouses, like the ones Kurt Cobain wore.
• Chains: this style can be customized at home and, for this, the use of chains is very present. Chains are used in skirts, pants, shoes and as jewelry or other accessories.
• Dark or basic style: e-girls wear dark clothes and make-ups loaded most of the time, but the style can also be more basic. Generally, they alternate between band t-shirts, in loaded looks, and jeans with a simple T-shirt and a lighter make.

This style has some striking features, but, like any aesthetic, it is also customized according to the look of each girl. So, if you want to adhere to the style, you can follow some tips, but also adapt as you like.
