Within the last few years fashions trends have been heavily influenced by the internet especially since TikTok has gained popularity. TikTik has made several fashion styles go “viral” within the last couple years. Here just three of the many are explained.

VSCO girls arose from the app VSCO, a social media/photo editing app, that quickly grew popular due to its visually pleasing photos and lack of numbers. This style was super popular in 2019, especially in the summertime. It usually consisted of a beachy look with an old oversized t-shirt and jean shorts. Hydro flasks, scrunchies, and small beads braided int hair were things often used to accessorize. The most important thing about this style was definitely the “fresh out of the ocean” look. After a bit of popularity this look became a joke and the “VSCO girl meme” spread across the internet. Which almost completely brought the trend to an end.

Cottagecore really started to pick up popularity in 2019, however it has been around since about 2017. Cottagecore style definitely got popular on TikTok, it celebrates nature and a very fairy-like look. Embracing nature and reused clothes is a big part of this look. Cottagecore began to fill people’s TikTok and Instagram feed in 2020, the posts really glamorized this lifestyle. Cottagecore is more than just fashion, this aesthetic is also a lifestyle. Including gardening, wearing recycled clothing and frolicking in a field. E-girl fashion is heavily influenced by the asian culture, more specifically K-pop and anime. It is a subculture aesthetic of early 2000’s scene fashion, but it is a bit more animated. The “e” stands for electronic, this trend grew popular mainly because of Tik Tok. While the style has been around since the early 2000’s, it recently grew popular in 2020. Today’s version of it has less to do with the personality of an e-girl and more to do with the style. This style usually consists of big eyeliner, heavy blush and layering of darker clothing.
