What is the Meaning of Edgy Aesthetic?

Edgy Aesthetic means being on edge, confident, not being afraid of showing authority, and

wearing clothes that grasp the attention quickly. Those clothes are mainly black, reflecting

the “otherness” or the dark side of an edgy person. As black absorbs light, the dark becomes visible.

If you’re attracted to edgy aesthetics, you might be interested in joining a gang. You should have

seen motorcycle clubs. They have strict rules of appearance and a leadership ideal.

Edgy people are social outcasts, like the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs). Edgy people are obsessed with expressing their style distinctly, just like bikers.

What Are The Basics For Edgy Style? What Makes A Style Edgy?

Makeup: Black eyeshadow, bold eyeliner, dark shades of lipsticks.

Accessories: Metal chains, biker skull rings, leather belts, black sunglasses.

Key Clothes : Leather jackets, leather platform boots, band t-shirts, crop tops.

Values: Dice with death!

Colors: Black, violet.

What Does It Mean If Someone Calls You Edgy?

Sometimes, edgy is used as an insult. However, it is a compliment to outcasts of society.

If someone calls you edgy, you definitely have strict rules, a confident appearance, and a standout

style. Sometimes edgy is referred to as being anxious, or being on edge. But, this is not the case

anymore. So, do not get offended, and embrace your provocative aesthetic. Because if you are

edgy, you are fabulous!

How Can A Girl Look Edgy?

If you are wondering how can a girl look edgy , there are many factors we need to discuss. We will begin with Statement.

A certain style is not just about wearing clothes that belong to that aesthetic. You also have a particular ideology that your clothes reflect. So it’s always a plus to have a style where you don’t look like someone you’re not.

Anyone interested in edgy fashion should also support their mindset and severe look, and be able to maintain it under all circumstances. When you enter a new environment, you must be able to attract attention; sometimes, you may even seem intimidating with a resting b**** face.

The Mystery of Black

Another key factor is the mysterious color black. Black is always an excellent option to attract attention and be mysterious simultaneously. Because mysterious characters attract attention, as do those with edgy aesthetics, therefore, it is essential that black is in the center and foreground in your style.

They say combining black is easy, but the opposite is the case. Of course, it is not true that everything black suits the edgy aesthetic. That’s why finding the right pieces that fit you and fit your edgy style is so critical.

Besides, you can add dark color accessories and pieces in different tones to your outfit. As I said before, wearing all black does not mean being edgy. It would help if you also used different tones to highlight black and your serious style. Dark red, burgundy, and gray and their tones are among the colors you can choose in your closet.

The Importance of Fit

Styling an outfit does not consist of wearing random pieces with a specific color. Fit is also important to consider while dressing up. Choosing only skinny or oversize clothing can completely change the image. But how about mixing them?

Wearing tight-fitting edgy-style clothes is not a big deal. It would be best if you preferred contrasts instead: wearing baggy pants under a crop top or wearing an oversize jacket over skinny jeans. It’s all up to you.

In Leather We Trust!

Leather offers both an expensive look and adds seriousness to the person. Any leather clothes you add to your outfit will get you closer to being edgy.

Even a piece like this Edgy Style Sexy Mini Skirt will be enough to take advantage of the nobility of leather.

If you want to move forward with simpler pieces, a leather choker and this Edgy Style Leather Backpack can also be matched.

Accessories

You know what they say, accessories are like vitamins to fashion. Accessories embellish and complete our edgy look. An edgy accessory also, can completely change a classy outfit! So, what are those edgy accessories? You can simply wear silver chains and wrap them around your neck or belly. But if you want a total commitment to your edgy aesthetic, there are different choices.

Eyewear

First things first. Even a pair of regular black sunglasses can change your look entirely. It also draws attention as it adds a mysterious atmosphere. But if you intend to be more marginal, large framed sunglasses will perfectly suit your edgy aesthetic.

Hats

If you like to wear a hat, you should definitely go with a black fedora hat. Sheriff vibes; definitely a masculine and mysterious energy… Like, cuff me off already!

There are other options, such as caps, and beanies, as well. Hat + sunglasses combinations, that’s what an edgy girl should give a chance to.

Jewelry

Wear as many rings as you can, girl! They can be either silver or gold. However, I choose silver ones. All fingers must be full of rings.

Even though it’s referred to as a “men’s ring,” I reject the norms and generally wear biker skull rings. They may be a little bit heavy to wear, though. :)

Besides rings, a multilayered silver necklace, along with a pair of silver earrings, will complete the edgy look.

Belts

Using a belt is not only essential to prevent the pants from falling off, but it also adds a layer to your outfit for a richer look.

Wearing a belt makes a body look more shaped and curvy. Besides, it separates the top areas from the bottom areas and can make the legs appear longer.

Besides all this, a specific belt will enhance the edgy look and make it stand out more. What is this “specific” belt, then? Of course, the leather and the chained edgy belts! Keeping up with edgy aesthetic style comes with responsibilities such as carrying those heavy leathers and chains.

Don’t Be In Someone’s Shoes.

No doubt, it is the shoes that carry the whole outfit! Imagine wearing a pair of sandals under a suit. That would be a disastrous crime to walk around wearing those. Ugh. So, do not neglect the choice of shoes, especially as someone who seriously cares about appearance.

Then what should be the most suitable shoes for edgy aesthetics?

A pair of boots. Definitely!

Bikers don’t just wear boots to protect their feet.

Since Dr. Martens was founded, boot-wear has become commonplace by officers, official business people, and even anti-system gangs.

Boots have represented something throughout history. Wearing boots is inevitable for someone who reflects their ideology with their edgy aesthetic.

You can either get leather boots, chain-detailed platform boots, or combat boots according to your choice.

As another ideologically representative shoe, a pair of black canvas sneakers can also easily suit your edgy style.

I have tried to explain the edgy aesthetic style simply so far. I’m sure you already have tons of ideas in mind. However, I have still designed five different and complete edgy outfits for you so that you can easily access affordable edgy aesthetic clothing and get inspiration! ❤

Edgy Outfit Inspiration 1

Here is a complete design of our first edgy style outfit inspiration. This Edgy Double Zipper Crop Top is a perfect example of edgy tops. It has chain and zipper details, adding extra layers to your edgy outlook.

As I said before, using contrasts in fit is a game changer. So, I preferred not a skinny jeans but more classical fit leather black pants, plus making the look chic!

To complete the edgy aesthetic, you should keep these leather black platform boots and leather black bag to suit the pants.

Since the use of accessories is a rule of the edgy aesthetic, I have added various accessories to this outfit. But, you can add more and more as it’s not a crime.

Edgy Outfit Inspiration 2

For this second outfit inspo, I chose more colorful pieces. I wanted it to give the idea of using different colors than black in Edgy style. I am sure you will be interested in this beautiful blue-white harmony of edgy wave design long-sleeve gloves and blue crop top. When you choose such a tight top, it will be better to wear baggy or regular-cut pants. Exactly as I mentioned above, contrast fitting attracts more attention in fashion.

I chose Cosmique’s sexy egirl vintage black pants as a great example and complementary piece. These flare pants will provide you with a stylish stance and comfort. After all, the clothes we wear should be not only chic but also comfortable.

And, of course, as strong women who can stand on their own feet, I leave an excellent shoe recommendation here. Leather black high-platform boots will suit the flare cut of these pants very well.

Edgy Outfit Inspiration 3

Let’s come to our third edgy outfit inspo. Again, I came to give an idea with an outfit where black is in the center, but other tones support dark pale gray. Top first! I saw this Edgy Aesthetic Crop Top and fell in love with it all of a sudden!

I combined these edgy aesthetic bandage pants to match this crop top with tie details. In this edgy aesthetic outfit example, I also compiled a fit contrast where the bottom is looser and the top is tighter. Because why not?

I preferred flat-soled grunge aesthetic ankle boots under these pants because they offer a more sporty and casual look. Of course, you can choose to wear heels as well. I leave the choice entirely to your imagination and your sense of edgy aesthetic.

I chose leather for the shoulder bag to match the pattern of the boots. You may prefer any leather edgy bag. Make sure the type of fabric is compatible with other pieces, though.

Edgy Outfit Inspiration 4

Here is the outfit that fits my everyday style too! An outfit that is too flashy and will attract attention. If you think you’re not quite ready to be in the spotlight, I guess I’ll have to give you a little more self-confidence.

The standout part of this outfit, the centerpiece, is definitely this mesh sleeves edgy crop top. Look at the chain details! Screaming, “I’m here and ready to get your attention.”

Okay, please don’t come at me. This Edgy outfit would not be complete if I didn’t add a leather detail to it, which is indispensable for edgy. I guess I also seem to like baggy pants as I chose baggy PU leather pants again. So what? It will look better on you; I know that!

Did we put an edgy leather belt on these pants? Everything is Edgy enough. A silver chain to match this crop top would look great on your waist.

Shall I tell you my favorite part of this outfit? Sleeveless leather jacket, of course! But it’s a secret, shh. A sleeveless leather jacket is the most suitable piece to add to a long-sleeved blouse.

Edgy Outfit Inspiration 5

Where are my skirt-lover homies at? I chose a more feminine edgy look for this fifth and final outfit. If you want to look both Edgy and feminine, this outfit is definitely for you!

Along with the edgy long sleeve crop sweatshirt I put at the top, this sexy leather mini skirt has the potential to both make you look feminine and to keep up with any event or occasion. You can be as sweet as the cat in the design. :)

Just so you don’t come at me, I wanted to add something other than leather, so I chose the suede fedora hat. In addition, I combined a large framed black pair of sunglasses I mentioned in the accessories section.

You can always add more, whatever your current mood demands. Many rings, earrings, piercings, and nail art can be used; they can look very nice too! If you have tattoos, you can choose accessories that make them stand out. Choosing dark edgy make-up to look tougher will make the edgy look solid.

I leave a make-up tutorial below that you can apply to yourself. I had a lot of fun watching it; I hope it will teach you while entertaining you.

These were the main topics I could tell about “ How Can A Girl Look Edgy .” Starting from somewhere, you can have the edgy girl look that you attribute more to yourself over time.
