OUR TIPS:
The downtown girl aesthetic is all about mixing comfort and edgy, grunge style. First, pick your color palette: downtown girls typically wear darker colors, so we would suggest starting with grey, black, brown, and blue. Shop for graphic baby tees, crewnecks, stripe sweaters, bootcut jeans, zip-up sweatshirts, converse high tops, and vintage leather jackets. The downtown girl aesthetic isn’t just about clothing, it’s about the lifestyle. Grab your headphones, your favorite book, a tote bag, and a cup of coffee as you head out the door and you are all set. Looking for inspo? We love Rory Gimore’s outfits in Gilmore Girls.
