Clothes have always been a way for us to showcase our personalities. With the rise of so many fashion aesthetics in the past year, it's been easier than ever to really *show* who you are through your 'fits. In fact, if you go down the rabbit hole (aka Pinterest and TikTok), you'll find tons of outfit ideas that you can recreate, depending on your style.
If you're worried that you don't know what aesthetic you even want or fit in, we're here to help. We gathered outfit ideas for each fashion aesthetic so you can decide on which one you like the best. Keep scrolling for inspo (and make sure to screenshot your favorites—you know the drill!)

8. Art Hoe
For this one, the primary colors are your best friend. This style also gets elements from the '80s and '90s, as seen on the windbreakers and combat boots that people with this aesthetic often wear. Bonus points if you own a Fjallraven Kånken backpack, lol!
9. Grunge
Grunge is a darker and edgier style than most of the aesthetics in this list. You'll need a lot of neutral tones for your outfits, like brown, olive green, and black.
