2010s Tumblr Aesthetic

2024/1/26 Edited to

... Read moreWhen they say the 2010s Tumblr aesthetic is making a comeback, I feel like my heart just skipped a beat! Seriously, I lived for that era, and it's thrilling to see these vibes resurfacing. For anyone who missed it, or just wants to relive it, the 2010s Tumblr aesthetic was more than just clothes – it was a whole mood, a blend of grunge, indie, vintage, and a touch of DIY artistry that really defined a generation of 'tumblr girls'. If you're wondering how to embrace the 2010s tumblr fashion today, it's all about mixing and matching key pieces to create that effortlessly cool, slightly melancholic yet undeniably stylish look. Think oversized band tees, often paired with high-waisted denim shorts or skater skirts. Ripped tights were a staple under nearly everything, from dresses to shorts, adding that perfect touch of 'I don't care' attitude. Footwear was typically chunky, with Doc Martens or Converse being the go-to choices. And who could forget the flannel shirts tied around the waist or worn open over a graphic tee? It was all about layering and creating visual interest. For accessories, the 'tumblr girl' look leaned heavily into chokers, beanies, and plenty of statement jewelry. I remember spending hours curating my accessories to get just the right vibe. And let's not forget the iconic 'stunner shades' – those round, often oversized sunglasses that added a mysterious, artistic flair to any outfit. Lolita-style glasses were also super popular, giving a nod to vintage aesthetics. Makeup was often minimal but edgy: a sharp winged eyeliner, perhaps a dark berry lip, and perfectly messy hair, often styled in a messy bun or with colorful streaks. To truly nail the 2010s tumblr aesthetic like it’s 2012 all over again, try thrifting for unique vintage pieces. This era was all about individuality and finding treasures. Don't be afraid to experiment with textures like lace, velvet, and distressed denim. The beauty of 2010s tumblr outfits was their ability to blend seemingly disparate elements into a cohesive, personal style. It wasn't about being perfect; it was about expressing yourself. So, go ahead, embrace the indie sleaze, put on your favorite band tee, and let your inner 'tumblr girl' shine!

It’s so much fun putting together outfits inspired by a specific moment in time. I absolutely love 2010’s fashion- particularly the tumblr grunge look! ☠️ An easy way to achieve this aesthetic is pairing an oversized top with tiny shorts. For this fit, I paired a loose H&M graphic tank with

I’m definitely aging myself here but these shows give me such bad nostalgia! ABC Family in the 2010s was IT. From the comedies to darker mysteries this line up had it all. Wish I could go back and watch it live all over again! Comment what shows give you the most nostalgia! #favori
