Tops

Tops are essential in creating the perfect downtown outfit. You can choose between vintage and modern styles. Personally, I believe that red is a bold color that adds flair to downtown girl outfits. However, other colors like brown, grey, black, blue, and green also work well. The goal is to create a cohesive look that feels relaxed yet put together.


Seasonal Styles


In summer, opt for baby doll tops. In winter, long-sleeved Henley shirts are a great choice. You can plan your wardrobe around the seasons. Remember, there are no strict rules—only personal preferences and iconic styles!


| Tops | Tops | Tops | Tops |

|----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|

| Ribbed baby tees (white, grey, or graphic) | Fitted tank tops (black, white, slate) | Cropped long sleeve tops | Slouchy off-shoulder knits |

| Sheer mesh long sleeves (layered) | Graphic vintage band tees (oversized) | Button-up shirts (oversized) | Layered camis over tees or long sleeves |

| Leather bustiers or corset tops | Halter neck tops (earthy/dark tones) | Lace-trim camisoles | Off-shoulder or asymmetrical tops |

| Denim tube tops or reconstructed styles | Henley tops (fitted) | Babygirl doll tops | All things laced |

Shoes



Converse has been a staple in downtown style since day one. However, many other shoes hold potential.

One underrated option is the iconic black heeled Uggs. They pair beautifully with skirts and stockings, adding a touch of elegance without being over the top. These shoes are perfect for late-night walks or casual outings at cafes.


Other options like boots and stylish shoes in key colors can also complement your outfit. Whether you prefer vintage shoes or modern-day Converse, the choice is yours!


Accessories

| Accessories | Accessories | Accessories | Accessories |

|---------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|

| Big wired headphones | Arm warmers/shrugs | Claw clips x messy hair | Mini bags or slouchy shoulder bags |

| Leg warmers/slouchy socks | Non-basic tote bags | Ribbons or bows | Belts |

| Slightly chunky jewelry | Vintage jewelry | The necklace with emotional value | Homemade bracelets with themed charms |


Accessories can elevate any outfit. They play a crucial role in tying everything together. Coco Chanel once said, "Before leaving the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off." This advice is particularly useful for downtown style, which aims for a put-together look without appearing overly styled.


Hair

| Hair Styles | Hair Styles | Hair Styles | Hair Styles |

|---------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|

| Wolf cut | Butterfly cut | Soft layers | Wispy curtain bangs |

| Wavy mid-length cut | Long messy layers | Face framing pieces | Avoid excessive flat ironing |

| Claw clip hairstyles | Braids | Half up half down | Natural texture is your best friend |


The aim is to have a hairstyle that you love and that boosts your confidence. If you enjoy styling, feel free to experiment with bolder cuts. Remember, not all hairstyles require heat styling. Embrace your natural texture!


Jackets

| Oversized Leather Jackets | Bomber Jackets | Denim Jackets (oversized or cropped) | Faux Fur or Shearling Coats |

| Puffer Jackets | Trench coats (the badass kind) | | |


Vintage thrift jackets always carry a timeless vibe. Check your local thrift store or ask relatives for any old jackets they might want to part with.


The Underrated Sweater of the Centuries


A cable knit sweater with a diamond pattern in red is a personal staple. I pair it with flared jeans or a skirt with high-rise stockings and my heeled UGGs. It offers a cozy yet classy vibe. Bonus points if it features a demand pattern!
