We are going to explain the indie aesthetic first, then we will go from there to indie fashion.
So what is the indie aesthetic you ask ??...well the indie aesthetic is a term that is based on individuality, “indie” is short for
Individual, it can be used in many ways to describe unique music, clothes, photos, and arts, which is shown in the outfits of what is called “indie fashion” which is a bright colorful style of clothing.
Usually involving baggy jeans, oversized hoodies, and sometimes small shirts, and surrounds bright colors, which is similar to the 90s and the 2000s style of fashion and skater lifestyle.
this aesthetic has become more popular in 2020 and 2021 through the TIKTOK app
Visual
The indie aesthetic is similar to the pastel aesthetic, the only differences are in the colors of the two aesthetics and what they represent, the colors in the pastel aesthetic are paler and less intense than the ones
And most often easy on the eyes and bring to the mind a sense of innocence, nostalgia, and the cute culture, however the indie aesthetic brings more of a sad and darker mood, this is why you will, and often find in some indie bloggers or influencers showing photos of spaces
and Snow-covered landscapes that have sad text overlaid to further communicate the mood. Nevertheless, these days there is a particular way of editing photos and videos which made
this trend popular among Teenagers the most, there are a lot of indie filters to try, however, they all share a few things that make them
similar to each other, it’s heavy on saturation and vibrance with a lot of bright colors, usually, these photos and videos are edited on the camera app on the iPhone.
What is indie fashion :
Alright after discussing the indie aesthetic now we jump into” indie fashion “ ….So what is indie fashion, as I said in the first paragraph being indie is being your own self and independent from whatever other people
Are doing or following whether is a trend or a celebrity you just do your own thing, which means that, in indie fashion, we don't follow fashion trends or what everybody is wearing we just wear whatever suits us and be who we are basically.
, However, despite the different looks in indie fashion, there is a lot of similar-looking outfits that just looks awesome for example wearing oversized pieces like hoodies for women and baggy jeans, and of course accessories
As for men, there is a pattern that looks similar for most indie fashioned men which are wearing colorful button shirts or Hawaiian shirts with sunglasses that fit their face shape and quite often a hat that suits them
Again I’m not saying that you should follow what they're wearing to be indie you can wear whatever represents you and makes you different from the crowd that is the true indie fashion
Conclusion:
Being indie is being yourself that is why it’s called “indie” because it comes from individuality and it can be used to describe unique music, clothes, photos, and art it’s indie because it’s dependant on the person creating it whether it’s the art or music or the style of clothing that does not follow any specific trend but the person’s own taste.
