Another day means another Tiktok trend to discuss. This week’s trend that’s taking over the video platform? It’s the “vanilla chick aesthetic,” alone. This trend, which has 130 million views to date, supports all things beige, cream, cozy, and minimalist.
If it isn’t already on your FYP, let me introduce you to the “Vanilla Girl” look. The Vanilla Girl develops the ideal winter style guide and is the grandmother from the coast’s closest friend in the colder months. If we were to apply the 3-Word Method to this aesthetic, we would choose the adjectives “soft,” “warm,” and “feminine.” The focus is on coziness and using neutral, vanilla-like colors for clothing, home furnishings, and, well, Instagram feeds.
After all your exploring, you’ll always come back,” much like a vanilla ice cream. If the vanilla girl style sounds like your kind of food, even though it isn’t entirely new, we have all the inspiration you need below.
What is Vanilla Girl?
- The design has a cozy, opulent minimalist vibe. There is a strong emphasis on uncomplicated clothing with cozy, tactile textures and light, neutral hues like white, beige, cream, and, well, vanilla. Over soft bed shorts are linen shirts, over pointelle vest tops are cashmere cardigans, and under cozy knits are lacy bralettes.
- The use of makeup is kept attractive, natural, and fresh. Like clean girl beauty, vanilla girl makeup emphasizes sheer color swipes across the eyes, lips, and cheeks and minimum makeup.
- In terms of hair, uncomplicated, relaxed styles are prominent. Strands can be gathered into claw clips, or let loose with flimsy curtain fringes, gentle waves, or curly ponytails.
