Shop the E-Girl Closet Staples That Will Make You Feel Like a TikTok Star

Mesh turtlenecks, black circle skirts, silver chains, and inky lipstick – yep, we're here to talk about e-girls. The gothic-aligned trend is all over Instagram and TikTok, reaching viral status that could rival the internet's VSCO girl obsession. E-girls are suited up in brands like Adika, Bershka, Brandy Melville, and Urban Outfitters with a makeup routine that mostly consists of anime-inspired winged eyeliner, heavy blush, and heart stickers. It's the edgy/sweet vibe we all wish we could pull off.

This fashion subset is hugely inspired by lolita and kawaii style, so there are lots of staples in the e-girl starter pack that have been trending in Japan for years – everything from checker print to school girl skirts and chunky platform sneakers. Half of this stuff is probably already sitting in your closet, all you need is the right accessories (read: knee-high socks). Thankfully, you can cop them all right up ahead. Behold: the ultimate e-girl starter pack.
