How Can I Be Aesthetic Everyday?
Being aesthetic every day is a big task. And not an easy one! But if you let your personal aesthetic out to play, and make it your goal to showcase it as much as possible, you’re going to find that it becomes more of a part of who you are than you originally thought.
This is why curating an aesthetic that is so similar to that of your personal style matters so much. Being aesthetic every day for the sake of it, and picking one that feels like a show every time you dress up, you’re going to wear yourself out.
For example, if you’re really more of the preppy and clean style naturally, but you choose to lean more hippie and bohemian for the summer, you’re going to be constantly having to fight the natural urge to do your hair in a clean and chic style, to instead make it artfully messy.
But regardless of if the aesthetic you’re looking to create on the daily is your personal style or not, here are some tips to dressing to your favorite aesthetic daily.
First things first. Be practical when you shop. And I don’t mean buying strictly practical pieces, I mean be practical about the style that you want to be wearing when you go shopping for it. If you want a change, don’t pick up the pieces that will go with your current wardrobe already. Invest in the pieces that you have to start building together to create that dream aesthetic you want to have on the daily.
Second, you need to remember that this is a head to toe thing. Coordinate your style from your hair to your shoes and every detail in between. The necklaces, the rings, and the socks all count! Symbiosis is what we call when everything in an art piece comes together in harmony. That’s what your goal is to achieve, every day. Keep the pieces together and make them make sense.
Third, it’s your outfit. It’s your curated aesthetic. You have the power to make it whatever you want it to be, and you have the power to execute it how you want. If you’re obsessing over a Pinterest version of an aesthetic (which I am very guilty of!) then you won’t be putting your personal style onto it and making it your own. Pull inspiration, but take control over the look itself. Do what you want with it!
Fourth, life is too short to play it safe with your outfits if you don’t want to. Being “aesthetic” every day is really an expression of who you are and what you like, so let your fun side shine! I always have to challenge myself with shopping and make sure I get something new and fun, not something that I always tend to gravitate to. If I want a more colorful color palette in my closet, I have to remember that I need to step outside of my usual pieces to grab the colorful jacket instead of the neutral one.
It’s an art, it’s a practice, it’s an external vision of who you are inside. So practice making all of the details of your daily outfit the most real version of you!
What’s The Most Popular Aesthetic?
The most popular aesthetic is elusive, because it changes all of the time and it really depends on your demographic.
But right now, if I had to make a general summary of the most popular aesthetic is “coastal cowgirl.” Preppy is still going strong, it will make its clean comeback in the fall for truly academia season, but right now we’ve got all eyes on the vintage tees, the flowy skirts, and the cowboy boots.
It’s ethereal and bohemian, with the western edge that we’ve seen quite a bit in the last year or so. But it also has the cool hipster energy that we used to adore in the 2012 to 2015 era.
This is a fun summer aesthetic to embrace, but remember there are so many other popular trends right now! Y2K is still going strong these days, and is very reminiscent of our younger years in the early 2000’s and how we used to dress in the summer. Halter tops, mesh, micro skirts, and bermuda shorts. There are so many different styles and pieces to choose from, but these are two of the biggest aesthetics to look out for when you’re planning your summer wardrobe.
Picking An Aesthetic
When picking an aesthetic, again, you should pick one that feels like an expression of you. But if you’re ready to change up who you are and the vibe you give off, you can totally pick something new. The world is your oyster!
Decide which aesthetic tells the world who you’re ready to be. And what your personality reads like these days. If you’re wanting to make more bold statements and demand the attention of the room, something fashion forward and flashy is a good direction.
If you’re feeling very soft and laid back, a little more relaxed and natural look is the best for you.
Feel your season, and express it.

An aesthetic you go with for your personal style should not just be personal, but it should reflect who you are and the season of life you’re in. We’ve gone through phases as a society and a culture where we just take on the popular vibe and wear what’s trendy, but then we totally lose the personal part of personal style. And then no one actually looks that cool when we all wear the same thing.
So choosing your summer aesthetic, even if it ends up being the big popular trend this year, should be a bit of a personal style choice as well.
Summer is such a fun season to play with fashion, it’s easier to throw pieces on together without thinking too much about functionality, and you can really make anything work that you want to. And not to mention any summer aesthetic is just so cute!
Have fun with these summer aesthetics and you’ll be rocking the look this season.
