If you’re not aware of the ‘bruh girl’ phenomenon you’ve probably not seen the countless tik-toks from which this term has essentially emerged. The bruh girl is the new old school version of Taylor swift’s You belong with me blonde girl version that gets the guy.

She’s the tomboy, the girl who doesn’t really care about her appearances or fashion, is chaotic but fun and doesn’t really have a skincare routine, eats Cheeto’s in her hoodie in bed and says ‘bruh’ on the regular to everyone she meets and is considered as ‘one of the bois’. Sound familiar?

She’s daring, sporty, outgoing and generally has a style that revolves around comfort more than anything. The more effortlessly put together and beautiful your outfit is the more it is considered as cool. And that’s what has happened with the bruh girl trend we’re seeing everywhere on the internet. It’s so cool to throw on your oversized tee-shirt with an even baggier pants or denims like you’ve just picked the first items of clothings you could find in your wardrobe and still manage to look fashionable. It’s the epitome of effortless street style that everyone wants to achieve.

Now, in terms of fashion the bruh girl can be defined by loose graphic tees, beanies, cargo pants, and the latest dunks or converse. You can definitely say that the skater girl style from the tumblr era is back with a modernist streetwear twist on it. Read along because I’m about to show you 5 ways to embody this style trend.

Oversized band and graphic tees

Oversized tees will be a staple in your wardrobe if you’ve decided to go bruh girl. Basically anything that can be thrown on quickly, is loose in fitting but also vibey and cool. Printed graphic and band tees hit the right sweet spot for this look.

Baggy and ripped denims

For bottomwear you’ll notice bruh girls being pulled towards pants that are comfortable to move around, which generally means baggy, loose, straight fit denims. Ripped denims are always in with this style as well. Make sure your pants sit well on your waist for a more put together look.

Cargo pants/Sweatpants

The cargos and the sweats, damn! These are the holy grails of a bruh girls wardrobe. Cargo pants are not just trending right now as a fashion piece but also have so much utility. As a bruh girl you’re not going to prefer carrying a tiny baguette purse or any purse around for that matter. So pockets are you best friends and if you find sweatpants with huge pockets? Even better!

Hoodies

It doesn’t matter what the weather’s like when it comes to wearing hoodies anymore. It’s a statement piece and not just a winter wear option. The idea behind wearing hoodies and in general loose clothing is to not be sexualised while you’re just out there doing your ‘bruh girl’ things. Printed hoodies and hoodies in solid colours will help you put together an effortlessly cool outfit in seconds.

Outerwear — varsity jackets and flannels

Flannels are those checkered print shirts which is another piece that has been embodied by the bruh girl. Loose fitting and preferably oversized flannels can be quickly worn over tanks or tees.

Varsity jacket is another fan favourite and statement piece to throw over any simple jeans and tank top outfit.

Latest Shoe trend

Yeah, I know I said 5 but this is a bonus one, just for you! You’ll generally see bruh girls sporting the latest dunks and sneaker trends. So yes, sneakers will definitely be a footwear basic for this style. White tennis shoes work but Jordan’s are super trending right now.
