What is the Vanilla Girl aesthetic like?
Vanilla Girl is a mix of Clean Girl, Old Money and Scandi with a touch of preppy.
These aesthetics have been extremely popular on social media over the past few years.
Vanilla Girl outfits are all about comfort and simplicity. They feature neutral colors, soft fabrics and silhouettes that don’t go over the top. Vanilla Girl outfits tend to be monochrome, as long as the colors are light and neutral, such as white, cream or heather grey.
The basics are your best friend. From long-sleeved crew neck tops to Yoga pants (yes, they are an essential piece for a Vanilla Girl wardrobe), the basics are always a good choice.
This aesthetic shows that a basic doesn’t have to be boring. You’ll be surprised at how adorable and versatile a basic can be, when styled with the Vanilla Girl aesthetic.
Vanilla Girl has an easygoing vibe, so she tends to wear her hair with simple hairstyles, which don’t take much effort. She uses claw clips and stretchy hairbands.
To be a real Vanilla Girl, your must also smell like… vanilla. Do not forget to apply a vanilla-scented body spray or perfume, as well as a vanilla lip balm.

Even a Vanilla Girl needs to have a button-down classic shirt in her closet.
Wear it alone or layer with other items to make this timeless piece ultra versatile. Wear it over a tank top, or under a sweater that has the collar sticking out.
You can wear stripes as well as solid white button-downs.
Basic Tops

The basics are important for a good reason. They may not be *the most exciting* fashion option, but they will always be the most versatile and practical.
Vanilla Girl embraces the basics. So, rather than buying a bunch of trendy items you won’t wear more than a few times, buy simple tops you can wear again and again.
They can be camisoles with light solid colors, tank tops in plain white, or crewneck tops.
Choose a top with a subtle print. For example, a delicate, light-colored floral pattern, classic stripes or anything with an Old Money, preppy feel.
Vanilla Girl Bottoms
Fold-Over Waist Flared Pants
