Georgia State students use TikTok to explore fashion creativity

Imagine finding a new style and testing recent trends virtually, without going out to buy clothes or style hair. This idea isn’t currently a reality, but due to apps like TikTok, users can view a plethora of styles in motion.

Fashion has always been a timeless form of self-expression that incorporates multiple elements like clothing, shoes and accessories. All of these elements work in unison to create an outfit with a certain aesthetic.

These aesthetics can vary from grungier, oversized clothing to more sophisticated high fashion pieces such as blazers.

Y2K and 90’s fashion have recently gained popularity through influencers on apps like TikTok. Influencers like Rich Caroline and Nazjaa use this platform as a quick way to showcase daily outfits, hauls and styling tips to their followers.

This aesthetic’s popularity has seen an emergence in trends, such as lip lining, pieces like mini skirts, and vintage graphic tees.

Sophomore Precious Azuka sees social media’s significant impact on her style. She uses online platforms to figure out her style and navigate what suits her aesthetic and what doesn’t.

“Social media has really helped me find other people who have a similar style as me and who I can look to for inspiration when creating outfits,” Azuka said.

Similar to Azuka, sophomore Constance Briggs uses social media to curate her signature style.

Style and aesthetics are up to our creative freedom to explore. Social media platforms facilitate creativity by creating spaces where users can virtually explore and test out trends from the comfort of their own homes.
