In the past 10 years, skaters have become increasingly popular. Most of this is due to the popularity of Instagram, where famous skater girls post photos of themselves in their favorite outfits. This has led to the creation of a new aesthetic that combines skateboarding with fashion and streetwear.
The look is simple: striped tees, backwards hats, baggy jeans or shorts (worn high on the waist), and sneakers or Vans are key items in creating your own skater girl aesthetic!
Long hair
The long hair is in.
The look is typically a wavy or straight, light brown to blonde color and styled in a messy bun or half-up half-down.
Clip on bangs
In our opinion, the skater girl aesthetic is one of the coolest looks to have emerged in recent years. It’s a look that has been popularised by many famous skater girls on Instagram and we think it’s pretty great!
There are lots of ways you can style your hair like this, but our favorite is with clip-in bangs. These are also called ‘falsies’ or ‘extensions’ and they look just as natural as real hair extensions would. They come in all different lengths and colours so you can get exactly what suits your face shape best.
Natural eye makeup
When it comes to skater girl makeup, smokey eyes are a must. You don’t have to be an expert at applying eye shadow or liner but lessons will help you get the look you want. A lot of people have no idea how to apply it correctly so they end up making themselves look like a clown or trashy person. Eyeshadow should be applied with a brush and used sparingly on the lid (this is where most people go wrong). If you’re going for that smoky look, keep your eyeliner thin and tight around your lash line then blend upwards towards the crease until it fades out completely (again most people do this wrong by creating sharp lines). You can also use a black pencil or gel liner underneath your lower lashes if you want more definition there as well as mascara over both upper and lower lashes for some extra length!
Glossy lips
Glossier’s Generation G lip gloss was a hit with the skater girl aesthetic crowd. It was easy to apply and seemed to give your lips a pop of color without making them look like you were wearing lipstick. Lip glosses are also an alternative to lipstick, which is usually matte (no shine). If you want something that’s a little shinier than lip balm but not as shiny as glossy lipstick, this is the perfect product for you!
Piercings
- Ear piercings
- Nose piercings
- Lip piercings
- Eyebrow piercings
- Tongue piercings (apparently this is an option)
- Belly button piercing(s) (the most common type of piercing according to my research, but still not a must)
- Nipple piercing(s) (optional and probably only done by the most hardcore skater girls out there)
If you’re good with pain, go ahead and get some more. Most of these body parts are traditional spots for tattoos, so if you’re going to get ink anyway, why not take it one step further?
A fair skin tone complemented with a defined jawline and full lips
A fair skin tone complemented with a defined jawline and full lips. In the last few years, skater girls have been favouring an aesthetic that’s more feminine while still maintaining the tomboy vibes. This means they’ll wear bright colours like blue, pink and yellow on top of their basic T-shirts or plain black dresses. They also tend to have a square face shape with wide jawline but small eyes (sometimes even monolid lids).
The skater girl is known for her signature ’90s inspired look which includes baggy jeans paired with sneakers or skate shoes from Vans or Converse; unkempt hair in the form of short bangs framing her brows; minimal makeup consisting only of mascara and lip gloss; piercings on both ear lobes (or just one); tattoos at places like wrist area or neck line where it can be easily hidden under loose clothing for work purposes; usage of bandanas/beanies as headgear against cold weather conditions during winter months.
Big bright eyes and thin eyebrows
There are a few things they all have in common that make them look like skater girls. First, they have big bright eyes and thin eyebrows. Big eyes, which give the illusion of being wider than normal, are very common among those who don’t wear a lot of makeup or other products on their faces. This can be done with makeup or without it. Thin eyebrows may also be present but not necessary since big eyes can take over your face if you want them to! That’s why keeping your brows thin is essential for this look because it keeps everything from looking too heavy.
Next up is full lips—ideally as pink as possible! In some cases people might prefer having light colors such as pinks but others prefer darker colors like reds or purples instead; only use whichever color fits yours better personally though! Another thing that makes this style unique is soft natural-looking makeup (think subtle highlights here) along with long straight hair that goes past shoulders length without any layers cut into it yet still has volume kept around its edges because those will help emphasize how “full” each strand really looks while still being able to maintain the overall effect of cleanliness throughout her whole appearance from top most part down through bottom part below feet level where she stands barefoot most often wearing nothing except maybe socks sometimes depending on cold weather conditions outside at night time when sleeping inside house during winter months when snow falls heavily outside during colder climates out west where temperatures drop below freezing point nightly so staying indoors during late fall through early spring months helps prevent people from getting sick due illness caused by exposure.
Amber, brown or hazel eyeshadow to create smokey eyes
To create this look, you’ll need:
- brown, red and pink eyeshadow (in the same shade as your hair color)
- purple eyeshadow that’s more vibrant than the others.
- a lighter shade of brown or beige for highlighting the brow bone and inner corner of your eyes.
Start with a neutral base on your eyelids—this will help prevent uneven application later on—and then apply it all the way up to the brow bone. Next, use a darker shade of purple in an outer corner crease technique using your ring finger or a synthetic brush to keep it looking natural. Apply a slightly lighter shade of brown or beige in an inner corner crease method using either your ring finger or synthetic brush again to ensure that it looks natural.

FAQ
There are many questions about the skater girl aesthetic. How do you know if a person is a skater girl? Is there a way to tell them apart from other people? What’s the difference between a skater girl and someone who doesn’t identify as one?
By understanding what it means to be a skater girl, we can better understand what goes into this particular style of dress and identity.
Skateboarding has always been associated with counterculture movements in America (think punk rock) and has therefore become associated with resisting mainstream culture. Skateboarder girls often wear their hair short and dress in loose clothing that covers up their body but still allows them freedom of movement while they skateboard or perform stunts on their boards. Some typical outfits include t-shirts, jeans or shorts paired with Converse sneakers; long-sleeved shirts worn under long skirts; band tees underneath vests or jackets; etc., all together forming an overall look referred to by some as “skater punk.”
