Baddie Aesthetic Outfits (Classic & Edgy - The Atomic Blonde)

Baddie fashion, also referred to as ‘baddie aesthetics’, is a term used to describe a look that is dark, sexy and quite rebellious.

Indie fashion lovers are starting to get into the aesthetic baddie fashion because it allows them to express themselves in a way that is sexy, which is a nice refresher after all the ditsy cottagecore. Either way, experimenting with different moods is something that all indie fashionistas love to do.

As always with indie aesthetics, you can take it as far as you want to. You can go out pretty much in your underwear, or you can just take bits and pieces out of the mood and make it your own.

If you’re looking to add an edge to your style, but you still want to live the hot girl life, then the edgier version of this mood might just be the aesthetic for you.

Edgy aesthetic baddie fashion is about adding an edge to your style but keeping it sexy at the same time. It’s edgy, but not the same kind of edgy as the baggy aesthetic.

It’s perfect for indie fashionistas who want to make a statement without showing a lot of skin. You will still stand out from the crowd and be sexy, don’t worry.

Create contrast with your styling. Aesthetic baddie fashion has such a strong appeal because it plays with sharp contrasts: Distressed denim with a delicate satin top, romantic frilly dress with heavy boots, that sort of thing.
