Next up, we have the outfits. If you know anything at all about the 2014 Tumblr era, you know exactly what the style was at the time. The “indie sleaze” aesthetic was all about the messy makeup, dark lipstick (usually a shade of red or purple), jean jackets over top of flannels, ripped black tights under skater skirts, and (of course) a pair of doc martens boots. Add a choker and the perfect Tumblr girl outfit is complete. Recently, the hashtag “#indiesleazeaesthetic” has been trending on TikTok. People are once again loving the messy “grunge” style. Many creators on TikTok are posting indie sleaze makeup tutorials as well as fashion tips for the style. There are even professional trend predictors who are predicting that this era is on its way back into style. Personally, I’m excited for indie sleaze fashion to become popular again. I’ve loved the messy grunge look ever since I had my own 2014 Tumblr girl era.
They do say that trends resurface every 10 years… and we’re just about to hit the 10 year mark. So smear on some eyeliner, throw your hair into some space buns, and grab your chokers because the 2014 Tumblr girl era is coming back faster than ever.
