TikTok's Coastal Cowgirl Aesthetic Is Your New Spring Vibe

March 16th, 2023 at 4:49pm

It will come as no surprise that one of this spring’s most popular trends comes straight from TikTok. The Coastal Cowgirl aesthetic mixes classic western influences with last year’s Coastal Grandmother trend, creating the perfect look for your upcoming Spring Break or summer outfit prep. 

Coastal Cowgirl is the perfect opportunity to reimagine simple pieces from your existing wardrobe or incorporate new ones. Essentially, the look is basic, comfy, coastal clothes, paired with accessories and shoes that incorporate the western look. 

Looking up “Coastal Cowgirl” on TikTok will bring up explanations, lookbooks, and screenshots, but you don’t need to look any further…

Here is my extensive Coastal Cowgirl shopping list.

Tops

The key here is to keep your tops simple, flowy, and lightweight. Anything you can layer on top of or under something. If it will look good with denim, then you’re golden.
