Being artsy in fashion means wearing clothes that reflect your opinions and choices, clothes that are highly visual and artistic. Still, you don't want to look like a mess.

It's hard to get this look right as it requires the perfect combination of colors, textures, patterns, shapes, and sizes.

Gothic fashion emphasizes strong, modern, and mysterious aesthetics. It's part of the gothic culture with gothic fiction and goth music.

Some people can easily pull off the goth style, but this look is simply not meant for most people.

6. Exotic fashion

Prints are some of the hardest pieces to style. Many fashionistas don't wear prints at all. It's very difficult to pull these styles off without looking like a total mess.

A specific look to your face and body is often needed to make the prints work for you.

7. Grunge style

Grunge combines features of punk rock and heavy metal. It's an alternative rock genre and inspired by rock music.

This fashion style showcases casual jackets, boots, jeans, crop tops, beanies, and sweaters.

However, this style strays far away from mainstream clothes. Instead, it highlights innovative cuts, shapes, and silhouettes that heavily differentiate it from conventional streetwear.

8. Nerdy look

This clothing style is widespread all over the world with a passionate pop-culture community that associates with it.

9. Traditional style

The traditional fashion style is part of all regions' history in every continent. Only those that are familiar with it and share a deep passion for the culture generally wear it right.

10. Vintage fashion

You can find vintage clothes in resale shops, thrift stores, and consignment stores. When an item is at least 20 years old, it is genuinely vintage or antique.

Vintage fashion offers a wide choice of stylish and affordable outfits from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, or more, and even antique looks.

The most popular vintage fashion styles come from the period between the 1920s and sometime before the end of the 1970s.

But many people wonder what is considered vintage. Vintage looks can come from either haute couture or quality mainstream fashion labels.

And without proper authentication steps, it's hard to ensure that items are truly vintage and not retro reproductions.
