You may have heard the term “VSCO girl” over summer break or when you returned back to school. “VSCO girls” would be best described as Tumblr girls, but 2019. 

VSCO is an app that allows creators to edit and post their photos. “VSCO girl” has become a lifestyle rather than a trend. They are passionate turtle advocates, and make sure to carry around their reusable metal straws. 

They often wear scrunchies in their hair and carry around their Hydroflasks, a stainless steel waterbottle and sport checkered Vans. 

The idea of a VSCO girl is similar for everyone. There aren’t many variations of a VSCO girl.

“Someone who wears scrunchies, shell necklaces and baggy t-shirts,” sophomore Sierra Harrison said. “It’s basically just what they wear.”

As for makeup, they wear a natural, dewy look. Their hair is styled in effortless beachy waves paired with a shell necklace. They’re seen shopping at Brandy Melville or Urban Outfitters.

Most people came to learn about this VSCO trend through friends, social media or just seeing it first hand. 

“Everybody uses VSCO to edit their photos and now their on YouTube and everybody’s making videos on it,” sophomore Gwyneth Gray said. “It’s like the new trendy girl.”  

Although not everyone has heard of the VSCO and are unaware of the VSCO trend outbreak.

“I think of it as the new hipster,” art teacher Mrs. Rachel Belke said. “I identify as hipster so I just think it’s the next generation of people who are likely using metal straws.”

Some proudly self identify as a VSCO girl and embrace their style, which is a respectable trait. 

“Theres nothing wrong with being a VSCO girl,” sophomore Cora Jurgens said. “As long as you’re not doing it just to be popular, being yourself is all that really matters.”
