What is a VSCO girl?

VSCO girls have an aesthetic that evokes an energetic, ecofriendly, and effortless vibe. The accessories that all VSCO girls have include; reusable metal straws, puka shell necklaces, Crocs/Birkenstocks, and decorated hydro flasks. The style is determinedly more laid back than the Tumblr girl style (which focused on a more sophisticated look) and the Instagram baddie trend (which requires some makeup skill). At its core, it is about maintaining a casual appearance, so anyone can be a VSCO girl if they want to be.
