How to Dress Edgy

These are not 100% universal rules, but you can’t go wrong with these tips when trying to dress edgy.

  • Black clothing – this will be the main color of your clothing, nothing screams edge like black clothes.
  • Distressed clothing – don’t go overboard but if you have a pair of jeans or a jacket with some rips, it helps pull together the look.
  • Graphic Tees – band t-shirts or vintage tees really help with the edgy look.
  • Footwear – a pair of vans, converse or some trendy chunky sneakers and boots.
  • Tattoos – if you have tattoos, you’re basically half way there.
  • Accessories – adding some accessories is a small but crucial part of dressing edgy.
    • Rings: minimalistic silver rings is our recommendation
    • Necklaces: a cuban link chain or a simple chain goes a long way
    • Watches: get yourself a vintage casio. They’re cheap and look great.
