It’s official: TikTok has infiltrated the world of fashion. Even if you don’t realize it, you’ve probably been buying (or at least seeing) clothing that has been made popular by successful TikTokers like Addison Rae and Charli D’Amelio. While some styles are reminiscent of past decades (read: loose jeans and fun sunglasses), there are a few trends that might be new to you.
One common theme among these TikTok fashion trends is that they all give off cool, fun and effortless vibes. They make you look like the coolest, most mysterious person in the room without having to put forth a lot of effort. Some trends even make for a fun and inexpensive DIY project! If you’re new to TikTok-inspired fashion or are looking for a little inspiration, you’re in the right place. Here are seven ways to rock TikTok fashion trends.
1. Personalized Jewelry
TikTok stars are made famous by being their own brand. Big names on the app have put their name on, well, just about everything. Of course, this includes fun accessories like hats, rings, necklaces and more. Personalized necklaces are making a comeback with an edgy twist, straying from formerly popular cute and colorful name necklaces and moving on to gold and silver chokers with a small and sparkly initial. For some, the trend includes a full name carved out of shiny metal in scripted or jagged letters.
Styling Tip: Layer your personalized necklace with dainty chains or a choker to add some depth to your fun jewelry look.
2. Tie-Dye Looks
One fun way to get on the TikTok fashion bandwagon is to create a cute and colorful tie-dye outfit! You can go as subtle or bold with this one as you like because there isn’t much that popular TikTokers haven’t tried to tie-dye. Whether you dye your own items or buy them, there are a million ways to try out this trend.
Styling Tip: While tie-dye sweats and t-shirts are super popular right now, if you’re looking for a different look, go for a pop of tie-dye instead. Tie-dye socks, baseball caps, bandanas, shorts or even bags are easy and fun to make at home!

3. Cute Sweats
Perhaps the best part about TikTok fashion is that it favors stretchy and comfortable clothing. Popular creators are taking sweats to the next level by filming themselves wearing colorful sweatpants, trendy hoodies and other fun versions of loungewear. The resulting trend features a more structured look that’s perfect for running errands.
Styling Tip: Create a balanced sweatsuit look by pairing your loose sweatpants with a crop top or fitted tank. Elevate your outfit by wearing a pair of cute sneakers, your favorite sunglasses and lots of jewelry to bring it all together.
4. Tennis Skirts
It’s no surprise that girly activewear is popular among the likes of TikTok celebs. It’s a fun alternative to bike shorts and adds something fun and flirty to your outfit. Popular tennis skirts now tend to feature pleats for a pretty and preppy look or a flouncy cut for added sass. These skirts are comfy, cute and acceptable to wear both on and off the court.
Styling Tip: For a full-on TikTok look, create an outfit that includes a dark-colored tennis skirt, fresh white sneakers, high-cut socks, a cropped tank and dainty jewelry. Add in your own personal style and play with colors and textures!
5. Monochromatic Neutrals
TikTok might change your mind about neutrals. They can be fun and an outfit made up of similar neutral shades is anything but boring. A monochromatic look features different pieces that are either the same color or in the same color family. While this look is popular with casual loungewear and sweats, you can also dress it up with nicer outfits featuring heels, a blazer, pants and more.
Styling Tip: A monochromatic look allows you to go big when it comes to accessories. Now’s your chance to wear a great pair of statement earrings, stacked bracelets or a fun chunky necklace.

6. Vintage-Inspired Denim
Women’s denim trends on TikTok right now feature styles from the eighties and nineties. Looser styles and a variety of washes have become popular once again due to new generations favoring high waists, thick denim and boyfriend-inspired styles. While you can easily thrift a pair of vintage-inspired jeans, many brands are bringing back this style with new twists as well.
Styling Tip: Go for a full-on vintage look by pairing your retro jeans with small sunglasses, a bucket hat and chunky sandals!
7. Chic Sneakers
If you only take one suggestion from this list, let it be this one. Get yourself a pair of stylish sneakers for non-exercise activities. These are a cute and comfortable alternative to flats or flip flops and can be worn many different ways. Go for a sleek pair of all-white sneakers or bring in a pop of bright color for a truly TikTok-inspired look.
Styling Tip: Wear these with everything! Having a good pair of nice sneakers can finish off any outfit. Dress up a pair of shorts or dress down a midi skirt with your chic sneakers.
