3 Trending Winter Aesthetics for 2022

Post author By nikki
Post date February 16, 2022

A new season calls for new fashion aesthetics! At Curtsy, we are always keeping up with trends to keep YOU up with the styles worn by fashion and TikTok girls (and maybe even become one yourself). For Winter 2022, it’s all about layering, staying warm and keeping it basic while also keeping those sequins and glitter pieces from New Year’s Eve in rotation!

From the preppy vibes of Academia Style, Romantic Ballet and Dollette Core to flashy and fun Euphoria inspo, here are the 3 trending winter aesthetics for 2022 to know (and wear).

📚Pre-academia

This style is layers on layers on layers! If we’re being honest, the base of the Academia aesthetic has never really been out of style – it just reinvents itself with the times. Think Blair Waldorf meets literature student reading a romance novel under a tree (lol).

If you love wearing neutral tones, oversize blazers over button ups and turtlenecks, pleated skirts and trousers, loafers, tights and neutral bows or chunky headbands – you may be into the Academia aesthetic. It is such an easy style to replicate with items we all probably have in our closets because they are capsule staples!

🌟Euphoria Inspired

We are pretty sure you already know EXACTLY where we are headed with the Euphoria aesthetic because it’s one of the most talked about shows in the last two years! Although the aesthetic needs no explanation, all we have to say is pretend it is New Years Eve everyday!

Expression is the number one word that comes to mind when the Euphoria aesthetic is mentioned. Not only does each character wear their hearts on their sleeves, but their entire personality can be seen the moment they step on screen. From glittery, bright eyeshadow to cutout dresses and low waisted pants – dress like the party never ends!

🎀 Romantic Core

When you think of lace, tulle, pink roses, fresh flowers, lots of blush on your cheeks and nose and the color pink, a Romantic aesthetic girl is probably not too far behind! Instead of the off-duty model, think off-duty dancer in wrap tops, elevated athleisure, ballet flats or UGG’s and anything that reminds you of a doily on the dining table!

The Romantic aesthetic is all about soft and cute pieces. Terms like Dollette, Coquette and Ballet Core describe someone who loves this aesthetic.

Y2K Trends Making a Comeback in 2022

Post author By nikki
Post date January 19, 2022

Every year it seems like another trend we collectively decided to get rid of a decade before becomes the IT clothing item to wear. At Curtsy, we are always trying to stay one step ahead so we are ready to dig out those Y2K comeback trends from the back of our closets and wardrobes! In 2022 there are already some expected trends to return from the 90s like, the puffer jacket, yoga pants and our personal fave – UGG! If you’re looking to achieve the full Y2K aesthetic, read on for our 3 style tips.

Puffer Everything

The puffer coat has gone in and out of style for years – literally DECADES! So it’s no surprise that it’s back on all the physical and virtual shelves. In the 2022 version of puffers, there are vests, bomber jackets, calf and ankle length in an assortment of colors. You can find all of our available Puffer options for Winter 2022 here on Curtsy! Our go-to brands for puffers are Aritzia, ZARA and Urban Outfitters.

Yoga Pants

If you can remember back to the middle (or high) school days, you were DEFINITELY wearing yoga pants. Probably with a low waist and some branded logo on the back. While we hung up our black yoga pants in the early 2000s, they are making quite the comeback in 2022. If you’d like to add some back into your wardrobe this year, you can shop them here on Curtsy! Some of our fave brands for yoga pants are Aerie, Lululemon and Alo Yoga.

UGG brand

A comeback that truly needs no introduction – UGG Brand is back and better than ever! When they first gained popularity, EVERYONE and their mom had a pair and the long length was the only way to go! Now in 2022, mini is in – the shorter the better! Some trending styles this year are the UGG Disquette, Funkette, Coquette, Bailey Bow, and the Classic Ultra Mini. If you got rid of your Uggs from the 90s, but want to bring them back, here’s what we have on Curtsy!

✨Ready to make a comeback?

Predicting future trends in fashion can always be fun, but it makes it way more interesting when we bring back trends from our past (Y2K, 90s, 80s, you name it). All of these comeback trends create the perfect winter outfit in an updated blast from the past. If you’d like some inspo styling these trends, you can check out this blog post here!

How to Have a Hot Girl Summer ❤️‍🔥

Post author By nikki
Post date August 11, 2021

By this point, we ALL have heard about having a Hot Girl Summer, ever since Megan the Stallion told us to live ours back in 2019. Having a Hot Girl Summer means so many things to different people, but at Curtsy we feel that living your best, Hot Girl Summer life, starts with loving yourself and living by the mantra that “every body is a bikini body!” So here’s some ways that you can live your best life in Summer 2021!

Loving Yourself Starts from Within 🕊

This Summer is all about finding out what makes YOU happy! That includes what you physically put into your body and how you treat yourself from the inside out. Give yourself a break and eat food that makes you feel good or refreshed and energized! Start journaling your feelings and thoughts to get them out of your head and into the universe.

It is so good to release negativity and feel inner peace so that your mental, emotional and physical health can flourish! Drink your water, do your skincare routine and give yourself compliments because you gotta love yourself before anyone else can!

Find YOUR People 👯‍♀️

One of the best parts of the Summer is that we have time off to enjoy the simpler things in life, more sunlight into the evening and a chance to spend time with the ones who bring us joy! Whether it’s a significant other, your best friends or your family, take time to really do something with them! Go on a road trip to somewhere new, explore a new city or spend some downtime at the beach or pool making memories that will last a lifetime. You have all the time in the day to make the most of it so why not do it with the people that you love?!

Wear What Makes YOU Happy ❤️

During the Summer, the fashion of the season can be SO FUN, so why not use it to express yourself! Whether you try out a new aesthetic like the Coconut Girl or you still to your go-to summer faves, have fun with style! Always remember that you look beautiful when you feel beautiful so figure out what summer dresses, denim shorts, and swimsuits make you feel the most confident and strut your stuff all Summer long! If you have yet to find what pieces you really love, don’t forget to check out Curtsy to find your seasonal wardrobe!

3 Aesthetics You NEED for Summer 2021 🌼

Post author By nikki
Post date July 7, 2021

So the Summer is the time to have fun in the sun BUT there is a way to do it in style! There are three Summer aesthetics that have been trending lately 📈 so we have all the details on how to dress like the Coconut Girl, Maximalist, and Cottagecore babes this Summer! A lot of it you probably already have in your closet and the rest you can definitely find secondhand through the Curtsy App! We want the Curtsy Gals looking trendy this Summer so let’s get started!

🐚 Coconut Girl
The Coconut Girl is what we all THOUGHT we were dressing like when we wore brands like Billabong, Hollister and Pacsun in Middle school. She is a trendy, beachy, y2k/90s babe in Summer 2021! Some staples of the Coconut Girl include hibiscus print, crochet clothing, shells, beads, chunky jewelry, low rise mini skirts and baby tees, and of course – bucket hats and hair scarves!

💥 Maximalist
The Maximalist is someone who LOVES to stand out with bold prints and use fashion in showstopping ways. There has been such a push towards minimalism in fashion, interior design and style the last few years that it is not surprising that the opposite is making a statement. Some ways to find pieces in the Maximalism style world would be to mix patterns, geometric shapes, add bright colors, funky jewelry and avant garde clothing to your closet this season!

👒 Cottagecore
Cottagecore style started to rise in popularity last year when the world was significantly slowing down. People began spending time baking bread, spending more time in the gardens and going on nature walks to escape the reality of the state of the world. Cottagecore aesthetic is returning to simpler times – baking, making candles, wearing billowy sleeves, peasant tops and super feminine dresses. Floral patterns, gingham, muted and pastel tones, hats, scarves and appreciating the world around you is the perfect way to get in touch with your cottagecore self!

Comeback Queens 👑: Coach

Post author By nikki
Post date June 17, 2021

💭 I can clearly remember my FIRST designer bag because let’s be honest, it makes you feel so cool to whip it out before you are about to leave the house! You carry your chapstick, maybe a wallet and your phone and anything else you can fit inside. 👛 For some, their first bag will be from different places, but mine was most certainly from Coach. It was a cute little wristlet that fit a few things that I needed in high school – so not much if we are being honest!

Coach really disappeared off the radar for years but it is making a comeback so time to pull out your old bags, shoes and other accessories with the famous C on them. The comeback has made its way into malls, online and on social media, so it must really be something to talk about! Let’s take a closer look at the rise, fall and bigger rise of Coach overtime so you are fully ready for it!

Coach History

In 1940s Manhattan, the first Coach bags were inspired by the design of a baseball glove with tan, high-quality leather, stitched together with perfection. In 1962, Bonnie Cashin was hired and the whole brand got a major upgrade. Cashin’s motto was to “make things as lightweight as possible, as simple as possible, as punchy as possible, and as inexpensive as possible which led Coach to become the place to find affordable luxury. As Lew Frankfort became the CEO in 1979, a new era was welcomed where Coach was a household name brand.

Coach in 2000s

While Coach had an issue with being considered luxurious and affordable at the same time, it did leave room for a new branding to be added to the bags. The known “C” that is on so many of the Coach pieces makes the brand easily distinguishable from just any bag but it led to tons of knock offs being created to mimic the brand. The thing that makes a designer bag wanted by the public is a feeling of exclusivity – Coach lost that.

This coupled with the fact that Coach began to focus so much on sales so they opened stores EVERYWHERE, malls, side stores, outlets and more, it just became so accessible that it was always on sale too. This impacted the quality of the bags negatively as well. There were other affordable luxury brands gaining popularity as well in Tory Burch, Michael Kors and Kate Spade to name a few.

Coach’s Rebrand

In the end of 2020 and into this new year, Coach scaled back on stores, stopped continuous sales and started working to bring back the quality and exclusivity of the brand. A new demographic has been focused on too, in hopes that sales will begin to rise again in their bags. The focus originally being on Suburban moms proved to not be as valuable as a younger customer with more disposable income. Hopefully these new changes will result in a new amount of growth for this brand!

There is a new push in sustainably creating their products from upcycled leather and recycled plastic as well as new bags, shoes, and other beauty and accessory products to fit the new generation! If you’d like to get your hands on this brand comeback, this week’s sale on Curtsy is on Coach! We hope to see you on the app!

Brands Made With Love 🏳️‍🌈

Post date June 10, 2021

June marks the beginning of Pride Month, so we are taking some time to share 10 amazing LGBTQ+ owned brands for you to take a look at! While this month is all about supporting, uplifting, and learning from the LGBTQ+ community, we should all continue to be allies and constantly educate ourselves everyday outside of just the month of June. Curtsy is proud to support all underrepresented/underserved communities. 💞

From clothes, to makeup to gifts and lifestyle brands, we had added a little bit of everything so be sure to check them out below and comment or IG DM us any of your faves at the end!

❤️ Ash + Chess
Ashley Molesso + Chess Needham are queer and trans couple based in Richmond, VA. They create stationary, greeting cards and prints that use amazing bold colors and artwork for their audience to bring joy and make political statements through their work!

🧡 Because
Created on “color, happiness, and excitement,” Because is a brand where fashion doesn’t have to be taken too seriously. Hawwaa Ibrahim always felt like the “other” growing up as a non-binary, Black, queer, Muslim and so fashion was the place they felt free. From pom-poms as jewelry to crochet rainbow sweaters, Because will help you express yourself, inclusively.

💛 Flavnt Streetwear
FLAVNT was created with the goal to give everyone, especially members of the LGBTQ+ community confidence and pride in their clothing and showing self-love to the world around us. The clothing created is to inspire and include always.

💚 Folly Fire Cosmetics
“Fierce Beauty without the BS” – that is what Folly Fire Cosmetics is all about! This new Vegan, cruelty-free and clean product beauty brand is full of bold and vibrant beauty products that make all people feel beautiful from the moment they use it!

💙 Gc2b
In 2015, the Trans-owned brand gc2b was founded to create chest-binding shirts for the Trans community. There was a massive gap in the market for Trans people to find chest-binding garments that were comfortable and unique in style so gc2b has been an amazing company to watch and support!

💜 Heartshake Studios
The Southwestern inspired designs, colors and style of Heartshake Studios paved the way for the creative couple Kit and their husband to start their own business in homegoods, art and more. The handcrafted and vintage feel of all the pieces in the shop make anyone feel at home!

🤎 Musée Beauty
Sisters Tara + Kaya brought their love of makeup and art together to create Musée Beauty – a place where people could quite literally use their face as a blank canvas and create art. This cruelty-free, queer-owned makeup brand is bold and beautiful!

🖤 Otherwild
Founded in 2012 by a queer-identifed woman in L.A with the focus in ethics and interdisciplinary arts driving this brand, Otherwild is the perfect place to find unique homegoods and apparel.

🤍 Peau De Loup
Peau De Loup is an androgynous, genderless brand for all people. When the founders came together to create this business, it was because they found themselves not being able to fit “men’s” clothing. They decided to create their own pieces and Peau De Loup was born. The perfect button up for everyone can be found here!

💖 Suay Sew Shop
Suay is an ethical and sustainable home goods and clothing brand. Based in L.A., this brand sources products from recycled clothing waste to create everything from pillows to clothing!

Comeback Queens 📈: Abercrombie

Post author By nikki
Post date May 18, 2021

So let’s take a little trip back to 2009 shall we… 💭 your parents just dropped you and your friends off at the local mall where you are all walking around on a Saturday afternoon and you see THE store. Abercrombie. It’s dark, it’s loud and it is so COOL. You want all the floral prints, the denim and the huge logos to make sure EVERYONE knows where you shop. This time in so many of our lives is remembered so clearly but you probably stopped shopping there a couple years later…

But — it’s 2021 now and Abercrombie is making a comeback to an online and in-store shop near you. We wanted to take you down memory lane to Abercrombie’s past and share what it has to offer now in the future. Let’s see if you will be making your way back in the store soon.

A Little Abercrombie History

I’m not sure if you remember the huge logo on Abercrombie pieces in the past that have “1892” on them but it was by no coincidence – that is when the brand was founded. It was originally created as a fishing and hunting gear brand by David T. Abecrombie and a few years later Ezra Fitch purchased many shares – leading to the name Abercrombie & FItch.

The massive, 12-story building in New York sold men’s + women’s clothing through the years, even to famous names like John F. Kennedy + Ernest Hemingway.

Abercrombie in the 2000s

Through the rest of the 1900s, the company continued to grow and sink with the economy and in the 1990s, Mike Jefferies took over as CEO which would change the brand forever. The perfect models, the unrealistic beauty standards, discimination, lawsuits for indecency, excluding different races, plus sized clothing and more came with him and almost ended the brand – until its recent rebrand with a new CEO…

Abercrombie’s Rebrand

In 2017, Fran Horowitz became the CEO of Abercrombie and turned over a new leaf with the brand top to bottom. New inclusive sizes, brighter stores and more classic and timeless pieces for an older target audience brought Abercrombie back from the dust. Now you can go into a smaller, more welcoming store with brighter lights, quieter music and more inclusive size ranges.

The brand has become a huge advocate for representation and equality by partnering with The Trevor Project and the Steve Fund which donates to the LGBTQ+ and the mental Health of BIPOC respectively. The message is clear and it shows through their ads, media, partnerships and new styles. Some trends to look out for from A & F are their bathing suits, jeans, pride collection and more! When heading back into the mall or online shopping, take a look at what the brand has to offer now because it does not disappoint! Start your search with Curtsy today.

🗣️ Also, for this week only, 15% off all Abercrombie on Curtsy.
Sale valid 5/16-5/22/21

Stay tuned to see what other trends we uncover 🕵🏾‍♀️…

🖐🏽 Tips for Cleaning Out Your Closet

Post author By nikki
Post date May 6, 2021
1 Comment on 🖐🏽 Tips for Cleaning Out Your Closet

So we have all been there, standing in our closet – full of clothes – yet, we are thinking to ourselves… I have got NOTHING to wear! Whenever this happens I know it is time to sell some clothes on Curtsy to make some cash, and buy some new pieces that are fresh and exciting! I am going to give you five easy tips to help you decide when an item of clothing is ready to go!

It Doesn’t Fit

Our bodies are constantly changing and we often find ourselves holding on to pieces we “could fit again” in the future, but that is a sign to SELL! If you still love the item, and it is gently used, but you just don’t fit it anymore, it is time to let it go! Someone else will get a better use out of it! ♻️

Not Your Style Anymore

As I said before, trends are ALWAYS changing so if you don’t like an item anymore, there is no reason to hold on to it! We are constantly looking for something new to add to our wardrobe, and so the item that you found in the bottom drawer from your preppy phase in high school can be passed on to the Curtsy closet! 👡

You’ve Gotten Your Use Out of It

We purchase so many items because we need them for special occasions or we have outgrown it, but we hold on to it for a rainy day! If it’s served its purpose – it is time to LET IT GO and give it to the Curtsy Closet! ✌🏼

You Won’t Wear it Again

This tip goes hand in hand with the last one – if you know for a fact that you will never wear a certain trend, print or style ever again, there is absolutely no reason to still keep it in your drawers! You should sell it, get some cash for it and use that money to get an iced coffee, a new trend you love or something special you’ve been saving up for! 💖

It Doesn’t Bring You Joy

Like Marie Kondo said, “Does this spark joy?” If it does, keep it and if not – let it GO! We love to hold on and keep things just to have, but it is so nice when your collection is organized and you can sell what no longer serves a purpose in your wardrobe! So why not add it to your Curtsy closet for some $$$! 💸
