How to Dress Baddie Style - 6 Outfit Ideas to Nail the Look | The VOU (2024)

Baddie style is a modern way of dressing characterized by an ostentatious blend of clothing, footwear, and accessories with minimalist aesthetics from high-end and streetwear brands to depict an edgy and luxurious lifestyle.

The style is marked by statement pieces such as cropped tops, bodycon dresses, high-waisted jeans, athleisure wear, velvet or faux-fur jackets, designer sneakers or Louboutin heels, accessorized with designer sunglasses, handbags, and jewelry.

The Baddie look makes a statement about personal strength and success by depicting a strong self-image, confidence, empowerment, and a luxurious but informal lifestyle.

In this article, I’ll introduce you to 6 Baddie style outfit ideas designed to capture the look’s essence and create a striking fashion presence.

1. Casual Baddie

The Casual Baddie look epitomizes a relaxed yet assertive style, suitable for everyday wear.

Start with a black cropped Nike t-shirt for an athletic vibe in a nod to the sporty chic aspect of Baddie style, and black leather jogger pants for a hint of glam.

Complete with a pair of black and orange Jordan Air 1 sneakers, a staple in any Baddie wardrobe, and accessorize with hoop earrings to complement the understated outfit.

2. Chic Baddie

The Chic Baddie outfit blends classic tailoring with sensual pieces to deliver a sophisticated and daring look.

Start with a Balmain shoulder pad blazer, a timeless Preppy piece that lends structure and formality, and a lace bustier top from Agent Provocateur or Victoria’s Secret to create an alluring contrast against the clean lines of the blazer.

Combine with Diesel distressed and ripped jeans for a feel of streetwise ruggedness and carefree spirit, and silver ankle chain strap pumps from Valentino or Jimmy Choo for a touch of vintage glamour.

Accessorize with Tiffany & Co. heirloom chain co*cktail earrings and a black Givenchy tote with a crocodile pattern for a clear statement of powerful femininity.

3. Street Baddie

The Street Baddie outfit combines the accent of casual streetwear with a dash of high-fashion flair.

Start with a figure-flaunting Aritzia white cropped cami top paired with an oversized Supreme hoodie for a relaxed streetwear vibe central to this Baddie aesthetic.

Wear American Eagle or Levi’s distressed and ripped baggy for an edgy, carefree vibe, high-top Prada sneakers recalling the style’s preference for designer brands, and conclude with a New Era NY cap for an urban edge touch.

4. Young Money Baddie

The Young Money Baddie outfit exudes luxury and a sharp, fashion-forward attitude.

Start with a La Perla black lace-up corset top to define the sultry sophistication silhouette paired with a long silk slip skirt Slip or Theory.

Draped over the shoulders, a Stella McCartney faux fur coat for a touch of luxury and accessorize with large silver hoop earrings from Hoorsenbuhs and a “Lip Bite” necklace.

Finishing the look with Manolo Blahnik or Jimmy Choo ankle strap pumps and a Diesel 1DR Iconic canvas shoulder bag, ideal to confer a street style edge.

5. Athletic Baddie

The Athletic Baddie look is the sportiest in this list, designed to showcase an active Baddie aesthetic but with a chic twist.

Begin with a Lululemon one-shoulder yoga bra for a trendy and supportive base and white bike shorts from Skims for a comfortable and flattering fit.

Layer with a charcoal puffer jacket from The North Face or Moncler for a contemporary urban edge.

Wear sneakers from Balenciaga x Adidas Stan Smith to bridge the gap between high fashion and classic sportswear and white crew socks, a staple in athletic wear.

Built around a flattering fit cropped corset top from Missguided, the Cute Baddie outfit is a sweet and playful take on the Baddie aesthetic.

Pair the top with high-waisted ripped-at-the-knee skinny jeans from Fashion Nova or Topshop, and elevate the ensemble with white heeled ankle boots from Steve Madden or Aldo.

Accessorize with chunky gold earrings and a matching necklace from Missoma and Kendra Scott, and complete the look with a black quilted shoulder bag from Chanel or Michael Kors to meld youthful charm with a luxe vibe.
