Eboys —Tiktok sensation that is conquering the fashion world

Eboys — the latest fashion trend to begin on TikTok — has taken the world by storm in the last year. Mostly spread by way of TikTok influencers such as Chase Hudson (aka LilHuddy) and other mainstream celebs like Timothée Chalamet.

In this article, we’ll describe the elements that make-up the Eboy style and how you too can incorporate aspects of the look into your daily fit.

What is Eboy Style?

If you — like many others — are interested in developing your own twist on the Eboy look — you must first look at its roots.

This style typically takes inspiration from many different established styles such as: 90s skateboarding , 2000s goth, kpop, punk, and 90s grunge. Though most Eboys favor different styles, aspects of all can be found within the trend.

Some eboys prefer very plain palettes, sticking to greys, blacks, and whites. This is often referred to as Soft Boy Style.

Others prefer to add purples, reds, and neon colors to their outfits. These are called Cyber Goths.

Eboy Hairstyles vary, but a popular trend sparking since the corona virus epidemic started is a long, flowy hairstyle with a middle or middle-leaning part. Many dye or bleach their hair to obtain lush platinum, crimson red or light blue locks.

How to dress like an Eboy?

Here are my tips on how to dress like the most trendy of the eboys:

— Eboy style is built upon pairing casual and formal clothing pieces together. Try and find balance between the two. Here’s a perfect example of this principle.

— If it’s not a baggy top, try tucking it in. Especially with slimmer-fitting tops you might find that tucking it in provides the necessary balance between casual and formal. And with that, if you don’t plan on tucking it in you should make sure the top is baggier to provide volume to your outfit.

— Stick to solid-colored pieces, with a few wide-striped and checkered prints. When you feel more comfortable you can move on to mixing and layering various pieces in unexpected ways.

— Look for pieces at thrift stores and vintage locales to develop unique and interesting fits. Check out popular skate/streetwear brands like Thrasher, Off-White, and Rick Owens if you are willing to spend a little extra.

— Nearly all Eboys own a solid pair of black skinny jeans. Get one. Perfect to wear cuffed or uncuffed for any Eboy fit. But also try grey dress pants with a belt or distressed blue jeans to give your fits variation.

— Crewneck sweaters and white dress shirts are a staple to Eboy Style. It’s not hard to see why when they work so well with such a range of fits. Oversized or tucked in or regular.

— Eboys love a good striped shirt. You can get them either as long-sleeved or short-sleeved and wear them over or under. Either way, they look good.

— Accessorizing like an Eboy is easy with gothic rings, silver/gold chains, piercings, and beanies. White tube socks work wonders for bringing your outfit to life.

— Cuff the pants. Just do it. It looks good.
