The swag style is renowned for being highly diverse and a fashion trend that denotes confidence and attitude. There is no set direction for swag style, so anything goes. It goes for clothing, footwear and also makeup. Black girls’ fashion is incomplete without having some swag clothing collection in their wardrobe.
But what are great ideas for black ladies’ swag look? What outfits should girls with dusky and dark complexion wear for a swag style? What makeup tones and techniques are high? We have this article at Outfit Trends to answer all such queries.
Hip-hop culture primarily inspires the swag style, and no matter what you wear, you have to carry it confidently. We’re all beautiful in our ways and need to realize it to feel proud of ourselves. Unless you realize this, you won’t be able to get the right swag attitude. Here are some of the must-have swag outfit pieces that you need to have in your closet:
A swag look is incomplete without some cool apparel. You can opt for a leather jacket or a cool printed tee to do the trick.
Additionally, hoodies give an uber-fresh look that is synonymous with swag.
Adorning your outfit with chunky chains and jewels will make a great deal.
For your make-up, wear darker colours that complement your skin tone while making you stand apart.
For winters, go for beanie hats, boots and some sweatshirts that can seal the deal for you.
Please look at the following images and use them to help you construct your perfect swag outfit.
How to get a Swag Look
↓ 17. Makeup and Hairstyle Ideas
Natural hair is always a winning style when it comes to swag. However, methods such as cornrows, afros, dreadlocks, and shaved patterns are also acceptable. Different techniques are for different people, and each one will frame your face differently, so make sure it is a style that gets you noticed positively.
For makeup, blacks, silvers, greys, blues, and purples are classic tones; however, do not be shy to go for some exhilarating neon shades! Do have a look at these Snapback Hairstyles for Girls.
Neon is widely accepted in swag, even though we rarely see it. Smokey eyes are brilliant for black ladies as they can make the eyes appear larger and, therefore, a stunning feature. Lipstick is entirely down to personal preference.
You do not need to wear lipstick daily, as the natural shade of your skin will compliment your outfit beautifully. But, if you wear lipstick, ensure it is a shade in keeping with your outfit. Too many clashing colours in makeup can look disastrous.
↓ 16. Street Style Outfits
Anything goes! Large printed vest tops, oversized T-shirts, crop tops, and jackets are all conventional top styles in swag. The bigger and brighter, the better. When adding bottoms to your outfit, choose a manner opposite your top.
If you are wearing a baggy vest top, then wear skinny jeans. If you selected a fitted crop top, why not complete your look with a pair of harem trousers? In swag style, not only are bold colours all the rage and large logo prints frequent, but opposites most definitely attract. Use this simple rule when creating your swag look. Also, check out our Teen Girls Swag Style article for more ideas.
↓ 15. Footwear Options
Perfect swag-style footwear for black women includes Timberland boots, biker-style boots, Jordans or Converse. Sneakers and boots are high for creating a bit of colour and shape at the bottom of the outfit. Chunky heels and boots add depth to your style and a sense of attitude, a must for every swag outfit.
When choosing sneakers, don’t just stick to the original black and white (you can do that if it matches your outfit), but with bold colours already on the go, why not add a splash of colour to your footwear too? Patterns such as animal print, geometrics, stripes, and checks are all great for swag-style footwear.
