When there’s a new TV show that takes place in high school or college, you know the fashion won’t disappoint. There have only been two seasons so far of Euphoria, but the style of the main characters has already made a big impact. A lot of the looks are not even realistic outfits you could wear to high school, especially if there’s a strict dress code, but you can still take inspiration for when you go out with friends or even if you want an easy Halloween fit. A lot of fast fashion brands have quickly jumped on the trends and you can see Euphoria-inspired items everywhere. However, there are many sustainable brands who have similar pieces as well, and you can also find a lot in thrift stores. So, if you’re obsessed with the fashion in Euphoria (as most people are), consider checking sustainable brands and secondhand shops first, so we don’t harm the planet too much with our fashion cravings.
In this post series, I’m diving into the most iconic looks from some of the main characters, and show you how you can recreate the looks with items from sustainable brands. In this first post, Jules Vaughn, who might be the most experimental and adventurous with her style. Check out the other posts to read the guides on how to dress like the other main characters Rue Bennett and Cassie Howard.
Jules Vaughn
Jules Vaughn, played by Hunter Schafer, is the free-spirited new girl in town with platinum blonde hair and colourful style, who instantly became close to Zendaya’s character, Rue Bennett. In the first season she wears generally feminine clothes like mini skirts, pink and purple colours and tight tops. To recreate this, you just have to collect all the pastel and candy coloured items you own and start layering. You can’t go wrong with a long sleeve mesh top, a baby tee on top, and a pleated mini skirt. The times she does wear more oversized clothes, you’ll see her in a bomber jacket or windbreaker and ripped baggy jeans.
Her style went through a bit of a transition from the first season to the second season. Her style is edgier and more androgynous in season two as she wears more baggy clothes and darker colours. So to recreate her season 2 looks, you can be a bit more comfy with oversized hoodies, big T-shirts and baggy pants.
Browse Your Own Closet & Secondhand stores
Recreating outfits in a sustainable way, always starts with checking the clothes you already own. Jules’ style is all about layering so you probably already have some basic layering items, like a white T-shirt with a graphic design, a tight or cropped T-shirt, and maybe even a plaid skirt. The colours are probably the most important, so if you have the colour palette right, you’re pretty much already there. If you don’t own enough items to create a full Jules-inspired outfit, the next step would be to do some thrift shopping. You can do this at your local thrift store or on online apps and websites like Vinted, Depop, thredUP and Poshmark. Here are a few keywords you can use to find the most Jules-like items: sheer, mesh, pastel and candy colours, pleated and plaid skirts, short dresses, cropped baby tee, baggy jeans and tight long sleeve tops.
