How to Become a Trendy Girl

All you need to become a trendy person is self-confidence and being authentic. You can learn how to create positive changes in your life to become the person you desire and always feel confident in front of others. Maximize the real version of yourself and develop your unique style.

Visualize yourself and your future as a trendy girl. What does it mean to be a trendy girl? Are there aspects of yourself that need to be more trendy? Imagine yourself as a person with a style that's uniquely your own. How would your movements, actions, or clothing choices be different?

• Picture the trendy girl you want to become. What will change? Will you speak more or less? Will you dress differently or the same? Where do you live? What is your profession? Who are you associated with?
• Think about the role model whose style you admire. Do you prefer Joan Jett or Madonna? Joni Mitchell or Janis Joplin? Angelina Jolie or Judi Dench? There are many iconic women to look up to.

Be consistent in your actions. Once you’ve visualized yourself as a trendy girl, the most effective way to make small changes is to act in accordance with your vision. It might sound silly, but try moving, behaving, and even thinking like the trendy girl you’ve envisioned. Start with small actions and gradually create bigger changes.

• Trendy people always exude confidence in everything they do. Imagine yourself being confident as a person with a unique style. Try walking down a hallway in your own way. Now, walk as a trendy person would. Create the change you wish to see.
• Choose one of your role models, such as Angelina or Janis, and mimic the way she walks every day. Dress in a style you think she would wear, based on what you have in your closet. Say what you think she would say in a given situation.

Harness your passion. What do you want to achieve? What is your life goal? Trendy girls don’t complain; they are the ones in control of their lives and take action to get what they want. If you’re unsure of what you need or how to achieve your goals, things can become difficult.

• If the concept of "passion" seems too complicated, think about your hobbies. What do you enjoy doing? What are your goals for 5, 10, or 30 years down the line?

Stop waiting for permission. Trendy girls don’t wait for anyone to give them permission to do something. With your own unique style, you must act based on your knowledge and purpose, pursuing what you want without worrying about whether others approve.

• Behaving to please others is not the way of a trendy girl. Act for yourself, be confident but not selfish.
• Of course, if you're still in school or underage, you’ll need to follow certain rules to avoid setbacks. Learning how to compromise with rules isn’t easy when you still want to do things your way.

Think openly. Trendy individuals are thoughtful and cautious, yet not conservative. Remember that you need to live outwardly and showcase your inner beauty. Think about and plan how to express your unique style, but make sure to live realistically instead of in a dream world.

• Don’t be afraid to speak your mind. If you have something to say, a trendy girl will always voice what she’s thinking.
• Write the story of your life, where you are the main character with a distinctive personality. See yourself as both the protagonist and narrator in your own biographical movie.

Relax. Trendy girls choose to live comfortably. They are determined, calm, and serene. If you want to become more trendy, always stay calm when facing challenges and act as though you have fewer worries than your peers. You’re not interested in fleeting trends or group hangouts. You act on your own terms, and that makes you different.

• Trendy girls are not cold or emotionless. Show enthusiasm when necessary. You can act differently from those around you. If everyone in the group gets overly excited, stay calm. If everyone is indifferent about studying, become energetic. Go against the norm.

Speak first in conversations, but speak less. Taking the initiative to speak first gives you a few advantages. It helps you start the conversation, control the flow, and steer the topic in the direction you want. You set the rules and lead the way. Speaking less can help you control the situation and avoid getting into unnecessary arguments.

• After taking control and setting the rules, it’s best to remain silent and stay composed. Let others speak. Pay close attention to what they’re saying and genuinely care about their words, but don’t let yourself be overly influenced.
• If you must interrupt, speak calmly and clearly. Start by saying, "I have something to say," and pause for 5-10 seconds. People will listen to you.

Rely on yourself. A trendy person won’t always need others’ help. This clearly depends on your status and job, but the important thing is to try to be as self-reliant and decisive as possible. You’re not a helpless, gloomy girl – you’re a trendy girl who can take care of herself.

• If you really need help, that’s okay – we’re all human. However, don’t give the impression that you can’t do something by yourself. Take pride in your efforts to get things done on your own.

Help other girls. Don’t keep your strong personality to yourself. A person who is unselfish and always helps others when needed will be seen as mature, interesting, and admirable. Don’t assume that women are always jealous of each other. Be kind to other girls and make friends with many of them.

• If you’re still in school, protect the weaker girls and hang out with those who have fewer friends. Spend time with the new girl in class. Start conversations with those who aren’t fluent in the language. That’s the way of a trendy girl.

Accept risk in your plans. Are you willing to do something that could fail? That’s what a trendy girl does. People with strong personalities don’t live too safely or securely, they’re ready to face challenges to achieve greater success than others. Be honest with your teacher when they teach a controversial topic. Stand up to a bully when a friend is being mocked. Apply for a scholarship even when you’re unsure you’ll get it. Take on a leadership role in your group. Be ready to face failure.

• "Risk in your plans" doesn’t mean "doing dangerous things." It can mean courageously talking to a barista at a coffee shop and being prepared if they ignore you, not drinking a whole bottle of alcohol and driving your dad’s car. Being trendy and acting recklessly are two completely different things.

Be True to Yourself. Becoming a trendy girl isn’t about pretending. A trendy girl isn’t a "mean girl." It’s not a trick, a mask, or a fleeting trend, and it doesn’t relate to the feminist idea of becoming a "leader." We recognize trendy people by their most authentic, least pretentious version. If you want others to say, "She’s so trendy," when they describe you, do what you truly want for a reason, not for the sake of reputation.

Decide how you want to dress. Trendy people don’t follow temporary trends or fads. They look trendy because they choose to. A trendy girl might dress like she lives on a farm with a youthful short haircut and cowboy boots, or she could dress like a fashionable trendsetter with oversized sunglasses and Vogue brand clothes. Your style should reflect your true self, not try to change who you are.

• Link your wardrobe to your authentic life. If you have rough hands and cracked nails, accept it. Be yourself.
• Dress how you imagine yourself. If you want to create positive changes in your life, clothes can influence your mood. Look through your closet and choose outfits that inspire you or ones that your favorite trendy icon would wear.

Wear clothes that make you feel confident. Clothing affects your mood and can elevate your sense of self-worth. If your outfit doesn’t reflect who you are, it might change how you feel on the inside. Be mindful about your clothes, whether you want to dress stylishly or casually, but choose whatever makes you feel most comfortable.

• Reorganize your wardrobe and try on different pieces. Which ones truly match your needs? Which ones make you feel confident? Sexy? Powerful? Trendy? Wear those.

Clean out your wardrobe. Get rid of anything that doesn’t suit the trendy girl image. It’s easy to accumulate clothes over the years and hold on to old loungewear, but if those items don’t make you feel confident and stylish, they have to go. By keeping only the clothes that make you feel empowered and strong, you’ll always feel trendy, and that confidence will influence your actions.

Stop Chasing Temporary Trends. Trends are all about making you appear fashionable in the eyes of others, not necessarily in your own. You might spend hours flipping through fashion magazines to keep up with the latest trends each month, but that’s not what a trendsetter does. Trying to lead the trends means you’re simply "fashionable," not truly unique.

• If you are genuinely interested in fashion and want to follow trends, do what you love. However, don't pressure yourself. A true trendsetter won't be swayed by what others think.

Make Eye Contact. One of the most effective ways to come across as confident when interacting with others is to make more eye contact. This gives you a strong and self-assured presence that will draw attention to your powerful gaze.

• You don’t always have to seem accommodating, agreeable, or go along with everyone else. Approach conversations as if you’re carefully considering what the other person is saying, and you might even disagree. This is how a true trendsetter gets to the truth from others. Don’t let anyone intimidate you—become someone others will respect.
