How to dress like the popular girls from your fav 2000s teen movies

I don’t care what lies you’ve told ourselves in the years since you graduated, but in high school we all wanted to be the popular girls. Or at least we all wanted to dress like them.

And that’s because the popular girls always wore all of the latest trendy fashions all the time, probably because they were the only ones at your school rich enough to buy them.

But do you know who was even cooler than the popular girls at your school? The popular girls from your favorite teen movies.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to dress like them.

Get your thotty school girl on

It goes without saying, but the best way to dress like a popular girl from high school is to dress like a thotty schoolgirl.

It’s a classic for a reason.

Dress like a cheerleader

TBH it’s kind of hard to do this without looking psycho if you’re not actually a cheerleader, but if you are, flaunt it.

People love cheerleaders. Plus it’ll save you 15 minutes in the morning. Uniforms are kind of a drag, but when it’s 7 AM and you still have an english paper to finish before first period, they can really come in handy.

Plus, even if you get in trouble for say, robbing a bank to finance your pregnancy, you’ll still look super cute.

Strategically unbuttoned cardigans

As much as you like to think you dress like a turbo thot while you’re still in high school, your outfits are usually still relatively tame. At least compared with what you’ll be wearing in college in just a few years.

But if there’s one thing high schoolers love to do, it’s to show off their newly formed boobs in whatever they’re wearing.

Like say your mom makes you wear a cardigan to school.

After you walk out of the car, casually unbutton yourself until you can see the tip of the cleavage your push-up bra is working overtime to produce.

And if you’re not scared of showing your midriff to the world, you can always unbutton from the bottom too.

A flirty tube top with matching pants

Nothing screams I’m a rich bitch who eats guys like you for breakfast like a preppy pink tube top with matching preppy pink pants.

Pink is your friend in high school. Wear it now or forever lose your chance once you realize the good girl aesthetic looks bad with your skin tone.

Teens wear sunglasses too and they’re not afraid to experiment with the most outrageous sunglasses trends.

So stop being a pussy and just say yes to whatever pair you’ve doomed to an eternity of wish list purgatory.

Sure, you may regret it in 10 years, but who cares. You’ll regret not being fun more.

A top that makes your boobs look great, but doesn’t quite fit you.

cant_hardly_wait_fash_galore_mag

Like I mentioned earlier, a huge part of being a high schooler means showing off your cleavage.

And while some of us are blessed with the fearlessness to walk into a house party wearing a bra top that fits our surprisingly adult body perfectly, most of our efforts look a little more like the girl to Jaime Pressly’s right.

While the shirt she’s wearing probably fit fine when she tried it on wearing a t-shirt bra, once she put on a push-up bra, it got just a little too tight. You can tell by the fact that the thin line which should fit securely underneath her boobs if inching up towards her nipples.

But let’s just assume you all wanna look like Jaime Pressly instead.

Cute mini purses

never_been_kissed_fash_1_galore_mag

High school is pretty much the one time in a woman’s life where she can get away with wearing a purse that doesn’t match her outfit and nobody will say anything about it to her.

Especially if she’s popular and the purse is so tiny it can barely even fit one lip gloss.

Slap on a slip dress

19_things_fash_1_galore_mag

A huge part of dressing like a popular girl from high school means wearing clothing that appeal to men and make you look like a feminine idol.

But if that sounds icky, just remember this: high school boys are really dumb. And if they worship you, they’ll legit do anything you want.

So find a girly sundress that fits your body to a t and get ready to make those boys fight over who gets to hold your books on the way to class.

Maybe you should start holding auditions for who your boyfriend should be. Just a thought.
