The ‘vanilla girl aesthetic’ first started as a Tik-Tok trend in the US and soon spread life wildfire. Seen as a minimalist backlash to the maximalism of the past few seasons, in clothing as well as decor, it has raked up a certain amount of controversy aside as well, with implications of racism — it is seen as a trend that typically favours white, blonde women.

We disagree, though. Whites, beiges and creams are for everyone! Here's the Lounge list of picks to help you score the vanilla girl aesthetic.
