the so-called "portuguese girl style," a term stolen from vicky montari's tik tok, which has nearly 7 million views, is characterized by vibrant and eclectic fashion choices. the trend emphasizes a fun and colorful aesthetic, moving away from minimalism and embracing a mix of patterns, colors and textures to create unique and eye-catching outfits.

of course, when you go to paris, you don't expect to see everyone dressed like jean damas, and the same goes for this new trend. but that doesn't mean that the place where we live doesn't inspire an aesthetic that.
in this case, takes its color and vibrancy from sunny lisbon, which is reflected in the clothes and accessories.as well as the vibrant and intricate patterns of portuguese tiles (azulejos), embroidered garments, knitwear, handcrafted details and the color and joyful spirit of summer festivals influence this playful and vibrant fashion choices. it's also inspired by the danish fashion aesthetic popularized during copenhagen fashion week.
for those interested in trying, apparently no rules apply, except that all patterns and hues are encouraged. but you can start by picking:
funky pants: these are often retro or brightly colored pants.
mismatched tops: tops that don't necessarily match the bottoms, often with different patterns or textures.
statement jackets: jackets with bold prints or bright colors, such as quilted, leather, or blazers.
footwear: ballet flats, "ugly" shoes, or trendy sneakers.
accessories: floral hair clips, bold necklaces, colorful handbags, and stylish sunglasses.
