8 signs you’ve encountered a cool girl
She’s the girl who breezes by you and catches your eye; she’s the girl with the intimidating stare and the badass wardrobe; she’s the girl who looks aloof but whose personality does not always match her icy exterior. She is the archetypal cool girl. But how to know when you’ve encountered a cool girl IRL? These tell-tales styles are your red-hot indicators you be in the presence of a cool girl.
1. Inspired jewellery
Diamonds (and pearls, gold, sterling silver… you get the point) are a girl’s best friend. Every cool girl has unique, well-loved accessories that showcase her personality.

6. She supports indie designers
Her closet isn’t full of H&M and Zara, a cool girl supports indie, up-and-coming designers and local shops.
7. She keeps her white shoes white
Dirty sneakers? Not in a cool girl’s closet. Her white shoes look brand new even though she wears them multiple times a week.

Leggings are for the gym or for long sweaters, the cool girl reminds us. She would never be seen wearing leggings as pants in public. And if she has to, at least they are super stylish.
