How do we define the “it” girl? Back when the term first rose to fame, “it” girls were the ones who gained their popularity through sexuality, their playfulness and just a natural charisma that no one could seem to put into words. People either wanted her or wanted to be her. This term has since evolved and our definition of the “it girl” isn’t exactly like what it used to be.
As we’ve grown into this world of hustle culture, feminism and the social age, when we think of a modern day “it” girl, the focus becomes less about how she is perceived in the world and is more about how she invests in herself. Think of the girl that starts her day at 5:00 a.m. The one that focuses on simplicity and elegance in her style. The one that nurtures her body in the same way she nurtures her mind and soul. While the actual qualities of the it girl have evolved drastically, at her core, the it girl is the same — a woman with an inexplicable magnetism — only now being the “it” girl doesn’t come from how other people see us but in how we see ourselves.
When we think of the it girl, we think of the girl that has it all. Especially around this type of year, we all know how hard that can be to shop for. But one of the best things about the “it” girl is her simplicity and love for things that never go out of style, much like the “it” girl herself. Whether that's her love for a good classic wardrobe staple, a simple decoration to make her house feel like home, or something small she can use to invest in herself, we’ve scoured all the websites and Pinterest boards to put together a list of must-haves for the “it” girl in your life.
