10 Fashion Trends For The VERY “EXTRA” GIRL
Ten trends built for the girl who never met a subtle outfit she liked.
TheThings Celebrity dropped “10 Fashion Trends For The VERY ‘EXTRA’ GIRL” in June 2017, and it’s less a style guide than a permission slip. The video walks through a full wardrobe of maximalist pieces — clashing prints, crystal-covered fabric, platform soles thick enough to trip a runway model — built for anyone who considers “understated” an insult. It’s a direct answer to the quiet-luxury, capsule-wardrobe advice flooding fashion media at the time.
- The countdown runs ten deep, opening with bold prints and mixed patterns as the entry-level move for anyone testing “extra” energy.
- Statement jewelry, bright neon colors, feathers, tulle skirts, and crystal embellishments make up the mid-list, each pushed as a way to layer drama rather than tone it down.
- The list closes on sequins and faux fur, framed as year-round staples rather than New Year’s Eve or red-carpet exclusives.
Prints, Colors, and the Case Against Neutral
The video opens by dismissing muted tones outright — animal print, florals, and abstract patterns are treated as the baseline, not the exception. Mixing prints within a single outfit gets a specific endorsement, as long as it’s worn with the confidence to pull it off. Bright colors follow immediately after, with neon pink and electric blue singled out as the palette for anyone who wants to be spotted across a room rather than blend into it.
That approach lines up with a broader 2017 shift away from minimalism, one that also shows up in how fans track the transformations of style-forward celebrities — the kind of glow-up coverage you see in pieces like The Transformation Of Jason Momoa From Childhood To 42, where personal style evolves alongside public image.
Texture and Drama: Feathers, Tulle, and Ruffles
Three of the ten trends lean entirely on texture rather than color or print. Feathers show up as skirts and capes, tulle gets recommended in both pastel pink and black, and ruffles are pushed to their biggest possible scale — oversized on blouses, layered on skirts. Each one is framed as adding “drama” to an outfit, a word the video repeats across nearly every entry.
The throughline is volume: nothing on this list is meant to sit quietly in a closet. That same appetite for spectacle over subtlety is part of what’s kept modeling competitions and their alumni relevant well past their original air dates — see What The Winners Of America’s Next Top Model Look Like Today for how far a bold look can carry a career.
For the “extra” girl, crystals are not just for jewelry.
Shine as a Wardrobe Requirement
Crystal embellishments, sequins, and bold shoes round out the list’s shine-focused entries. Crystals extend beyond jewelry into clothing and accessories for what the video calls a “dazzling effect,” while sequins get pulled out of their New Year’s Eve box entirely and pitched as everyday wear — dresses, blazers, whatever the occasion calls for. Shoes get the same treatment: neon pumps and oversized platforms aren’t positioned as practical footwear but as a statement piece meant to finish the look from the ground up.
Faux Fur Closes the List
The tenth and final trend is faux fur, worn as a vest or a full coat, pitched as the trend that adds “luxury and drama” to whatever’s underneath it. It’s a fitting bookend to a list that never once suggests restraint — every entry, from print one to fur ten, argues that more genuinely is more.
Ten trends, zero neutrals, and not a single nod to minimalism — that’s the whole pitch. If sequins-as-daywear and platform soles built for maximum height weren’t already showing up on your feed by mid-2017, this list was TheThings’ way of telling you it was time to catch up.
