Lola's style is eccentric, as is her personality, and her outfits follow my favorite formula which is whatever she thinks looks good. The writer of the film states that she is a Pisces, and every outfit shows depth and thought put into it and exemplifies good style knowledge that is essential to making good outfits (psst. need 2 know more abt that ? I have a post coming out ;)

Let's looks at some key details of Lola's outfits !

Accessories! One of the most important parts of these fits is the accessories ! Lola is a sucker for a good hat (as am I) and my favorite type of hat right now is the baker boy/newsboy hat we see here. The grommets make it even better (one of my personal fav details rn) She wears other types of hats too though, including baseball caps, beanies, and scarves tied around her head. Accessories normally make an outfit, but her use of hats, belts, outfit-appropriate necklaces, and jewelry, commonly seen in large silver hoops, and of course her signature bottlecap necklace (you can make it! see link below) totally make most of her outfits.

Layering (Jackets !!) Lola wears many types and builds of jackets in this movie, my favorites being her army green zip-up, feather-trimmed mesh duster, and don't even get me started on the amazing patchwork leather jacket ! The outfits without these layers are okay but often her jacket is a statement piece and totally makes the outfit She also employs layering in her earliest outfits, layering the fishnet top over the "I <3 NY" tee I'm sure you've already seen on Pinterest and her first day of school outfit that is topped off with a scarf-like shawl tied around her shoulders

Graphic tees/ Patterned tops Now if you hadn't seen the last image on Pinterest I'm 100% SURE you've seen this iconic photo. I love this outfit and the color story is dramatically made better by Lola's red and black simple graphic tee she wears with her green cargos that is dejavu to Freaky Friday (issue coming soon) This is the top she chooses from Stu Wolff's house nearing the end of the movie and colored metallic is so very early 2000's

Customization I absolutely LOVEE customization (issue coming soon, geez how many times have I said that now lol) and it is a big part of Lola's outfits. This handmade-looking NY Knicks jersey is to die for and I'd like to believe she made it herself, and you probably could recreate or do something inspired by with materials from the thrift ! As you can see in some of the previous photos as well she adds her own decorative flair to all of her things, like the pins on her bag in the bike pic and her customized name hat in the same image.

Dressing for the Occasion One of Lola's biggest fashions strengths, I think is dressing for the occasion/ situation she is put in. You can see this in her outfits for the "death" of her favorite band Sidarthur (not pictured, can't find for some reason), her audition for the school play (modern pygmalion), and this 80's workout fit she wore to dance practice. This makes her outfits seen on key and perfect for the event she is at, and she never seems out of place, just more dressed than the rest

Last Call !! Makeup and Hair !

Lola's hair is Lindsay Lohan's natural orangey-red, but more blonde on top making it seem a bit sun-bleached (doesn't make much sense in context but still very pretty). She doesn't do many hairstyles in this movie, instead opting for hats when there is detail missing on the top of her outfit. This being said her hair is down for 99% of the movie, which means it's in loose spiral curls (Let's be honest nobody's hair does that naturally) so a blowout is probably necessary.

Her makeup is veryy minimal, but you can tell she is wearing some. To me, her character seems like someone who would experiment a lot with her makeup looks, but if anything it lets the outfits shine even more. I would guess she is wearing nude or pinkish eyeshadow, maybe a bit of brown to darken right under her eyes and where eyeliner goes on top of the eye. I also see a pinkish blush (choose what's right for your skin and undertones :) and most likely mascara with black eyeliner on both waterlines. Highlight could be added to make the look more modern but make sure it's light !

Lola's character is very outgoing and I think we could all learn from her a bit. She wears all of her outfits with confidence, isn't afraid of what others think, and believes in herself and her abilities. She is eccentric, sure, but very fashionable and isn't afraid of failure. She always gives it her all and I think that is very admirable.

TL;DR of this article :) aka. Basics of how to look like Lola Cep <3

Accessories!! Hats (baker boy hats, baseball caps, beanies, scarves, you name it), statement chokers, big silver hoops, belts, and her signature bottlecap necklace are key

Layering! Jackets and statement jackets are key, and also fishnet shirts and big sheer shawls

Graphic tees :) simple and cute, stick to 2-3 colors for maximum wear potential

Personalize your shit ! buttons, patchs, pins, custom jerseys and tees are perf

Dress for the occasion ! Play audition = dress like the time period the play was written, Athletics ? 80's workout inspired ! Death ? PAINT IT BLACK (respectfully ofc)

Hair is not that important, as it is in loose curls and down in 99% of the movie, and the color is also not too crucial but the original Lola's was sunbleached orangey red

makeup is minimal, neutral eyeshadow, mascara, pinky blush, and black eyeliner in the waterlines, maybe highlight to modernize it but LIGHT !

the baggy pants- Avril has many iconic looks and the early days of her style she mostly wore pants, either patterned or plain that created the tomboy aspect of her style. 

Odd accessories- The most popular accessories for Avril to wear at the beginning were neckties and frequent skull motifs, and black nail polish.

Converse- Converse high-tops in any color were a staple shoe in her closet

Plaid and punk- I don’t mean to misuse the work punk, but a lot of Avril’s outfits play into the new age punk of the 2000s, so even if she was wearing a basic or plain outfit there were always little pops that made it interesting ~Jewelry- Avril exclusively wore silver jewelry, and often times layered and wore statement pieces, and specifically I noticed quite a few different cross necklaces. Another staple were jelly bands. Stack lots of bracelets. ~Others include: lace gloves, knee high socks, lacey details on pieces such as skirts, etc.

The obvious part of all of these looks we haven’t touched on yet is the finishing details: Makeup and hair.

As seen in these images Avril's hair is rarely in any other style than pin straight, but her part changes from middle to side depending on the source. 

That is just the look though, because the colors are constantly changing, but it is always color streaks. This is one of the best and most iconic parts of Avril’s 2000′s look imo. She has had pink streaks on the side, all over black streaks, and many more. 

As for the makeup, she normally sports a dark smokey eye heavy on the eyeliner and not much else. It works perfectly though, and this look is easily achieved with a kohl pencil or even just a black eyeshadow. If you’re going for the messy look you don’t even really need a brush just smudge that shit with your fingers. It’s grunge is an excuse for almost everything.

A specific variation of her classic eye look is the pop of colour she sometimes out underneath the eye. It adds depth and can coordinate with your outfit. Her most used colors here were red and a deep reddish purple.

can’t really have an Avril Fashion lookbook/ Inspo guide without mentioning she had/has a clothing brand names Abbey Dawn reportedly inspired by her childhood nickname. In the 2000′s these pieces were actually designed by her. These pieces can still be found secondhand today on websites like poshmark and mercari but they are very expensive. however if you want to cop some Abbey Dawn items, they have a running store up at https://abbeydawn.com/ :))

The finishing touches to this post I think are some additional facts/ mannerisms and quick list of pointers as a tldr :)

Avril is a Libra, and personality believed to be ISFP

Common poses in pictures are the rock on hand sign and an original crossed middle fingers

Her tattoos are a star on her L wrist, Abbey Dawn on her L forearm, XXV on her right, “fuck” on her ribcage and many more not very visible.

TL;DR of this article :) aka. Basics of how to look like Avril Lavigne <3

Most outfits are made with the formula mini top/tank + baggy pants/skirt and add accessories or maybe a jacket

Detailed touches are plaid, skulls, lace, knee socks, gloves, and ties

Add colored streaks in your hair !! Her most iconic are black and pink

Makeup is mostly focused on the eyes and is simple and grungy with a focus on the eyeliner sometimes adding colors underneath.
