This blog is a mess like my life

#the tear!

The homophobic gag in that rom com,

the racist side character in that coming of age story,

I haven’t seen all of them (only OG, France, Germany, Austin, and Netherlands so far) so take this with a grain of salt, but here’s what I’ve got.  Apologies in advance for the janky collages, but I wanted to give an idea of each character’s style.  Also, if you feel like I’m missing anything, please feel free to add!

Noora (Skam OG) - OG Noora has a very classic Scandi style.  She wears a lot of oversized sweaters and coats, mom jeans, and boxy/masculine cut tops.  She wears a lot of black, white, and primary colors, button up shirts, turtlenecks, and stripes. A lot of her clothes are from Monki and Bikbok. She always wears a red lipstick (Smashbox Be Legendary in Infrared Matte, Artdeco’s 12.208 Cream Red Muse, Clinique High Impact Lip Color in 12 Red-y To Wear and IsaDora Perfect Matt Lipstick in 05 Femme Fatale).  This blog breaks down Noora’s looks the same way that I do for Effy’s looks.

Manon (Skam France) - I actually have a Manon style blog here (that I don’t update as frequently as I should). Her look is one that I really like.  Like OG Noora, she wears a lot of oversized coats (the two she wears the most are the Mango Prince of Wales wool-blend blazer and the Mango Unstructured Wool-Blend Coat) and sweaters (particularly a chunky mustard yellow turtleneck from Camaieu), but her other clothes are a bit more fitted.  Unlike Noora’s mom jeans, Manon tends to wear the Monki “Oki” skinny jeans in dark blue or black.  Manon frequently wears horizontal striped tee shirts and a white cardigan.  She also wears a lot of sneakers and occasionally a beret. Like OG Noora, her color palette is typically primary colors, black, white, and grey. Also like Noora, she always wears a red lip.  Manon wears a lot of items from Monki and Mango.

Mia (Druck/Skam Germany) - Mia’s style is a little more casual than Noora or Manon’s.  She typically wears a sporty tee shirt, hoodie, blue beanie, and a puffer jacket with mom jeans.  Sometimes she’ll swap out the puffer jacket for a checked blazer coat.  She wears a lot of blue.  Occasionally we’ll see her in a more “Noora” outfit, with a cream or white sweater.  She sometimes wears the Noora red lipstick, but not as frequently as other Nooras.

Grace (Skam Austin) -  Grace’s style is primarily solid colored tees, both long sleeve and short sleeve, in a casual, stretchy fabric.  Usually the shirts are crew necks, but we also see her wearing polos, turtlenecks, v-necks, and off the shoulder shirts.  Typically she pairs them with straight leg or wide leg high waisted trousers or skinny jeans.  Her color palette is more diverse than many of the other Nooras.  She wears a lot of blue, cream, pink, red, and mustard yellow.  Like Mia, she doesn’t wear red lipstick as much as OG Noora, but she will wear it when she dresses up. 

Liv (Skam NL/Netherlands) - Like OG Noora, Liv’s style plays with oversized items and masculine influences. She typically wears high waisted mom jeans, usually distressed.  She also really loves tops and coats with a collar.  Like OG Noora, she wears an oversized white button down top.  She wears a lot of jackets in soft materials like corduroy.  Tee shirts are also a big part of her wardrobe, either short or long sleeved. For shoes, she wears a lot of chunky boots, like black Doc Martens.  The thing that makes Liv’s style unique is she can often be seen wearing headpieces.  She wears a lot of headbands, and also a lot of hats.  Liv doesn’t typically wear lipstick, but when she does she opts for a more purple-red as opposed to Noora, who often wears a true red.

Eleonora (Skam Italia) - Eleonora’s look is a little more tailored and structured than Noora’s.  For example, she wears a pair of tailored shorts and a black jumper dress (is that what it’s called?), and her shirts tend to be more structured and body-hugging.  Like OG Noora, she wears cream turtlenecks, white button up shirts, and vertical striped button up shirts.  Her coat is also more structured than some of the other Nooras’.  Like Mia, Eleonora’s clothes are primarily shades of blue.

Nora (Skam Espana) - Nora’s style is a bit cuter and more twee than some of her counterparts.  She wears a lot of Peter Pan collared shirts (white, light blue, polka dot, vertical stripes, and sleeveless).  She also wears a lot of graphic tees.  I think she wears mostly jeans, either blue mom jeans or black skinnies, but she also has a really cool pair of black and white vertically striped jeans.  Like all of her counterparts, she wears a cream turtleneck under a coat, and like OG Noora, she wears the red lipstick.

Zoe (wtFOCK/Skam Belgium) - From what I can tell (having not seen the show) Zoe’s style seems a lot like OG Noora’s.  Lots of coats, button up shirts, chunky knits, mom jeans, and red lipstick.  If you’ve seen the show and you feel like her style has some unique factors, let me know.

In general, all the Nooras have a style that’s functional and utilitarian.  They tend to like solid colors or stripes, and pieces that aren’t too fitted or sexy.  Most of them wear some version of jeans, a tee shirt/button up shirt/chunky sweater, and a coat.  I think all of them wear some version of the cream sweater + coat outfit:
