Still unsure what the heck a VSCO girl is [7]? Never fear — we just found the picture-perfect example to illustrate it for you. A dad from Kansas is making the rounds on social media after dressing as a VSCO girl for Halloween [8], and his getup flawlessly ticks off every checkbox for embodying the aesthetic.
In footage first shared by his daughter on — where else? — TikTok, he's seen transforming from a regular ol' jeans-wearing dad into a friendship-bracelet-hoarding, reusable-water-bottle-sipping teenager [9] with the snap of a finger. His wrist is stacked with a collection of multicoloured scrunchies, there's a puka shell necklace around his neck, he's rocking Crocs and Nike crew socks, and of course, his t-shirt is oversize and features a slogan about saving turtles. Meanwhile, his wife is dressed as an eboy — a popular term used to describe "emo" teenage boys [10] — by wearing a black t-shirt, chunky chain necklaces, and dark nail polish.
These parents didn't just wear costumes to mimic these popular teen personas — they full-on acted like them too as their daughter filmed funny videos of them in front of their home. They jokingly partook in TikTok's "Eyes Lips Face" Challenge [12], all while staying in character. The mom acted sullen and moody, while the dad maintained a chipper and friendly demeanour, in true VSCO girl fashion.

Of course, no VSCO girl costume is complete without a little "sksksk" — an expression many teens utter aloud and type over text to denote laughter or general enjoyment. The father uttered his best "sksksk" and even slipped in an "and I oop," as a reference to one of the internet's favourite phrases [21].
See for yourself to LOL.
