If you are ready to embrace your inner 2010s Tumblr girl, check out the 13 emo outfits for school down below.
Enjoy!
1. Classic all-black emo outfit for school
For a moody emo girl look, black is the no-brainer.

When in doubt, think of a black graphic tee, grommet belt, and black jeans for a black monotone look.
It’s giving the “Don’t mess with me, not today” vibes.
PRO TIP:
If you don’t want to look too plain in black, wearing different shades of black works wonders.
Think of black-washed jeans and a graphic black tee to give the look more dimensions.
2. Emo red velvet dress for school
This velvet lace dress is just as emo as it is aesthetic and in style.

*Obsessed*
If you want to look “safe” for school, I highly recommend you layer this dress with a white fitted turtleneck top underneath.
Trust me, it will look so good.
3. Plus size cute emo mushroom dress
Of course, how can I forget my plus size baes?

For a cute emo schoolgirl look, this mushroom dress with contrast rainbow crochet bell sleeves is to die for.
With a refreshing hair bun style and a choker necklace, this emo look is effortlessly manageable for school!
4. Black and red striped tee for ALT style
And here we go ladies, the emo girls’ staples – black and red striped tee.

Together with the trendy black mini skirt and statement high platform boots, this outfit is ultra-flattering.
PRO TIP:
To carry the striped shirt in a sleek way, minimize the colors of the clothes to 2.
As a 5’3 girl, a black skirt and black shoes combo is amazing as it just elongates the legs in the best possible way!
5. Cute emo red checkered dress
To blend the schoolgirl and emo vibes together, a checkered dress is what you need.

In the summer days, switching your turtleneck to a white off-shoulder cute top will work wonders.
6. Aesthetic emo girl outfits 2000s
As the quote said, “Moths are just emo butterflies”.

Besides the signature skull prints tee, a moths tee just gives out the lowkey emo vibes in an aesthetic way.
If you are looking for a feminine silhouette, throw on your bootcut jeans and flaunt your curves!
7. Gothic girly black dress
Gravitate towards a gothic emo look? I got you.

A simple yet darling emo girl look, isn’t it?
If you want to spice things up, I highly suggest switching the opaque tights to sheer tights to give the look more dimensions.
And of course, a cute bow hair clip will be a perfect addition if you want to embrace the inner gothic princess at heart.
8. Summer emo outfit for school

Before you roll your eyes and think this outfit is not emo enough, hear me out, you don’t have to be that expressive in all the outfits.
A light-washed black denim skirt is actually perfect for a casual day.
All you need is to add in some leather and silver accents here and there to complete the look.
9. Off-shoulder striped dress
As a girl with chubby cheeks, I LOVE wearing an off-shoulder dress as it makes my face looks smaller comparatively by showing the shoulder.

And this body-hugging black and grey dress is just perfect if you want to be the cool girl in class.
10. Gothic graphic tee
Calling all goth girlies – a signature red graphic tee.

And guess what? A split dress is all you need in this simple get-up.
The inverted V line can extend your legs visually and make you look taller even in sneakers.
You’re welcome!

11. Fingerless arm warmers for emo girls

Regardless of what you wear, these black and red striped print gloves can always boost your look more emo-ify tenfolds.
On the wild days, opt for these high-platform Converse boots that are bound to turn heads.
12. Emo school girl in dungarees
Who said dungarees are too childish to wear?

I don’t know about you but I will just copy this look from head to toe.
From the striped tee to the long silver necklace to Dr. Martin, I can wear this combo like a uniform.
13. High-platform boots
If you are looking for a pair of statement boots and instill a dose of cool factor into your otherwise plain school outfit, this pair below will do the trick.

I am loving the silver accent on this pair of boots.
Despite the chunky look, this pair is actually super lightweight (crazy right?!).
