Villain aesthetic is also known as Villain vibes or Villaincore aesthetic. It is a cool aesthetic that encompasses being yourself and doing everything in your power to get what you want, by any means necessary.
Villain, as a term, first appeared in English during the mid-15th century. It’s derived from the French vilain, which first appeared in the 12th century. Both words come from the Latin villanus, meaning “farmhand.”
A villain is typically defined as a character who commits an act that is morally wrong. In literature, this generally means that the antagonist—the character who opposes the protagonist—is a villain. In real life, it means any criminal or unethical person. Famous villains include Ursula in Little Mermaid, Cruella & Maleficent in Disney.
In recent years, though, many people have begun using “villains” to refer to anyone who makes them feel bad or uncomfortable. For example, if your friend’s boyfriend is rude to you, you might refer to him as a villain. Or if your boss made you cry at work today, she might be a villain in your mind.

You may also add details in colors of pink, white, gold and blue for highlight.

How to do Villain aesthetic makeup?
Villains usually have dark circles under their eyes because they don’t sleep much; this makes them look tired all the time!
Dark lipstick or dark lip liner is also common for Villain aesthetics for both males and females, often worn over bare lips.
Villains of both sexes will often use makeup, but with different effects than you might expect. Villain men will use eyeshadow in deep shades of red and blue, while villain women will sometimes go without any makeup at all so as not to distract from their understated beauty.
Some villains also enjoy wearing black thick eyeliner that goes above the eyelid and out to the temple in a dramatic line. The upper eye line is usually thicker than the lower eye line, which tends to be smudged. Often accompanied by heavy mascara or false lashes.
What accessories to wear with Villain outfits?
For women, the villain look is all about dark colors and flowing fabrics. You can accessorize your black dress with red accents and a high-necked collar.
This look is perfect for a dramatic entrance if you’re attending a comic con or party. Pair it with dramatic makeup and some sinister accessories, such as red hair clips, a black choker necklace, and red gloves.
For men, the villain look is all about the color scheme and accessories, think white blazer, black slacks, red gloves. This look can be paired with just about any shirt or tie combo to create your own villainous style. Pair it with a red bow tie, gold wrist cuff and black fedora hat to round out your outfit.
How to style a casual men’s villain aesthetic?
Other than wearing Medival, concept or fantasy Villain-themed outfits for cosplay for Halloween costumes, you can also wear the villain in an easy, modern and casual way.
Villain men tend to wear suits, no matter where they are in the world or what their social class is. Suits are classic, and they give the impression that the villain has a lot of money, power, and knowledge. They typically wear suits in dark colors (black or navy) with a bright tie to add a pop of color to the outfit.
For men, we’re seeing a lot of leather jackets and vests paired with tight jeans and cowboy boots. We’re also seeing a lot of black turtlenecks—it’s not just for nerds anymore! And keep an eye out for classic hats like top hats, fedoras, or bandanas.
How to style a casual women’s villain aesthetic?
Women villains are getting a little more frilly this year—think flowy skirts and silky dresses paired with pointy-toed shoes. And don’t forget your hat! Hats are very popular in villain fashion right now. We’re also seeing a lot of makeup with bold eyeshadows, dramatic eyeliner, blood-red lipstick, and even fake scars.
Villain women tend to wear whatever they want because they tend to be powerful enough that they don’t have to worry about being taken seriously. Some of them don’t even wear clothes at all! When they do wear clothes, though, it’s often either fancy dresses or something functional like combat gear. A common theme among villain women is that they like to wear sleek lingerie under their outfits.
