It’s been seven years since America’s Next Top Model ended, but spiritually, we’re all still standing on that stage holding our breath with our girlies. Tyra’s legacy lives on — not just in fake fainting spells, ramen noodle weaves, or photo shoots so unhinged they’d get canceled today — but in the eternal wisdom of phrases like: go see outfit.
So, it’s no surprise the internet (read: TikTok) is resurrecting this iconic concept. But what actually is a Go See Outfit, and how do you nail one without getting eliminated from life’s casting call? Let’s break it down, smize-first.
What Is A Go See Outfit?
In ANTM and the modeling industry at large, a Go See Outfit is your walking business card — a look you wear to castings, go-sees, or industry meet-and-greets where you only have a few minutes to make a first impression. It’s gotta say: I’m memorable, versatile, hot, and yes, I could walk in Paris Fashion Week tomorrow.

Think: simple, chic, flattering. Nothing too flashy, but absolutely not giving “I didn’t try.” It’s the ultimate “I just threw this on and look amazing anyway” vibe that somehow took you 45 minutes and three mental breakdowns to put together.

And plot twist — it’s not just for models anymore. Regular girlies are using the “Go See Outfit” formula IRL. Whether it’s a first date, job interview, or bar crawl where your ex might show up, the rules still apply. It’s become a mindset. A lifestyle. A power move.
How To Nail Your Go See Outfit
Keep it streamlined
Clean lines, solid colors, zero distractions. Avoid wild logos or too-trendy pieces that scream I got this from the sale rack at Zara two hours ago. A monochrome moment (especially black) = always chic and secretly lazy.
Show off your shape
You want something fitted but not suffocating. The outfit should highlight your best features without looking like you’re about to bodycon your way into a club appearance. For example, my thic thighs feel best in wide-legged jeans, but my teeny top shows off the upstairs assets.
Classic with a twist
Think jeans + a fitted tank or tee, elevated with a cool jacket and killer shoes. Swap your dad sneakers for kitten heels, ballet flats, or a sleek boot. Simple, but make it fashion.
Keep accessories minimal
A Go See Outfit isn’t about being the main character because of your jewelry — it’s about being the main character in spite of it. Think dainty gold, small hoops, and glowy makeup that says “I have my life together” (especially if you don’t).
Add a pop of personality
Your Go See moment needs a little flair. Enter: the bag. This is where you shine. Go for a bold color, pattern, or texture. I personally carry a furry cow print handbag that stops strangers in the street — yes, this is a flex, and yes, it works every time.
Hair check
Keep it simple but intentional. A sleek pony, effortless waves, or a claw clip updo can all say “cool girl who knows what she’s doing,” depending on the vibe. Just avoid messy buns that scream “accidentally napped in this.”
Clean face
Obviously, wash your face and apply moisturizer, but I’m talking about after that. Avoid wearing a heavy makeup look as this will detract from the Go See effect. Aim for whatever makes your skin look good, some brows, and a dash of mascara.
Rock dat body
There’s a misconception that Go See outfits are only for skinny girls with small tits — NOPE. Every type of body deserves a Go See Outfit and will look so hot in it. Take inspiration from the stunning TikTok user Emma Campbell for this one.
Confidence is the secret accessory
CRINGE WARNING, SORRY. Ultimately, the best Go See outfit works because you work it. The look should make you stand a little taller, walk a little hotter, and feel like you’re in your own rom-com montage. Channel your inner ANTM finalist and remember: don’t let anyone dull your smize.
