The aesthetic of the Peggy Noland brand has been described as "white trash meets high class". Her aesthetic is commonly referred to{{by whom|date=July 2019}} as a mixed style of meth addicts from her hometown in Independence, Missouri combined with an eccentric, Parisian old-lady. She is notorious for taking corporate logos and morphing them into an art form of their own. Her belief in consumerism and branding has led to a "mix of LA pop art and KC gutter-punk".

Her work uses bright colors, full-body leotards and patterns.{{cite news|url=http://www.pitch.com/2007-07-19/calendar/star-designer/|title=Star Designer|last=Wiebe|first=Crystal K.|date=25 July 2007|work=The Pitch|accessdate=28 February 2010|location=Kansas City|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090703214937/http://www.pitch.com/2007-07-19/calendar/star-designer/|archivedate=3 July 2009}} Her designs have been worn by several musicians, including Rihanna, Miley Cyrus,{{cite web|last1=Davis|first1=Allison|title=Oprah: Skinny, Naked, and Screaming on Your Dress|url=http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/11/oprah-skinny-naked-screaming-on-your-dress.html|website=The Cut|date=November 14, 2013 |accessdate=March 28, 2015}} Lovefoxxx from Brazilian band CSS,{{cite news|url=http://www.pitch.com/2007-05-10/news/dress-you-up/|title=Dress You Up|date=9 May 2007|work=The Pitch|accessdate=28 February 2010|location=Kansas City|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20130131151458/http://www.pitch.com/kansascity/dress-you-up/Content?oid=2185226|archivedate=31 January 2013|url-status=dead}} Kianna Alarid from the Omaha, Nebraska band Tilly and the Wall, Fischerspooner, Chicks on Speed and The Ssion.

She is known for her distinctive hairstyles, which have changed over the years. Early in her career, the hair was shaved on top, while leaving the back and sides long. Before 2013, she had the sides and back shaved, wearing long hair on top. From 2013 until 2017, she only shaved the top bald, most times completely smooth with a razor.{{cite web|last1=Peters|first1=John|title=Peggy Noland: Popping Off|url=http://www.thefader.com/2013/11/04/peggy-noland-interview-designer|website=Fader|accessdate=March 28, 2015}}
