Soft Boy Aesthetic

Soft Boy aesthetic, a style so relaxed, subtle, and breezy. Soft Boy is an illustration of men who are interested in music, philosophy, poetry, and all things artsy. This always reminds me of Timothee chalamet and the wave in his hair. It’s a representation of guys wearing cardigans and a little disheveled hairstyle. But why is this side of men’s fashion gaining popularity? With the rise in popularity of K-drama, approval of this has increased dramatically, the K-Pop bands are a perfect guidebook to gain a soft boy look. This style is the antithesis of what is considered masculine in nature and is also adored for what it is. The new age influencers, gen z typically aces this style like no other. Celebrities like Harry Styles, Noah Centineo and Paul Rudd exude a soft-boy aura.
But How to nail this style?
Read to find out and buy to try it out.
Oversize Oversize Oversize
Ditch that tight-fitting bottoms and switch your style towards little baggy clothes. Like loose-fitting pants, and straight-fit jeans. Don’t go extravagant but add that extra layer when you want to style an ice-blue stripe shirt with a sweater or vest and the collar points peeking out. Add an overshirt in checkered print and you’re good to go.
Avoid too much popping of colors
This works best when the colors are picked properly. Go for that neutral hue- browns, latte, toned-down blues, and pinks. An earthy pastel palette is what you need. White sneaker and canvas Shoes works best with this.
The Morning Hair Mess
The key to having a win-win soft boy look is by keeping relaxed hair. The hairstyle changes the game, having a medium hair length with a little bit of texture completes the look.
Get The Look
Again, nothing new about this. The soft boy or soft man isn’t something that got developed recently, its components were there previously also. The reason it came onto the surface now is because of the awareness of toxic masculinity which created an inclination towards this sensitive side of men and fashion.
