How to Channel Into the “Clean Girl” Aesthetic From on Social Media

With social media, trends and different aesthetics have come and gone. We have seen the “cottagecore” aesthetic, “gothcore”, hippie trends, and so many more for people to try out! One popular aesthetic that has stuck around for a while is the “clean girl” aesthetic. The clean girl aesthetic focuses on simplistic and polished style. The girls who achieve the “clean girl” look are minimalists when it comes to beauty and fashion. These are the girls with dewey, glowing makeup, basic colors in their style, and look effortless chic all of the time. Her closet is filled with the basics, comfortable and sophisticated clothing and she focuses on bettering herself through healthy diets, workout routines, and nightly skincare rituals.

There are many easy ways to achieve the “clean girl” aesthetic, through hairstyles, jewelry, clothing, and so much more! The simplest, and probably the quickest, way to obtain this aesthetic is through clothing. Even though most of the style includes a more polished and sophisticated look, the best part about the style is that it is easily obtainable. To begin with, the basic t-shirts and tank tops should be a part of your closet. Matching the basics with a pair of office pants or linen shorts is a perfect way to create an outfit.

Another great way to style this look is pairing workout clothing with clean, crisp button downs. This is the most comfortable and casual option. For more fancy looks, silk slip dresses or maxi skirts is the way to go. The best thing to remember when achieving this style is to pair basic, sleek silhouettes with breathable pieces. Also, a neutral color palette of whites and beiges are great to pair with a pop of color, like sage green or pastel blues and pinks!

The second way to achieve the “clean girl” aesthetic is to focus on sleek hairstyles to continue with the “polished look”. Wearing specific outfits is only half way to achieving the look! Having the right hairstyles can go a long way. Usually, the popular hairstyle for this aesthetic is to have the signature Hailey Bieber look: a slicked back bun. Ponytails, braids, and putting your hair up in a clip are other options that make the hairstyle look effortless and chic.

The third way to achieve the full “clean girl” look is to pick out the right jewelry. Usually to keep up with the chic and sophisticated look, pair your outfits with gold chunky jewelry. For earrings, a simple pair of pearl earrings or medium sized gold hoops will work perfectly. It is also a good idea to layer some gold necklaces with different textures, and add some dainty gold

rings into the mix. An extra bit of advice: get a simple manicure, with white, beige or light pink colors. A french tip design is also a great way to add a bit extra to the chic, polish aesthetic!

Moving onto the last ways to achieve is through makeup and skincare. Most makeup trends for this aesthetic focus on a natural, glowing look. This means brushed out eyebrows, minimal eyeshadow, lots of eyeshadow, and blush on the cheeks and nose for a “sunkissed” look. As for skincare, this can focus on face and mud masks, under eye patches and a lot of sunscreen and moisturizer.

Overall, the “clean girl” aesthetic focuses on looking your best and feeling your best. While it centers around dressing a certain way, it highlights taking care of yourself and living a healthy lifestyle. This can be through skincare, eating healthier, and working out. It can also focus on self-growth, meditation and becoming the best version of yourself! Even though the “clean girl” aesthetic can be achieved through physical aspects, the most polished version of yourself focuses around being your happiest, and glowing from the inside-out!
