⁠Everything you need to start your clean girl aesthetic era

The "clean girl aesthetic" has taken over social media, and for good reason. This trend is all about simplicity, minimalism, and an overall effortless chic look. Picture glowing skin, natural make-up, and a vibe that says, "I woke up like this." But the aesthetic is not just about a skincare routine—it extends to your wardrobe, accessories, and even your daily essentials. If you're ready to embrace this laid-back yet polished look, here's everything you'll need to kick-start your clean-girl aesthetic era.

Outfit

The clean girl aesthetic thrives on simple, minimalist clothing that feels fresh and relaxed, but still looks put-together. Think neutral colours—white, beige, soft pastels, and muted tones—paired with classic, versatile pieces like high-waisted pants, oversized sweaters, fitted tanks, and sleek leggings.

Footwear

Footwear is all about comfort with a hint of style. Clean girl aesthetics call for shoes that are functional but still make a statement. Look for minimalist styles like classic white sneakers or easy slip-on. Comfortable sandals or slides also fit perfectly into the vibe, offering that laid-back, no-fuss look that is key to the aesthetic.

Minimal accessories

In the clean girl aesthetic, the motto is simple: less is more. This means steering clear of bold, statement-making jewellery and opting for delicate, subtle pieces that add a touch of elegance without stealing the show. Small gold hoops, simple necklaces, and tiny rings are perfect examples of accessories that contribute to this minimalist approach.

Skincare girly

No "skincare girly" vibe is complete without a solid routine. Face masks, sheet masks, lip balms, and moisturizers are key to achieving that fresh, glowing complexion. Face masks—whether hydrating, purifying, or cooling—give your skin extra TLC while offering a moment to unwind. Add a nourishing lip balm for smooth, soft lips and finish with a lightweight moisturizer to lock in hydration.
