Staple Wardrobe Pieces to Achieve the Clean Girl Aesthetic

The clean girl aesthetic may have gotten co-opted by TikTok creators more recently, but let’s give credit where credit’s due. Glowy skin, slicked-back buns, shiny glossed lips and neutral basics have been staples in the Black, Hispanic and Latinx communities forever. 

When it comes to apparel, the clean girl aesthetic focuses on elevated basics. Here’s a bit about the trend taking over social media — and some athleisure clean girl aesthetic clothes you can find online and in-store at Hibbett | City Gear.

What is the Clean Girl Aesthetic?

While it’s gained plenty of traction in “get ready with me” videos, the clean girl aesthetic is just that — a trend creators are embracing. Neat buns or ponytails, no-makeup makeup looks with glowy skin, a hint of blush, full, natural-looking brows and simple jewelry are all part of the style. And then there are the clothes —  a cream, solid-colored tee matched with leggings and shoes in the same tone or a khaki-colored sports bra under a brown blazer paired with light-wash denim …   You get the idea. 

All About That Beige (’Bout That Beige)

Beige is anything but bland. Own it, whatever “it” may be, in an outfit featuring a silky beige cropped polo top, oversized high-rise joggers and Nike Air Max Dawn shoes that include off-white and shimmery appointments. Add a Nike backpack to the fit in a slightly darker tan tone, and pop on a pair of small gold hoops. Spray on your favorite skin-like perfume scent, slick your hair into a bun and get on with your day.

Shades of Pale

Trendy yet effortless (and comfy) is the name of the game here, whether you’re strolling across campus, standing in a crowd during a concert or spending the day at home. Embrace the look of off-white French terry adidas shorts paired with a white luxe crop top. Amplify this curve-hugging look with a simple gold chain and white Air Force 1s. Twist your hair into a gold claw clip, and swipe on a plumping lip gloss.

Your Perfect Peach … or Pink

Cop all the color and vibrancy of a fresh-picked springtime bouquet from the farmer’s market… and with a streamlined silhouette to boot. Create a killer fit (as catchy as SZA’s “Kill Bill” lyrics) with a blush-colored bandeau cropped top, an oversized, unbuttoned linen or cotton shirt and pastel pink Nike fleece joggers to match. Paint your nails with nude or pearly pink polish, and add a subtle charm bracelet to the ensemble.
