Okay, so, I’ve been seeing this “clean girl” thing all over my feed lately, and you know I had to try it. Here’s what happened.
First, I gathered some inspo. I scrolled through tons of pictures, you know, the usual, just to get a feel for the vibe. It’s all about looking polished, but not like you tried too hard. Think simple, basic stuff, but make it chic.
Next, I raided my closet. I pulled out all my neutral pieces – whites, blacks, beiges, you get the idea. I have this white, oversized button-down that I thought would be perfect. I also grabbed a pair of black trousers, the ones that fit just right, not too tight, not too loose.

- Some gold jewelry
Then came the fun part – putting it all together. I tucked the shirt into the trousers, but like, just a little in the front. I rolled up the sleeves a bit, trying to make it look effortless, you know? Then I added a thin gold necklace and some small gold hoops. Simple, but it makes a difference.
For my hair, I just slicked it back into a low bun. I used some gel to make it look sleek, not messy. And for makeup, I kept it super minimal. A little concealer, some brow gel, and a swipe of lip balm. That’s it. No heavy foundation or anything like that.
Honestly, I felt pretty good. It’s not my usual style, but I can see why people like it. It’s comfy, it’s easy, and you look put together without doing too much. I walked around, did my errands, and I felt like I had my life together, even though I definitely don’t. It is just a nice try.
So, would I do it again? Maybe. It’s a nice change of pace, and it’s perfect for those days when you want to look good but don’t want to spend hours getting ready. If you’re thinking about trying the clean girl aesthetic, I say go for it. It’s easier than you think.
