The Ultimate Guide To Achieving A Trendy Soft Girl Aesthetic

For soft girl clothes and accessories, it's time to raid your closet for anything pink — but a few other unexpected items, too. As per CNN, your soft girl wardrobe should include oversized clothing: we're talking big sweaters that can be worn as dresses (à la Ariana Grande), baggy pants worn with tiny crop tops, big cloud-like sneakers, and trucker jackets worn over dresses. Not everything is pink either, with soft girls loving other pastels like buttery yellow, sky blue, pistachio green, and lilac.

Explained by Cosmopolitan, soft girls have a "dreamy and romantic vibe," with Instagram photos ranging from nostalgic picnics, to sparkly selfies, to pink sunset beach photos (even if still wearing baggy jeans and a crochet top). But this aesthetic is cut-up by chunky, surprising accessories so it's not too sugary either — this style is truly the mid-point between sweet and sour (and we love it!). Pair your cloudy-pink outfits with edgy, slightly goth items: chunky boots like signature platform Doc Martens, "Sex and the City"-style baguette bags in black or neon, or unique sunglasses to make your look stand out even more.

Soft girls are all about accessories, so try out gold chain necklaces with words like "babygirl" and "angel," or jewelry with butterflies, crosses, or locks (via Aesthetically Chic Beauty). Pile on all the barrettes, or try jelly chokers, scrunchies, or towel-material bucket hats. For prints, you need some plaid, and yes, lots of sweet florals.
