Styling the 'Clean Girl' Aesthetic
What is the ‘clean girl’ aesthetic?
In the world of fashion, simplicity often speaks volumes and the clean girl has spoken. The ‘clean girl’ aesthetic is characterised by a minimalist approach to fashion, that is effortlessly chic and highly put together. It centres around basic capsule pieces, lightly accessorised with refined jewellery and understated accents. With a vibe so stylish yet so comfy, the clean girl aesthetic is giving off-duty model in all the best ways. Fortunately for us, achieving the clean girl look can be just as effortless as the look itself, by following a few key styling tips.
Tip #1: What are the essentials of the ‘clean girl’ aesthetic?
Picture this: a closet filled with staples that make getting dressed a breeze! Start by investing in timeless, high-quality pieces to build your ‘clean girl’ capsule wardrobe. This should embrace clean lines and classic silhouettes, so be sure to include plenty of basic tops and well-fitted trousers. After all, the vibe is comfortable yet chic! As for colour choice, the clean girl look is all about refined natural beauty, so opt for neutral hues and muted colour palettes such as beige, cream, and khaki. Not sure where to begin looking?

Tip #2: How to elevate your ‘clean girl’ look with jewellery?
Now, let’s talk bling! Clean girl accessories are all about those little touches that take your look from simple to stunning in seconds. How do you achieve this? Three words: Subtle. Gold. Jewellery. The ultimate upgrade to any clean girl outfit is subtle gold jewellery and refined accents to really tie the look together. These accents should be classic but captivating, sometimes layered but never stacked, and the perfect complement to your outfit. Whether it's a dainty gold necklace embellishing your neckline or chunky gold hoops, the key lies in creating an element of subtle sophistication. Your jewellery shouldn’t boldly overpower but rather subtly enhance your look, adding a touch of allure and charm. In that case, we recommend swapping the vintage statement accessories for dainty pieces that exude understated elegance. Luckily, we have just the thing for you…pearls! Our stunning Ode to Pearls jewellery collection is the epitome of simplicity and timeless beauty, showcasing perfectly delicate gold pieces adorned with unique freshwater pearls. Pick your favourites (or love ‘em all) and take your clean girl ensemble to the next level!
