If you get most of your fashion advice from TikTok, then you've probably heard about the clean-girl-aesthetic trend. Though the name is a bit odd, it's all about minimalism and understated sophistication. Picture street style shots of your favorite model in between runway shows or on her morning coffee run.

To nail the look, mix and match timeless, versatile pieces like ribbed white tank tops, oversize blazers, and faded, relaxed-fit denim. Simple dresses in neutral colors also work. But the clothes are only half the battle: Styling is important to the clean girl aesthetic, too. Pair your outfit with dainty gold jewelry, dewy makeup, and a sleek pony or slicked back bun to really nail the look.

We took the liberty of putting together a style guide for this utterly chic trend. Keep reading to find all the core pieces you need to try the clean girl aesthetic on for yourself.
