You’ve got two moods: One side of you wants dewy skin, slick hair, and a fresh white tank top. The other side wants to stomp into the club in platform boots, low-rise cargos, and a rhinestone top that says brat. Why choose? You can be both.
Welcome to the era of the Clean Girl x 2000s Baddie aesthetic—aka the it-girl formula for 2025.
Here’s how to mix these two viral styles into one fire look.
1. Keep the Base Clean & Sleek
Start with the Clean Girl core:
- White or neutral tank tops
- Crisp baby tees
- Ribbed basics
- Oversized blazers in beige, white, or slate
Hair tip: Go for a slick-back bun or claw clip moment.
Makeup: Think glowy skin, brushed brows, and glossy lips.
Dainty Picks: Vintage ribbed tanks and cropped cardis from the 90s—classic, but with edge.
2. Add a Baddie Statement Piece
Here’s where you turn the volume up:
- Rhinestone crop top
- Velour zip-up
- Low-rise cargo pants
- Micro mini with a chain belt
It’s all about the contrast—clean on top, drama on the bottom (or vice versa).
Style tip: A nude tank + baggy parachutes + heels = chef’s kiss.
3. Mix Neutrals with Pop Colours
Keep your palette mostly clean: white, taupe, black, grey.
Then throw in a bold baddie color:
- Hot pink bag
- Lime green shades
- Red platform shoes
- Baby blue velour jacket
Clean girl gives the calm, baddie brings the pop.
4. Don’t Be Afraid of Accessories
The Clean Girl will tell you to keep it simple—but the 2000s baddie wants bling:
- Layered silver chains
- Butterfly clips
- Statement earrings
- Tiny sparkly bags
Balance it: Go minimal on one part of the outfit and heavy on another. Always keep one piece loud.
5. Confidence Is the Secret Ingredient
This hybrid aesthetic isn’t just about mixing looks—it’s about attitude. You’re cool, composed, and unbothered—but you’re also here to make a statement.
That’s what makes the combo so powerful.
