Sexy men/masculine looks are about as easy to find as for women/feminine looks, but cute seems a little less obvious.
I really doubt it’s due to a lack of interest from folks, but 🤷♀️
I think my long hair makes me look cute without taking away from my masculinity.
I find colorful/funny tennis socks really cute. Even regular white ones with like a stripe or two of different color/small drawing are good enough. Couple them with shorts as the other user mentioned and some casual t-shirt/hoodie and you’ll easily achieve cute rather then edgy look.
I'm rocking that look 50 weeks a year and reading your comment made my day.
Happy to hear that! :)
About a year ago I threw out all my grey / plain socks and but bunch of good quality ones that are all different colors and have various animals on them . Currently rocking one shark sock and one eagle sock and a blink 182 shirt with a cat with lazer eyes . I’m almost 32 lol .
Perhaps pair them with patterned shorts or shorts with silly messages for something between cute and uh…However you might describe folks with booty short messaging?
With crocs right?
I think many male idols in kpop manage to pull off cute very well. Taemin from shinee for example.
This was my first thought.
I was really worried about not looking cute and looking too “tough” since I started buzzing off all my hair due to baldness. But I think it’s been ok. I wear dark thick framed glasses, and a lot of light or pastel colored clothes. I keep a VERY short beard, just to give me some fuzz and distract away from my head. And I smile a lot.
I’ve also started shopping for cute hats. It’s been tricky to find hat styles that I really like, but I’ve found some cute ones.
I always think my husband is cute, especially when he first wakes up and is still a bit groggy. It’s the disheveled hair that gets me.
Shorts!
I was told to avoid “dad shorts”. XD Loose fitting, with a belt, sometimes with cargo pockets…
Would that style be more cute or less cute than an alternative?
I mean… Who are you trying to impress or attract? I’m probably in a different demographic at my age and place in life but who gives a shit about what kind of shorts I wear, I wonder…
What about short shorts? I’ve been wearing some 3” inseam workout shorts and idk if those are any better lmao
Depends entirely on the brand of cute. Some people think nerdy guys are cute. Some people think feminine boys are cute. Some people think guys with broccoli hair are cute.
It really depends.
As for what I like, oversized hoodies with cozy graphics on them, eyeliner, retro shorts (“booty shorts”), longer socks or thigh socks, super fluffy hair (look up “wolf cut”) or long hair, piercings, nail polish, lots of color. Those always are cute on a guy in my opinion.
First thing that came to mind was Blaine from Glee. I looked through some pictures and some of the things that stood out that make his style seem cute include:
Maybe not everyone’s idea of cute male aesthetic, but it works for me.
I would argue that Lewis Hamilton is cute.
I’m a man, I don’t need to be cute

I’m not entirely sure if this is the kind of thing you are talking about but I find something about sweaters / cardigans / sweater vests seem to lend themselves to a more cute look. To an extent I think so do things that might be considered nerdy like button up shirts / glasses / suspenders. Also colors that are usually considered more feminine but styled in a masculine way like pinks and purples.
Some sweater examples tv/celeb/animation:

Piggybacking on this I think George Nakai had a very nice/cute style in Beef

I was thinking this too. Autumny looks can lend themselves really well to cuteness.

One of the reasons I prefer the colder months. It’s so much easier for me to look nice in warm clothes. Layers tend to be eye catching, and it’s nearly impossible to layer up in the summer months here without nearly expiring from heat exhaustion.

Hmm, I’m not too into the sweater look personally, but I see what you mean! The sweater vest in particular reminded me that a good vest (sweater or otherwise) can be a versatile option for falling somewhere on the range of cute and/or sexy.
