#1 Soft Girl Aesthetics to Try Now: Slow Down
One of the most appealing aspects of embracing your “soft girl era” is the opportunity to slow down. This applies to every aspect of life—taking the time to be intentional about everything you do. From the moment you wake up to the time you go to bed, every action is approached with care.
The benefit of slowing down is that everything is executed with great attention to detail, often reaching a level of perfectionism. And why not? You have all the time in the world. There’s no need to rush through life anymore; you can focus on the quality of your work and approach everything with precision and care.
# 2 Tap Into Your Femininity
Before we dive deeper into the list of Soft Girl Aesthetics, let’s take a moment to explore how to find your inner femininity. The fundamental instincts of being female are already within you. It doesn’t matter if you identify as a tomboy, were raised in a more masculine environment, or if your natural tendencies are more masculine; that’s perfectly okay! In fact, I have another article on tapping into your dark feminine powers, which emphasizes embracing your more masculine side as well.

To tap into your femininity, you need to let your guard down, allow yourself to feel deeply, embrace your female driven needs, and allow your unique self to shine through, and dress to your moods and whims.
#3 Embrace Your Delicate Side
Embracing your delicate side begins with recognizing that you have one, and understanding that it is not a negative trait to be fragile. Females often possess a heightened intuition about themselves, others, and the world around them. We are precious beings, typically careful and deliberate in our actions.
To connect with your delicate side, don’t shy away from your emotions; embrace them. Allow yourself to be vulnerable. Make a conscious effort to be gentle and soft, whether in your voice or actions. Additionally, you can express your femininity by dressing elegantly, laughing often, trusting others, learning to let go, and taking care of yourself.
#4 Speak in a Delicate and Intentional Tone
To manifest a life filled with ease, peace, and patience, we must be mindful of our tone when speaking. Honestly, I’m not always the most patient person, even though I frequently hear people asking me how I can appear so patient all the time. The truth is, I’m not—at least not in my mind. I have to consciously make an effort to speak in a slow and controlled manner.
Additionally, those who embody the “soft girlie” lifestyle aim to live with ease, deliberately rejecting a previous, hustle-driven mindset. When you’re not feeling stressed, it’s much easier to maintain a calm, positive, and gentle tone with yourself and others.
#5 Dress Girlie
Dressing in a girly style is one of my favorite ways to enhance your soft girl aesthetics. This approach allows you to showcase your ultra-feminine and delicate side. While it’s important to stay true to your unique style for authenticity, stepping outside your comfort zone to try new things can be a rewarding experience if you’re not used to dressing girly.
The good news is that soft girl aesthetics focus on comfort, aligning with a philosophy of living with ease. After all, you may find it hard to be patient, calm, and soft-spoken if you’re feeling uncomfortable in what you wear.
To align your wardrobe with a soft girl aesthetic, consider incorporating these items:
- Chunky knit sweaters
- Oversized sweaters
- Granny square cardigans
- Fluffy 3-D knits
- Pastel colors and other light shades (especially buttercup yellow, baby blue, and pastel pink)
- Y2K-inspired fashion
- Anime-themed clothing
- 1990s-inspired styles
- Nostalgic prints featuring cute animals, flowers, and hearts
These elements can help you embrace and express your soft girl aesthetic more fully.
#6 Embrace Feminine Hobbies
#6 Embrace feminine hobbies
Soft girls always have soft girl hobbies to do. These hobbies help to keep a body and mind calm and at ease while living this slower-paced lifestyle.
But if your granny never taught you how to knit or crotchet, don’t worry; there are plenty of soft girl hobbies. Look at this list and see if these soft girl hobbies sound appealing.
- drawing
- flower arranging
- knitting
- cooking
- gardening
- photography
- dance
- jewelry making
- pottery
- reading
- Yoga
- Horseback riding
- sewing
- playing an instrument
These hobbies will help you connect with your more feminine side and help you become more delicate and exude soft girl energy.
#7 Create Feminine Routines
Create Feminine Routines
Soft girls do not value the grind of getting ahead. That can create too much stress and doesn’t evoke a sense of relaxing and living in the moment. However, they do prioritize slow living and self-care. To achieve self-care, there are a few routines that you can put into place without being overly strategic or goal-focused.
For instance, try a morning routine that involves sipping tea, journaling, wearing a face mask, and wearing your fluffiest socks. The next day, have coffee while watching the sun rise in your yoga clothes, and you will have a little yoga session after you’re done drinking your coffee… The point is to create a more flexible routine that isn’t strict on the order or process of things.
#8 Educate Yourself on the Art of Being Female
Soft girlies are never, ever done practicing honing in on being female; they are unapologetically feminine. Don’t forget, practice makes perfect!
So go ahead, immerse yourself in the journey of understanding the complexities and nuances of being a woman. Educate yourself on the experiences, strengths, and challenges that shape femininity, and make it a lifelong endeavor to cultivate and refine these skills. Always seek opportunities for growth and self-improvement in this art. Sitting in a chair and slowly reading is a soft girl habit. Some of my favorites books or YouTube channels on the subject matter are in the category of the French Way of Living, or French Female Habits.
#9 Caring for Others
Caring for others is often associated with a “soft girl” persona, as it involves tapping into one’s nurturing instincts. You don’t need to be a mother to possess these instincts. Many feminine individuals find joy in helping and nurturing others. Engaging in this caring behavior can lead to a sense of well-being. Even if you don’t want to label it as maternal instincts, soft girls typically aim to embody qualities like sensitivity, tenderness, and sweetness.
So go ahead and practice caring for others and tapping into your primitive instincts to help and care for those in need. You can also practice caring for pets, and plants to fulfill this soft girl need.
#10 Decorate in a Feminine Way
Soft girl fashion, along with interior and exterior design, is my favorite way to incorporate a feminine vibe into everyday life. There are countless ways to add a touch of femininity to your surroundings, and you have complete control over how much of this aesthetic you want to embrace, whether indoors or outdoors.
One of the easiest ways to achieve a soft girl look is by creating a ‘blooming’ aesthetic. Here are some simple interior items that can enhance a soft girl vibe:
- Mirrors
- Florals
- Fur
- Fluffy textures
- Frills
- Lace
- Textured materials (such as silk, sateen, fur, or 3-D crocheted items)
- Tapestries
- Soft bedding
- Patterns (like gingham, stripes, and polka dots)
Achieving a soft girl aesthetic outdoors is just as straightforward. Consider adding floral arrangements, plants, soft neutral colors, and textures such as painted brick to enhance your exterior spaces.
