Why Bad Boy Style Is Usually Cheesy
About this video
Weston critiques the ‘bad boy’ aesthetic trend in menswear, arguing that it’s outdated, unstylish, and inauthentic. She explains why adopting a well-rounded, versatile wardrobe that reflects genuine personality is more attractive and effective than conforming to a generic tough-guy image.
Key takeaways
