The Hair
If you’re wanting to get the soft boy aesthetic down really well, you need to start with the hair.

Accessories

From large Cuban link chains to round glasses. You don’t want these accessories to be overwhelming and gaudy – you want them to compliment your overall style and be somewhat subtle.
