Justin Bieber, Timothee Chalamet: The skinny white boy trend is back
The skinny white boy is having a moment, and we can do nothing to stop them now.
There are some trends you can’t stop once they’ve started, like tiny sunglasses that make everyone’s faces look comically huge, and wispy fringes.
Sure, you might roll your eyes at first but next thing you know you’ve spent $120 on a pair of sunglasses that look stupid on you and your fringe has suddenly lost all its bulk.
The worst part? You think you look better now.
I know the skinny white boy trend has taken over because suddenly the big bulky men don’t seem like the epitome of hotness anymore.
Instead Timothee Chalamet, Justin Bieber, Pete Davidson, Tom Holland and Machine Gun Kelly - these are our new sex symbols.
You know the type.
Tattoos, on the thinner side with a love for baggy clothes and looking slightly low in iron. I’m telling you that is the male beauty standard now.
This type of man is the one bagging the hottest women in the world right and it shows there has been a shift.
We love to talk about female beauty standards. Are big bums in? Or small ones? Is it all about the curves or being able to see your hip bones?
It’s a never-ending game where all women lose.
It’s less talked about, but men are exposed to the same kind of stuff. The tall, super fit and muscular guy was very in for years.
Well, now he isn’t.
It’s less about a man that looks like he lives at the gym and more about the man that looks like he vapes. A lot.
For years it was all about the classic handsome guy.
I’m talking about all the Hollywood Chris types. Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pine and even Chris Pratt.
It was the beefy guy that was all about lean muscle. Now it’s time for the skinny, ratty boy to shine.
Are you ready?
It first became apparent that there was a cultural shift when skinny-tattooed Pete Davidson started dating Ariana Grande in 2018. It was a surprise, she was the famous pop singer and he was the funny guy from Saturday Night Live that looked more goofy than classically handsome.
Still, it could have been a fluke – like when Courteney Cox married funny man David Arquette.
Yet pesky Pete’s bachelor king status rose even after Grande ditched him. He has gone on to date pretty much every ‘it’ girl since.
It all came to a head when he started dating sex symbol, reality television star and Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian in 2021.
That’s when I knew the times had officially shifted, and we had entered a scrawny and far less beefy era of hot men.
You can love or hate the Kardashians, but they reflect the culture. They helped make curves cool, and now they are leading the charge that being as thin as possible is the new aspiration.
Sure, they aren’t perfect but they are usually on point.
