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 .
With crocs right?
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?
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 :quality(75)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/elcomercio/RKOSFNANJ5C5BKVR5XLDWDHRSY.jpg)
had a very nice/cute style in Beef. He wore lots of oversized/soft looking clothes.
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.
I think my long hair makes me look cute without taking away from my masculinity.
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 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.
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.
You sound very cute

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:
- More use of color than normal (including unusual colored pants)
- Bow ties
- Suspenders
- Sweaters
- Sweater vests
Maybe not everyoneβs idea of cute male aesthetic, but it works for me.
