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 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:

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.

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.

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.

Shorts!

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 everyone’s idea of cute male aesthetic, but it works for me.
