lumbersexuals
Urban woodsman aesthetic
Lumbersexuals are urban men who adopt the rugged aesthetic of outdoor laborers—full beards, flannel shirts, work boots—without actually working in trades or wilderness.
The term blends lumberjack with metrosexual, suggesting careful grooming disguised as rustic masculinity: The coffee shop was full of lumbersexuals with perfectly trimmed beards.
