In Brazilian culture, appearance and grooming are generally valued, so 'untidy look' can be considered negative in formal contexts. However, the deliberate 'untidy look' or 'messy chic' aesthetic has gained popularity in fashion and creative industries as a sign of artistic authenticity. In American contexts, especially among younger generations, the untidy look may be intentionally cultivated as an anti-establishment or bohemian statement.
