If you put these guys in a polo and board shorts, they wouldn't get a second glance. They are bad boys. This makes them sexy.
I have to say, I am an expert on the bad boys. I can't get enough.
Your look should, above all, say "I don't care." Leave your hair unwashed, your beard unshaven. You are too busy being a criminal and delinquent and tortured soul to bother with hygiene.
Get some band t-shirts. Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin are good choices for beginners. Shop at thrift stores. Carry an old, janky phone. Bad boys never have money. Wear aviators. Wear black motorcyle boots or converse. Make sure your jeans are tight, but not so tight that it looks intentional.
Get a leather jacket and run over it with your car a couple times. Get a tattoo. Wear scarves or hats, but nothing too flashy or trendy. Bad boys don't even know what the trends are. They are too busy being criminals and drug addicts and playing in a band.
Oh and out of context, Brad Pitt's look in that picture does not say bad boy. It says 1970's tennis instructor. And I personally think long hair says bad boy far more than a shaved head.

Actually did the whole stubble > Belt poking out/showing > Oopen shirt > sleeves rolled up > vest thing yesterday, funnily enough... one chick told me she imagines I'm a drug dealer!
An interesting thing is... you can always dress different, to your character, as it creates a contrast and can give you more options.
For example, if you're a ncice guy, but are sporting the bad boy look... you get all the benefits of your nice guy side, while your 'look' gives you an 'edge' to help you seem a little more dangerous.
I dressed in a long fitted grey coat and bowla hat once, thought it'd look stupid on me, but it drew out my cheekiness, I probably could have gotten away with literally anything wearing that.
Try loads of different styles out, you'll be surprised at what ones do what to your character. Don't have to buy them, just go to the store and try them on.
