worn

Hi teachers,
Could you please help me understand the meaning of the words and phrase in bold type in the sentences below:

"Why must men look strong and worn? Why should women look gentle and modest? Through style, I want to stand out in the crowd and to show I am not like others."

"More than just following their idols, Hoang argues that many young women find strength and drive in this newfound flexibility, while men embrace a softer, more subtle and elegant look"

Thank you in advance
