For GTK3 applications with Xfce, you must install x11-themes/gnome-themes-standard and change value of /Net/ThemeName property:

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName \
-t string -s Adwaita

Or install x11-themes/clearlooks-phenix-theme (GTK and xfwm4 themes).

Since GTK 3.10, new widgets have been added, especially GtkPopover, GtkFlowBox, GtkActionBar and GtkHeaderBar, which are not well displayed with GTK2 theme.

In Xfce repository, we are ready to replace current default icon theme by misc/gnome-icon-theme.
It won't be x11-themes/adwaita-icon-theme, because Thunar and some specific Xfce's widgets still use stock icons (these are macros in GTK toolkit) which are deprecated since GTK 3.10 and not available in this icon theme.
