It’s time to embrace your femininity this summer
Still worried about what to wear to welcome the summer heat? Don’t fret! We’ve got just the trend for you. This summer, try dressing romantically in the now trending ‘Girlcore’ style — a new manner of dressing that emphasises self-expression and feminine elements. Whether you’re a minimalist or a maximalist, this new style encourages fashionistas to embrace their feminine charm.
What is ‘Girlcore’?
Drawing inspiration from Barbie-core and ballet aesthetics, ‘Girlcore’ exudes a dreamy, sweet and elegant look that focuses on girlish aesthetics. Whether it’s tulle, lace, ribbons or florals, these are the key elements that fashion darlings add to refine their ‘Girlcore’ aesthetics — emphasising the delicate beauty of women.
Here’s how to incorporate ‘Girlcore’ into your outfits:
Opt For Low-saturation Colours
All you need to do to achieve this style is opt for a soft colour palette that creates a dreamy and romantic vibe. Tones such as blush pink, baby blue and lavender are some of the ideal colours to choose from. Neutral tones like ivory or beige can also be incorporated to balance and complement the soft shades.
Dress in Soft Tulle Fabric
Wearing tulle with ethereal quality creates a light and dreamy atmosphere for the whole look. Look for pieces with delicate details such as lace or subtle embellishments to enhance the romantic feel.
Feature Ribbon Details
Ribbons are one of the key elements of ‘Girlcore’ that can bring a playful and youthful vibe to any outfit. There are many different ways to incorporate ribbons into your outfit, such as using them as a hair accessory or choosing an outfit that features ribbon details.
Choose Girlie Shoes
Complete your ‘Girlcore’ look with a pair of stylish shoes that complement the soft and feminine aesthetic. Shoes like ballet flats or Mary Jane are the perfect choice. The trendy ballet-style sneakers are also a great option — a sartorial piece that combines girly elements such as ribbons, lace and ballet pointe shoes. But, don’t forget to prioritise comfort and style to ensure your shoes allow you to move with grace and confidence.
