On Wednesdays, we wear pink (another movie, but oh so relevant). The Barbiecore trend is taking over the world and we’re here to help you incorporate this new playful style into your life. With the launch of the Barbie movie in July, brands have embraced the hype and you can find this upbeat style in shops everywhere.
First, what is Barbiecore?
If you’re a fan of bright colours, sparkly textures, and feminine details, you might want to jump on the Barbiecore trend. Barbiecore is a style of fashion and aesthetic that takes inspiration from the iconic Barbie doll, featuring shades of pink, pastel blue and purple, as well as shiny and sparkly textures like glitter and sequins. Ruffles, bows, and lace are often incorporated into the look, creating a playful and flirty vibe.
But Barbiecore isn’t just limited to fashion. It also encompasses interior design, art and social media content. The overall aesthetic is upbeat, fun and unapologetically feminine, celebrating all things girly and playful.
The term “Barbiecore” has become increasingly popular on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where users share their take on the style.
