Some call the “core” in fashion a micro trend, but it is more than a trend. This is a legitimate opportunity to transform yourself, going beyond creative photo shoots. This is an opportunity to be a character in real life, not just cosplay.
“Style” is a vague concept, based on an internal sense of self, based on a theoretical foundation. And the “core” ones are subcultural and often rely on famous movie characters. And yet, core, unlike cosplay, allows you to add your own personality to the images.
How to relate yourself to a certain core, try to create a mood board that is dear to your heart from clothes, interior items, colors, characters. If nothing comes to mind, perhaps you are a supporter of normcore, ordinary clothes without signs of individuality, fantasy or show off.
Below are the most popular cores and their visualization.
Mermaidcore (mermaid style)
The mermaid style gained particular popularity after the release of the movie The Little Mermaid. In everyday life, wear flared jeans, tops and dresses with large sequins, long casually flowing stripes, mesh, dresses and long skirts in the godet style. Fabrics with a wet sheen will help you.
If you don’t dare to play the mermaid style in life, then style your photo shoot in this aesthetic.
Balletcore
It’s difficult to say why the ballet aesthetic has become popular, but ballet flats are the macro trend of the season, and tutu skirts are coming back into fashion. Modern styling of tutus with thin translucent long sleeves.
Gothcore
Gothic core gained new popularity thanks to the acclaimed series "Wednesday". Modern gothic style does not focus on black, but is as transparent and sexy as possible.
Barbiecore
Barbie style received a new wave of popularity thanks to the film “Barbie” starring Margot Robbie. But it is worth noting that Barbie’s aesthetics have inspired designers and many fashionistas before.
