popular YouTuber Amanda Weldon recently reviewed the trends it believes will set the standard by 2024, including the “Girlcore” trend. According to her, the Girlcore style is about radiating feminine energy and using feminine elements in your wardrobe – think bows, rosettes and ruffles. She also highlighted the presence of Girlcore elements in the 2024 collections of top designers such as Balmain, Simone Rocha and Alexander McQueen. As you prepare for a year full of stress, don’t neglect this aesthetic, especially if you are drawn to soft and playful elements that fully embody feminine charm.
What is Girlcore about?
The Girlcore movement is centered around women and the fearless, independent and powerful lifestyle they represent. It covers a wide range of aspects of appearance and lifestyle choices that promote inclusivity, self-expression and self-confidence. It’s more than just a fashion statement; it is a social movement that encourages women to accept diversity and be real, or perhaps more feminine.
Find out how to jump on the Girlcore trend…
The Girlcore trend can be followed in two ways: with minimal accents or loud and daring. Whatever your style, a high dose of femininity is the goal.
#1. Playful tulle
A tulle dress is as girly as can be. You can grab a tulle skirt in vibrant colors like pink, purple or even rainbow shades and pair it with a graphic T-shirt or a top with a bold pattern for that playful Girlcore vibe. You can also consider adding layers of tulle to your outfit, such as a tulle underskirt under a plain dress, then mixing and matching textures and colors for an interesting look. Don’t be afraid to play with contrasting elements to express your unique style.
#2. Flirty side
In Girlcore style, lace dresses are an easy way to look vintage and romantic. But if that’s not what you’re aiming for, you can also use this fabric to soften your overall look. For example, a lace blouse can be combined with leather pants for a more feminine look. You can also use laces in accessories such as gloves or headbands for a subtle touch of elegance. Whichever route you choose, you’ll be sure to follow this trend where it sticks.
#3. Shimmering taffeta
Taffeta’s softness, shine and texture give it a hand above most other Girlcore fabrics, as it is feminine but not too soft. This is perfect for girly looks that still want to retain an element of strength. Plus, it’s chic and elegant and can dominate a room without seeming too loud. In the Girlcore trend, this is the fabric you reach for when you feel like mixing moods.
#4. Nice bows
Bows provide a cute and feminine touch and contribute to the expressive and diverse character of the trend. Whether incorporated into accessories such as headbands or as part of clothing, they provide a versatile and DIY-friendly element, allowing you to showcase your unique style within the Girlcore movement. Essentially, bows are more than just accessories; they’re a delicious and simple way to add a personal and playful flair to your Girlcore fashion.
#5. Whip-like fringes
Opt for tops with ruffles on the sleeves or necklines for a touch of charm, and pair them with statement or patterned trousers to create a dynamic contrast. You can also opt for dresses with ruffles to add movement and whimsy to your outfit. Then experiment with different lengths and silhouettes to discover what suits your style.
#6. Soft pastel shades
Colors such as soft baby pink, purple, peach, etc. are an important part of this trend. You can also opt for bold and vibrant shades of these colors as they can make the trend even more prominent. But pastel colors express a softness reserved for graceful fashion.
#7. Seductive flowers
Flowers are an integral part of the Girlcore trend, as few things can dispute the femininity they radiate. Designers have made sure this is the easiest route to walk, with the many bold floral motifs and rosettes splashed across the grand catwalks. Whether they stand out with dresses, tops or accessories, flowers add the right amount of playfulness and girlishness to your ensemble.
