Barbiecore: everything you need to know and 10 outfit ideas

Hi everyone! Today's episode of #fashionpedia is about the aesthetic of the moment, Barbiecore. I don't know about you, but I'm excited about the upcoming Barbie movie with Margot Robbie. 

When I think of Barbie, there's one color on top of my mind, pink. Not a care in the world, pink and beautiful clothes, long hair, and wild dreams are what Barbie was for me when I was a child. But how can we translate this world into a fashion aesthetic? 

You want to look for bright colors and hot pink from head to toe. But there's more because Barbiecore is a genderless, empowering, and proud aesthetic. Pink becomes a powerful color that makes you feel like you can conquer the world. If you embrace this aesthetic, you'll look like an ironic, irreverent, and fun version of the Barbie doll. When we played with Barbie, we lived our wildest dreams, the perfect life, and we had no evil thoughts. That fun and happiness are crucial for the Barbiecore aesthetic. Remember, life in plastic is fantastic

What's in a Barbiecore closet? 

The perfect Barbiecore closet is made out of girly 90s and 00s clothes. Miniskirts, minidresses, tennis attire, crop tops, heels, and platform shoes are your new basics. Then faux fur jackets, animal prints, feathers, and sparkling clothes are welcome. But your best friends are the accessories. They need to be eye-catching, fun, exaggerated, and girly. So, let's welcome micro bags, fun sunglasses, chain belts, and plastic bijoux. Of course, bright pink is the primary color of everything in the Barbiecore closet.
