The trendy fashion aesthetic of 2024
Gone are the days when fashion was limited to “What are you wearing?” Instead, now is the time to show your personality through a specific “core” made up of certain elements of your personal style. While the Barbie core was more of a fleeting trend in fashion, the world of cores and aesthetics has changed rapidly over time.
Fashion aesthetics are purely a personal choice, but there’s no denying that the world of social media has long influenced our perception of fashion, which is why there are some trendy aesthetics currently causing havoc on the internet.
Check out all the major cores and aesthetics of 2024:
vintage
Whether it’s the story behind an outfit or the age-old outfit itself, the appeal of a vintage look is simply undeniable. From the Met Gala to Cannes, even celebrities have chosen vintage looks for their nostalgia factor, elegance and exclusivity.
Fairytale core
Fairycore was popularized by Gen Z girls who wanted to live a life of whimsy. It’s as close to enchantment as it gets. Think soft pastel colors, flowing skirts, beautiful floral patterns, and delicate sleeves, and you have a fairycore look.
Light Academy
After dark science took over the internet, light science now rules the streets. From pleated skirts to tank tops to button-downs and crew socks, light science is all about discovering your inner student, but doing it FASHIONably.
Coquette core
The coquette trend is all about emphasizing femininity, but in a more seductive way. A 2024 favorite, this particular trend features delicate details, a vintage feel, and an overall whimsical touch. From lace to bows to soft pastel colors, the coquette trend is confident and flirtatious.
Old money
Old Money is one of the trends dominating the streets and has been around for a while. Sophisticated and timeless, it includes classic pieces like well-tailored blazers, tailored trousers and a solid colour palette of beige, white and navy blue tones. The aim is to exude an aura of understated luxury without the price tag to match.
