SOFTGIRL CORE

Popularized by Gen Z and balletcore, soft girl core has become increasingly popular in the last year, particularly in the last few months. But what is soft girl core? It can be summed up by pastels, bows, lace, and all things that exude hyper-femininity. This aesthetic diverges from the grunge themes that have been dominating the market, instead embracing girliness, nostalgia, and innocence. To achieve this look, we will break down some accessories that you can add to your wardrobe.

BOWS

Bows are a dominating force in this trend and are the easiest way to add some femininity and girliness to your look. You can add bows to almost any part of your outfit, but my favorites are in the hair, on bags, and on shoes. However you decide to incorporate them, they are sure to add a sense of delicacy and cuteness.

LACE

The delicacy of lace exudes hyper-femininity, making it the perfect fabric for soft girl aesthetics. Incorporating lace in any shape or form, especially in light colors or pastels, can dramatically elevate a look and add a touch of sexiness to the girly vibe.

TIGHTS

Incorporating a sheer, metallic, pastel tight is key to maintaining innocence while still being chic and sexy. It can be easy to fall into the trap of looking too young with this trend, so adding adult-like elements is important to maintain a cute yet sophisticated appearance.

FLOWERS

Lastly, adding floral details to any part of your look can enhance the feminine and innocent qualities of this trend. Not only do floral details add a sense of delicacy, but they also connect the wearer with nature and add interest.
