Barbiecore is a fashion trend that is inspired by Barbie and obviously could not miss the chance to also honor the iconic Ken. This trend is characterized by the use of bright colors (as we can see in the trailer of the upcoming live-action movie of the doll), tight clothes, and bright accessories.
But although most of the attention is focused on Barbie-inspired looks, there are ways to achieve Ken’s look and get on this trend that will be everywhere in summer. That’s why we made you a “Barbiecore” guide so you can have Ken’s poise, elegance, and looks.
1. Shirts with Fun Prints
It is impossible to imagine Ken without one of his iconic shirts with fun prints. So, this summer to get on board the Barbiecore trend, you definitely need to add a printed shirt to your outfits. If stores don’t have what you like you can surely find some fun second-hand or vintage pieces.
2. Pink Is for Everyone
It’s so last century to think that pink is only for “girls.” In the Barbiecore trend (and already many celebrities have shown us how) pink looks great on everybody! Hot pink is a must in your closet if you want to embrace Ken.
3. Contrast of Colors
Undoubtedly, one of the most important points of Barbiecore and the Barbie and Ken vibe is the contrast of vibrant colors. So dare to combine colors that you would think would not look good together; the point is to create contrast. Also, use pastels because it can make it much easier to use them if you’re not sure yet about embracing the full style.
4. Dress Pants Mixed with a Casual Touch
Dress pants, also known as trousers, are the ultimate trend today. The no-jeans trend is gaining more and more strength, and at Barbiecore it’s all about looking stylish but cool. Don’t be scared because this type of garment is not only for a job interview, you can also wear everyday trousers with sneakers and a cool T-shirt.
5. Cool Sunglasses
Sunglasses are a way to give personality to your outfit, and in Summer more than ever they will be really fashionable. Look for those glasses that have different shapes than the typical ones. Choose ones with amber or other colored lenses or ones with a different frame shape. Go for it!
6. Accessorize!
From manicured nails and a fun design to pearl necklaces, and rings, if something characterizes Ken is that he can be very extra. Accessories are the perfect complement to make your outfit stand out from the rest.
