The fun, playful, and wearable trend is still the hype these days. Check out these pieces that will surely bring out the Barbie (or Ken) in you!
The Barbie frenzy is far from over. It’s just getting started. The much-awaited Barbie movie hit the theatres last July 19, 2023, and all things pink (and blue) have been dominating social media and beyond since then.
It’s time to indulge in the dream of being a Barbie, even if just on the way to the cinema. From monochromatic fits of Fuchsia pink to just donning a pop of bright colour as an accent to your attire, it will be the dream of all dreams.

Still, we want to bring this out of the theatres and into the streets. Similar to what BMR1959, Mattel’s Barbie 1959 dolls, aim to do by mixing fashion heritage with modern streetwear. Check out the Barbie-coded pieces of clothing below that can inspire something out of you.
This Barbie feels cold.
If you’re cold, or probably just want to top your outfit with outerwear, then these pink jackets might do the trick. A white or black shirt as a base is never a bad idea, but you can go bold with darker shades of red—it will elevate your fit even more.

Or a blue one. Or a short-sleeved one. Sometimes the weather will not be in your favour, and having options in your closet can save your life. Just a tip: for layered looks, several factors come into play, such as the texture of the clothes and the colour story you’d want to convey. Don’t be afraid to mix and match.

This Barbie is going to school.
If you have to go to your university grounds, there’s nothing wrong with choosing an outfit. Look cute for your crush. Or even look the best for yourself and your confidence—you should do you.
These ivy-league-inspired (others call this aesthetic, academia) fits might inspire you.

You can pair your university jackets with loose, nature-inspired pink pants from Stussy. If you’re gunning for that casual, too-busy-for-exams-but-still-want-to-look-cute vibes, this jacket will give you the confidence boost to face your hell week head-on.

This Barbie is going to play sports.
You could never go wrong with wearing a tracksuit. Ever. That, or a cowboy jacket, paired with sweats or jeans, could do you some good—at least, according to Golf Wang. Athleisure is one fashion trend that is not going away anytime soon. It’s such a great mix of style and comfort!

This Barbie wants to stand out.
Dressing in monochromatic outfits is one of the most impactful ways to stand out in fashion. Thus, whether you opt for something along the lines of Palm Angels and Barbour’s mix of traditional and contemporary in a pink ensemble, or a lax yet cosy shirt and sweatpants combo from Patta, then you’re headed towards the right direction.

A different pop of colour can bring out the pink, too, or maybe a belt (and ribbon) is just what it takes to attain satisfaction from completing your ensemble.
Regardless of the pink or blue (or yellow!) item you choose for your fit—whether it’s the entirety or just a piece—remember that these aren’t just colours. Barbiecore is a lifestyle.
