Wake up mermaid enthusiasts, because it is finally your time to shine! You heard us, mermaid fashion has finally arrived and is here to take over your summer wardrobe. The trend has gained momentum over the past few years, with celebrities like Dua Lipa and brands like Versace hopping on board. From an ocean and sunrise colour palette to iridescent and wet-looking textures, mermaidcore is the adult-sized version of playing mermaids we have all been waiting for. And with the live-action The Little Mermaid movie finally coming out, there’s no better chance to let the style be part of your world–and your vacation suitcase (see what we did there?).
Here are our top picks to embrace your inner sea goddess (PSA: we can’t promise it comes with underwater breathing):

This is the perfect way to dip your toes in water and embrace your inner mermaid–no tail required. Add a pearl belly chain with matching sunnies and you’ll be serving mermaidcore all summer.

Looking for the perfect outfit for a beach-side fancy dinner? Well, look no further than here. This dress will have you dreaming of glistening oceans and sandy beaches. And if you don’t have an event planned for this summer yet, you can still pair it up with pastel strappy heels and wear it anytime you want to feel like a fairy-tale.

Is there anything that says mermaid more than an iridescent sequin top? We don’t think so. Match it up with a white mini-skirt and platform sandals for a look that’ll turn heads (and fins).

Who needs a tail when you have this scale-like chic skirt? If you’re feeling up for it, you can even dress it down with your favourite bikini top or amp up the sophistication by adding anoversized blazer.

These starfish won’t whisper compliments in your ear like the ones in Aquamarine did, but you’ll still be getting them everywhere you go. You can thank us later.
