While the plazacore trend made its grand entrance as a fall fashion favorite, we're making a case for its return to everyone's spring wardrobe.
The plazacore aesthetic, inspired by our favorite fictional it-girls from Gossip Girl and Breakfast At Tiffany's to Eloise at the Plaza and more, is a crossover between glam, maximalist and preppy styles. For spring, we urge you to get more playful and bold with the classy, sophisticated trend, which we know Blair Waldorf would certainly approve of. Think tweed, vibrant houndstooth jackets, bejeweled accessories, Mary Janes, heeled loafers, neutrals, pastels and the list goes on...
Plazacore is all about luxury, opulence and eye-catching materials and designs, but you don't need to break the bank to achieve a look that Upper East Siders would approve of. We've rounded up a bunch of pieces that prove the trend is super wearable and affordable for the spring. Shop them all below.
This blazer dress is simple, practical and sophisticated. The blazer design is perfectly preppy, and can be dressed up with some point-toe heels or made edgy with a pair of platform loafers. No matter how you style the look, it's a plazacore wardrobe staple.
The plazacore aesthetic is all about luxe materials and playful designs. This tweed jacket fits the requirements, but is still totally wearable for the everyday. It has jewel buttons and faux fur sleeves. Whether you pair it with a simple black dress or a pair of flowing trousers, it'll add a luxurious feel to any look.
This purple wool look cardigan has a flattering fitted waist and eye-catching round sleeves. It's the perfect look to dress casually with jeans or trousers and ballet flats, but if you're going for major girly-girl vibes as your favorite from Gossip Girl would, you can also pair the cardigan with a midi slip skirt, kitten heels and lots of pearls.
These light blue tweed shorts are so cute and perfect for the spring. You can pair the look with a simple white blouse or button-down and a pair of ballet flats or pumps for a perfectly plazacore ensemble.
A white silk blouse is a must-have if you want to wear the plazacore look into spring. You can pair the top with trousers, skirts, kitten heels, loafers and so much more. It's the perfect sophisticated look for any occasion.
