The Babycore style is popular among teenagers because it allows them to depict innocence, playfulness, and characteristics reminiscent of early childhood.
The Babycore style mimics children’s attire via oversized sweaters, dresses, trousers, ruffles, frills, bows, polka dots, and cartoon prints., in pink, yellow, and baby blue.
Babycore outfits act as a nostalgic escape from the complexities of modern life by allowing the wearers to reconnect with their carefree and joyful early years.
1. Babycore Kawaii
Start your Babycore Kawaii look with a blue sweatshirt featuring a cute cartoon print and a ruffled mini skirt in pink and blue pastels in a tulle or cotton fabric for a girlish touch.
Wear pink Mary Jane platform shoes from Melissa and pair them with knitted knee-high socks in baby blue from Happy Socks for a youthful touch.
Complete the outfit with a pink knitted beanie from Carhartt or Urban Outfitters to capture the essence of Babycore and create a fashionable yet childlike appearance.
2. Playful Babycore
Begin your Playful Babycore outfit with an oversized white t-shirt from Hanes or Gildan as a base layer, reminding you of the carefree nature of childhood.
Layer the t-shirt with loose-fit pastel pink overalls in line with the oversized theme from Dickies or Levi’s, Zara pink lace socks, and a pair of New Balance 574 sneakers in a pink and blue colorway.
Complete the outfit with a coordinated bonnet hat with frills to enhance the youthful theme from a specialty or boutique store.
3. Babycore Lolita
The centerpiece of the Babycore Lolita ensemble is the pink ruffle and lace Lolita dress with bowknots for a touch of elegance and puff sleeves for a romantic, vintage feel.
Look for a dress that balances the classic Lolita style with an approachable feel, ideally from brands like Angelic Pretty or Baby, The Stars Shine Bright, which specialize in Lolita fashion.
Wear Victorian-style ankle boots from Victorian Trading Co. and knee-high knitted socks from Sock Dreams to contrast the dress.
Accessorize with a pink teddy bear doll to emphasize the Babycore childlike theme and the Lolita vibe of the outfit, a lace and bowknot bonnet, and a baby dummy as a playful accessory.
