Blokecore is About to Take Over the Streets

BLOKECORE FASHION TREND

After experiencing the European Cup, the Copa America, and now the Olympics have begun again, a new style of dressing has quietly emerged, which is the ‘blokecore fashion trend’. This article will take you to explore the uniqueness of the blokecore fashion trend！

 WHAT IS BLOKECORE?

The Blokecore style mainly draws inspiration from football and other sports, and combines common items in men’s wardrobes to create a comfortable and personalized appearance. Football jerseys, jeans with sneakers, these three piece sets can be said the essential for Blokecore style.

HOW DID BLOKECORE BECOME POPULAR?

This story is a bit nonsensical. Initially, a TikTok blogger wanted to give a name to his jersey outfit and ride on the heat of the World Cup that year.

He found that British football bloggers always use “Bloke” to refer to each other, so he slapped his forehead and named his “jersey outfit” Blokecore. Who knew this name would miraculously become popular? It also gained millions of views!

The combination of jersey, jeans, and Adidas Samba exudes a retro and casual style, showcasing the free and unrestrained personality and attitude towards life of the young generation.

But upon closer examination, the popularity of this trend is actually the result of evolution and precipitation with the development of football and clothing. After all, the original jerseys could be made of pure cotton or wool, and even wearing a shirt to compete was allowed without much emphasis.

As football matches become more standardized, jerseys also need a standard to distinguish different teams and players, with numbers, colors, and horizontal and vertical stripes being applied to jerseys.

In the 1980s, considering the breathability and lightweight of jerseys, synthetic fibers such as nylon and polyester began to appear in fabrics. For the flexibility of movements, the design also began to adopt a tight fitting design that conforms to the body curve.

The vintage jerseys that we remember mainly appeared in the 1990s. A loose fitting jersey with colorful colors and collage prints is hard not to catch the eye. Sports brands are also actively launching jerseys with different styles, such as polo collars, stand up collars, lapels, and intricate patterned designs.

In addition to the design changes of the jersey itself, the factors of the times cannot be ignored. Football culture is prevalent in the UK, but not only on the field, but also in the stands.

Players were running on the field, while Teenager fans in the UK were fighting each other in the stands, seemingly cheering for their supported team.

The standard outfit for this group of fans is “football jersey+jeans+retro sneakers”, and at this moment, this outfit combination still carries some symbols of rebellion and violence.

But it is precisely because of this that the football community has developed its own style, which has also promoted the integration of football and fashion, laying the foundation for Blokecore.

Nowadays, major brands are involved in the field of jerseys. Gucci collaborates with Palace Skateboards, a British skateboarding brand, on a joint jersey.

Acne Studios launches pink striped jerseys, perfectly blending football elements with delicate pink

Recently, Jennie uploaded her first video on TikTok, wearing a very special jersey from the designer brand CONNER IVES. The designer remakes vintage jerseys collected from around the world and creates folds to present a unique sense of casualness.

BLOKECORE OUTFIT WOMEN

The basic dressing formula is the “jersey+jeans+sneakers” we mentioned above. The jersey itself has bright colors, and the bottom is mainly simple and basic, so there will definitely be no mistakes.

You can also choose a color from the jersey as the main color tone for your full body outfit, maintaining color consistency without being too dull.

Oversize, loose and comfortable, is a very handsome boyfriend style.

Paired with sports pants or work pants, it can also achieve the same effect, while doubling the comfort. It is definitely a favorite of Hippop Girls, which not only does not affect large movements, but also shows a cool and handsome side.

But Oversize style still tests height quite a bit, and it’s not very friendly to short people. At this time, it’s worth trying to show your waistline. Tie a loose hem or tuck it into the edge of your underwear, and raise your waistline!

Nowadays, football jerseys not only have loose styles, but also have some slim fit, short, and sleeveless options to choose from, providing more creative matching space and meeting the needs of short girls.

In addition to revealing the waistline, you can also refer to Bella’s outfit and simply wear a piece of underwear to disappear. While showing off the length of the legs, the loose jersey can also cover the flesh

If your daily style is more casual and girlish, you may want to try the combination of “jersey+short skirt”, which is more youthful, youthful and energetic.

Choosing the popular Samba, motorcycle boots, or loafers from the past two years will not create a sense of dissonance.

Blokette is a new term formed by the separation and reorganization of Blokecore and Coquette.

Compared to the complex ballet girlish feel, replacing the female elements in the formula with sexy tight fitting tops can better showcase the youthful brightness and sexy coolness of the girl.

4. Short top+sports shorts

This summer, Adidas’ sports shorts are definitely a popular item, and we can also use them to pair with Blokette. You can choose a cool camisole or a short top for the top, with soft elements such as ruffles, bows, and pleats to enhance the overall girlish look.

We can also pair high heels, boots, and other items with sports shorts to complement and highlight the diversity of the overall look. This combination of softness and strength perfectly meets the modern fashion demands for individuality and innovation.

In addition to clothes and shoes, it is also necessary to add a unique style to the details. For example, we can make an effort in hairstyles and accessories, add various ribbons to braids, or DIY shoelaces into ribbons, and add ribbon decorations of the same color scheme to the collar, cuffs, and waistband of clothing. These details are also the finishing touch of BLOKETTE!
