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.
