Think Pink

There’s nothing that says “Barbie” more than her iconic embrace of the girliest color: pink. Barbiecore fashion isn’t afraid of bold and bright pinks, either. Try a pink mini dress with feminine flair like ruffles and other accents, go head-to-toe pink with a matching set, or incorporate a more subtle touch like a pink blazer or cover-up.

Get Retro

Part of the beauty of Barbie is her versatility across decades. She truly ties together generations, and doesn’t shy away from digging up old trends and making them feel intentional. ‘80s trends like neon and windbreaker jackets, as well as ‘70s trends like colorful flare pants, are all in rotation in the true Barbie girl’s wardrobe.
