In the world of TikTok micro trends, we’ve seen just about every mystical character get the fashion treatment. As we head toward summer, though, it only makes sense that we would be embracing mermaids.

The mermaidcore trend is a fantastical twist on resort wear. Instead of the usual nautical themes like sailor stripes and high-waisted shorts, mermaidcore is all about embracing cool shades of blue, lavender, and green with touches of texture and sparkle. Below, 12 mermaidcore outfits that are sure to make a splash this season.

Into the Blue

A simple way to do the mermaidcore look is to pair a bralette with a maxi skirt for an easy Ariel vibe. Step it up with this matching sequined crochet set and add a fun heel to bring it all together.

Vacation Vibes

Of course you'll need to take your mermaid look with you during your summer vacation. Whether you’re looking to make a statement by the pool or chill in your lounge chair, try a dramatic top with a patterned ruched skirt and a straw bag for a standout look.
