1) Back to School
The obvious key to any blokecore look is a soccer jersey. Whether you score one while thrifting, borrow from your S.O. ‘s closet, or invest in something new, consider blokecore incomplete until you have one in your arsenal. One of the simplest ways to tackle this aesthetic is by styling it with black to allow the colors of your jersey to shine. As we gear up for back to school, adapt a collegiate-inspired look with a mini skirt, knee-high socks, and loafers.
