The Y2K style of 2022 has made us lively and lively through the memory of the millennium and accompanied us through difficult times.
The new trend to take over in 2023 is Rom-Com Core.
Rom-Com Core means born in the style of the romantic comedy "romantic comedies". The heroines in such films are usually put to the test, but the ending must be exaggerated, absurd and easily resolve the conflict.
Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries goes from ordinary teenager to royalty.
Jenna Rink in Girl Dream Thirty was able to get a decent job and a good income overnight.
They are all imbued with an unreal sense of idealism, but for those who have experienced difficult times, this kind of drama is the choice to allow themselves to escape reality by watching them for a short time.
The Rom-Com Core is a fashion version of the "spiritual massage".
The reason why Rom-Com Core is the next stage of Y2K is because Y2K shows the temptation of carefree times in turbulent times. Rom-Com Core shows the need to express positivity through our wardrobe.
The thirst for romantic comedy reflects that everyone thinks that the train they are riding on to the future has been a little derailed, and the only thing that can comfort themselves is the plot in which the protagonist can get better no matter what setbacks are encountered in the romantic comedy plot.
This trend actually had a hint last year, and actresses who were popular with romantic comedies in the 90s are returning one after another.
Meg Ryan of "When Harry Met Sally" announced last year that she would return with a new film.
Julia Roberts starred in "Ticket to Heaven" last year, Jennifer Lopez starred in "Superstar Married" last year, and Lindsay Lohan also staged "Christmas Love" last Christmas season.
Romantic comedy is actually a buffer for contradictions and generation gaps. After all, there can be controversy about any social issue, especially at this time, and romantic comedies are dramas that everyone will find very good.
And just in time with the rise of feminism, the heroine in the romantic comedy just fits the momentum of young girls who pluck up the courage to be themselves for the first time. They all make mistakes, they have a lot of flaws, but they all have happy ending.
People are eager to use fashion to capture the heroine energy that defined the film industry in the 2000s.
The search for the topic "rom-com core" on TikTok has been viewed more than 2 billion times. Users like to post the rom-com protagonist they longed to play as teenagers.
Pinterest also predicted the next fashion trend in 2023 through users' big data that the next fashion trend in 2023 is rom-com core, with a 235% increase in "girls from the 2000s." "Cool Girl Aesthetic Clothing" increased by 140%; "Pink miniskirt cover" increased by 145%; "rhinestone dresses" increased by 90%; "90s vintage summer wear" increased by 150%.
"By 2023, Gen Z and millennials will decorate their wardrobes with slip dresses, bandeaus, cargo pants and claw clips. For millennials, this may be a nostalgic trend, but for Gen Z, it's not nostalgia: who says you can't live in it without experiencing it? ”——Pinterest。
Rom-Com Core is a tribute to these powerful female protagonist energies. They wear vibrant and lively candy colors, optimistic, confident and strong.
Pretty and Smart。
Such a Rom-Com Core trend has actually quietly become popular in the circle of female stars. Ariana Grande wore Jennifer Garner's iconic Versace miniskirt from Girl Dream Thirty on the scene of The Voice of America.
Bella Hadid and Devon Lee Carlson have spent little time in the past year not to wear rom-com heroines.
There are also many celebrities who interpret this style every day. Like Katie Holmes, Hailey Bieber, Emma Roberts.
Another thing that is enough to support this trend is "Emily in Paris", which many people complain about is not fashionable, but has very good ratings and traffic.
In the play, Emily is dressed colorfully, obviously not like a Parisian woman, but the visual effects are beautiful, and Emily can easily solve any problems she encounters, which is very unrealistic, but for many people it is a placebo.
If you want to dress up this style, it's actually very simple. The combination and matching of the romantic comedy heroine, any set is a classic.
Like Kate Hudson's well-cut bright yellow slip dress in The Decameron Handbook, and the classic combination of a white Ralph Lauren shirt and an A-line dress.
There is both the fashion of women in the workplace and the sexiness of retro elegance.
The tradition of Mean Girls Flower Foursome wearing pink on Wednesdays is still popular on American campuses. Skinny cardigans, T-shirts, diamond-patterned miniskirts...
It can be both integrated into the crowd and stand out.
Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City wears a bandeau dress with exaggerated shoes, layered pants with a skirt, and the decoration of large flowers has recently made a comeback.
There is also Reese Witherspoon's "girly power" shape of Barbie fans in "Legally Blonde", sweet and sunny.
At that time, he single-handedly reshaped the concept of "fashionable female intellectual".
At the heart of this trend is unity: people expect to dress up as them, borrow a little courage and confidence, and also yearn for some dramatic turns in life to make it easier to transition to the next stage of life.
In short, Rom-Com Core is like a blessing, wishing all the girls a happy life for everyone like the final movie.
