TikTok trends like Charmcore are popularized and then quickly forgotten. But that doesn’t mean they don’t last. The essence of Charmcore is to personalize outfits by adding a lot of accessories. This will show people who you are. Charmcore is not about slapping on as much jewellery as possible, no matter how it looks. It’s more about collecting the pieces that are meaningful to you. You can style keychains in many different ways, such as layering necklaces or stacking bracelets. The look should be unique and reflect your taste. The key is to elevate the ensemble.

Charmcore is a style that has roots in the early 2000s. It reminds me that I used to string my Giga Pets or Tamagotchis into my belt loops not only for easy access but also as a finishing touch to my outfit. Back then, jewellery was colourful and kitschy. It could be customized and looked cool. It screamed for attention or at least acknowledgement. We’re now seeing a revival and rediscovered appreciation for this jewellery.

Charmcore makes dressing up fun. Sorting through chains, charms, and other decorative items is not a chore.

Here are three ways to wear Charmcore from day to evening.

Charmcore Daytime Casual Outfit

Charmcore is an incredibly “cutesy”, girlier look. To create an interesting juxtaposition, you can contrast an abundance of jewellery and oversize silhouettes. Balenciaga’s City Bag has returned in big fashion thanks to the Charmcore trend. (See these videos for proof.)

In addition to adding two keychains to the bag that reflect my personality, I love the idea of wrapping a chunky belt around the handle to add more metal. I have the larger version of this iconic bag, so I paired it with a baggy Good American tee in XL and a vintage tee. The Adidas sneakers give the outfit a sporty-casual feel, while the Jenny Bird hoops, choker necklace and XL vintage tee add a little polish. This outfit proves that Charmcore can be worn even when comfort is your main priority.

Daytime Chic Charmcore outfit

Charmcore is all about a fun, flirty look with oodles of personality. Adding bold colours should be no surprise. It’s fun to break up a monochrome look with jewels. This will add depth and acknowledge that you are aware of your kitschy style but wear it with confidence. Since I have two butterfly tattoos inked on my fingers, I collect accessories that are loud and blatant.

Another way to draw attention is with dangling charm earrings. They are a great way to play on the charm aesthetic of the early 2000s. If you have an extra pendant that doesn’t fit with your top, wrap it around your bag handle to make sure that nothing is forgotten.

Night Out Charmcore Outfit

Black is my go-to colour for a night-out look. A co-ord outfit can be streamlined when you have accessories that are more playful and bold. For a polished look, I always wear dark sunglasses. If you want to achieve a Charmcore evening look, stick with all-gold. You can either opt for two charm necklaces layered or a chunky chain-link neckpiece. A gold belt, whether thick or thin, is a great alternative to the anklet I wore.
