To be or not to be: that is the question
Out of all the microtrends that have emerged in recent years, #poetcore might just be our absolute fave. how could it not, really? it might’ve taken most – ahem, some – of us by surprise, but its rise in popularity certainly reflects a generational shift rooted not only in strong collective values, but also the fact that a person’s lifestyle is now an integral part of their self-expression.
book clubs are on the rise (yes, reading is thankfully cool again), the prosperity of analogue media continues to provide a safe haven from ai slop, and don’t even get us started on the concept of yearning… we could go on for hours.
according to pinterest predicts, Gen Z and Millennials are certainly tapping into the trend: searches for ‘the poet aesthetic’ are up by +175% on the platform, which suggests that dressing up like your grandparents will likely stick around for a little while.
with that in mind, we’ve dm’d our resident fashionista and stylist Kitty King Murrison to help us put together the ultimate womenswear lookbook for your inner poet.
“i looked at brands that are known to produce quality garments; the kind of pieces you buy once and keep forever,” kitty explains. “i was really inspired by neutral tones and clothing with unique collars, prints, or sleeves.”
