If you want a lesson in Barbiecore, Margot Robbie's Barbie press tour looks offer textbook clarity. Pink is essential, however not all of us have access to stylist Andrew Mukamal to hunt down references and dream up a modern interpretation. However, we do have the internet and now you can take this Barbiecore guide too.

Total transparency, when TikTok first began to sound the Barbiecore alarm, we were suffering from micro trend fatigue and ignored it. Barbiecore what? That's just Pierpaolo Piccioli Pink to the untrained eye. But with the onslaught of Y2K and Greta Gerwig's multimillion dollar reimagining of the legendary, albeit polarising, children's doll, we must inevitably succumb to the tide of bubblegum and fuschia. It's infectious, after all.

So what to wear? Perhaps you're dressing up to catch the film this weekend, or maybe you always wear pink and everyone else is cramping your style. Whatever camp, these are the pieces we would wear if we were Barbie girls living in a Barbie world.
