Barbiecore has exploded in popularity thanks to celebrities, but let’s be real – would you ever walk down the street in this?
I think not. The good news is that Barbiecore in South Asian wear is less runway art and more wearable fashion. It’s functional, attainable, and looks amazing. Even more so than the pantaboots (why is this a thing?!) and corset dresses that cemented Barbiecore as a celebrity-approved 2022 summer trend.
Barbiecore in South Asian wear is also not new. Yes, we finally have a name for it, but sparkly, vibrant, colorful, luxurious clothes are what South Asian fashion is known for. Every designer and store already has inventory that can be classified as Barbiecore. More importantly, unlike the pantaboots 👀, your outfit will have life at other weddings and events after this trend passes.
Ready to channel your inner Barbie girl at the next wedding on your calendar? Here’s a roundup of my favorite Barbiecore South Asian wear.
