In her perfectly-puffed sleeve blouse and shiny black Mary Janes, Eloise ruled the Plaza Hotel (and our childhood). Now, she is making her grand and glamorous return on the ever-evolving pages of TikTok. Similar to the streets of New York of which Eloise curiously explored in style, the most fashionable figures of TikTok have created a space for Eloise’s pampered and preppy aesthetic to return with a twist for the modern woman.
Characterized by feminine silhouettes, dramatic accessories, delicious textures, and an intentional play with pink (similar to that of Barbiecore), Plazacore – as coined by Byrdie – contains the fall/winter style inspiration we are all in desperate need of.
And while we usually associate the preppy aesthetic with a passion for equestrian sport and brands such as Vineyard Vines or Lilly Pulitzer (both of which are iconic in their own right), Plazacore infuses traditional ideas of prep with a bit more feminine frill. From puff sleeve blouses and silky hair bows to flirty feather pajama sets and pearl-embellished purses, College Fashionista rounds up a list of essentials you need to perfect Plazacore in a way that would make Eloise incredibly proud.
