Winter 2023 fashion sees the triumphant return of plazacore. Indeed, although “casual chic” clothing has dominated the scene in recent years, Plazacore is back to capture the imagination of fashion lovers everywhere, offering a new opportunity to flaunt opulence with sophistication and attention to detail.

Plazacore: Starting from the Basics

Imagine yourself walking through the streets of Central Park, the now-dry tree leaves crunching under your Mary Jane’s as you are wrapped in a warm pied de poule wool coat. A hot drink in your hand.

You are the perfect portrayal of an old movie heroine, but imagine if you could really, with the right outfit, experience these same vibes in the park near your home… without necessarily taking the first flight to the Big Apple. By adopting a Plazacore style all of this is possible!

The Plazacore is characterized by the combination of preppy bon-ton elements with bold and original accents. What should never be lacking in your wardrobe will undoubtedly be a-line dresses, coats in bold colors and patterns; but also opulent accessories such as headbands, bows, ruffles, pearls – not only in jewellery – and gloves – lace, suede, fishnet, leather will do.

Keep in mind that one of the key aspects of this trend is versatility, and that even a single outfit can be adapted to any occasion: from a day at University to an exclusive party or a family dinner.

How to Embrace Plazacore in Winter 2023 Season

When we talk about Plazacore, Blair Waldorf is the name that immediately springs to mind. Her portrayal of Lighton Meester as a young upper-class Manhattan heiress in the series ‘Gossip Girl’ has made her a much-loved icon.

If you want to fully embrace her style, take a cue from her outfits and follow these simple rules to do so successfully:

Classic garments: start with a-line dresses, structured coats, pleated skirts and well-cut jackets. Choose high-quality garments that will be durable and timeless. Dare with collegiate jackets (dark academy style), cashmere jumpers, tweed suits and don’t be afraid to wear ballet flats, one of Plazacore’s staples. Don’t worry, no one will judge you.

Bold details: experiment with bright colors and bold prints, such as red, emerald green or yellow; the latter is, by the way, one of the trendiest shades this autumn, in spite of summer. Add eccentric details such as bows, ruffles and lace to your outfits to give them a touch of originality.

Tights also make a comeback, preferably coloured, or semi-transparent tights with perforated decorations.

Luxury Accessories: accessories are key. Headbands, designer handbags and vintage jewellery can transform a look in an instant. Pearls are the ultimate choice if you really want to go extra.

When it comes to handbags, on the other hand, maxi tote bags, or quilted models, not to mention leather or satin clutches, will do the trick.

Among the luxury brands to refer to when it comes to Plazacore is undoubtedly Chanel, which embodies its essence 100%, but you will also find plenty of interesting proposals at Miu Miu, Dior, Marc Jacobs, Claudie Pierlot and Bora Aksu, to name a few.

Conclusions

The return of the Plazacore is a tribute to eternal elegance and boldness in fashion. This style offers all women the opportunity to embrace glamour and luxury, while allowing them to express their personality without fear.

This season, I invite you to take a step back in time: dare with bright colors, proudly flaunt those eccentric accessories you keep locked in your drawer.

Remember that Plazacore is a way to express your uniqueness and, why not, show off your creativity. Fashion is an art, and you have the canvas on which to paint your vision. After all, Blair has shown us that this is possible!
