No aesthetic ever started directly with fashion
Glamcore is an aesthetic that combines fashion, music, and art to create a bold and daring style. This look is often created with a bright, glamorous twist, usually involving bright colors, makeup, and statement jewelry reminiscent of the glam rock era of the 1970s. Glamcore can also be used to express a confident and edgy vibe, while still being totally sexy.
Though glamcore is rooted in the past and inspired by glam rockers, it has become a popular look for everyone of all ages, especially for Gen Z. Gen Zers have been drawn to Glamcore because it is an incredible way to express themselves artistically, by embracing different forms of fashion and music.
