Your Summer 2024 Wardrobe is Basically Begging for These Mermaidcore Pieces (2024)

Nothing says “mermaidcore” like a little bb shell clutch. Style this bag with a matching shimmery top or skirt and then add in some pearl jewelry to really complete the OOTD.

Shoe designer Marina Larroude dreamt up these shoes exclusively for Rosewood Le Guanahani (a luxury resort in St. Barths, NBD) and they’re bringing alllll of the mermaidcore vibes. Both the flats and the wedges are dotted with gold seashell detailing and come in a handful of stunning colorways inspired by the oceanic hotel. They're the ideal lightweight sandal to toss into your stuffed-to-the-brim Europe carry-on (IYKYK) and, of course, the ultimate St. Barths souvenir.

If by “thing-a-ma-bobs” you mean reasons to wear this sweater, then yes, I’ve got plenty! Throw the loose knit over a swimsuit and you’ve got instant mermaidcore.

When you want to pay tribute to our mermaids out there but don’t want your entire look to revolve around it, go for something like this crochet bikini with subtle scalloped detailing.

Ariel, is that you?! Yep, your transformation is almost complete thanks to this iridescent halter top that gives The Little Mermaid energy.

This gold necklace is worth the splurge. It’s the ultimate piece of charm jewelry that encapsulates the playfulness of the seaside aesthetic—it’s surprisingly wearable whether you’re living in bikinis on vacay or just leaving the house to run errands.

Obsessed with the fact that the asymmetrical ruffles on this teal sundress look like cascading waterfalls? Yeah, same. It’s the colorful boost of serotonin my wardrobe needs ASAP.

This aquatic purse will do nicely for any occasion where you need a bag that’s cute but also has enough space to hold more than a lipstick. The blue ombre droplet gems on this bag look totally drippy and give off a just-stepped-out-of-the-ocean vibe.

If you’re headed to a night out or a special event where you’re wanting to make a statement—this pearl chain necklace will do just that.

Forget LBDs, this season we are going for alllll the blue dresses. This midi sequin one will make a splash at any event (pun intended).

Although this is technically a cover-up, we won’t say anything if you decide to wear it to dinner. It’s a lovely shade and the twist detail gives a bit of mystique only a gorge mermaid could (that’s you).

These sweet shell bracelets are a way to wear the trend without it being too costume-y. Wear one on your wrist or create a fun stack filled with other gold items—the choice is yours!

I’m sorry, I will never get over How! Darn! Cute! this cuff bracelet is. It’s like you brought your very own friends from the sea with you along for the ride.

Hear me out: I know you’re probably not going to be wearing this bb to go over to your parents’ house, but I’m begging someone to wear it. (Okay fine I’ll do it.) It’s just too beautiful not to include.

Just a ~hint~ of seashells for your next outing. This crochet ensemble with the detailing around the neckline is truly *chef's kiss*.

Iridescent sequins are here to save the day and bring back the Aquamarine styles we know and love.
