You've probably noticed that there are lots of core trends right now. There's Barbiecore, cowboy core, cottagecore, balletcore, gorpcore and the latest, tenniscore. Usually this would be the part where we'd explain why everyone is giving trends the same last name, but, frankly, we have no idea. How we long for the simpler days when if something was in fashion, it was core-less and just referred to by its first name. Like florals or fringe. Heck, we'll even settle for first and middle names, see no pants and quiet luxury. Regardless, we're betting you bought into several of these core movements probably with the assumption that they only belong in one category. Think again.
Combining cores can be done. Just as long as you don't go overboard. For instance, sporting a tennis skirt with a cowboy hat and a floral, ruffled blouse is overkill. The trick is to merge two cores into one outfit. No core stuffing allowed. That way, you can mix and match your newly acquired item thereby getting more bang for your rather limited buck.
