Support Your Team: Piece Your Blokecore Puzzle Together

Who said blokecore was only for blokes?

Press the rewind button - Blokecore emerged when “blokes”, guys that are passionate about football, began incorporating their teams’ colours and logos into their everyday attire, demonstrating not only club pride but also the beginnings of a shifting boundary between sports culture and fashion.

Contemporary campaigns heavily draw inspiration from the nostalgic era in which Blokecore began, with jerseys and pieces almost indistinguishable from the vintage designs and aesthetics of the time. Fast forward to the present and a similar movement is hitting the street and screens around the world – many fashion houses come up with their own version of a sporty tee, such as Prada, Gucci, Balenciaga, and Acne Studios.

Wearing this trend isn’t just for die-hard fans. You can still get into the spirit with your football-inspired fit and watch from the sidelines. Whether you’re a football fan or in it for the aesthetic, find yourself a football-inspired jersey and wear it the way you want to tap into the blokecore trend.

Wanting to add Blokecore to your roster? Say less. Here’s the iconic formula to make sure you’re hitting the mark every time while sticking to the retro essence of it all.

Bella Hadid

While Hadid may be the patron saint of the Blokecore movement, labels such as Martine Rose and Wales Bonner have been long-time champions of the style. In case you haven’t noticed, there’s also a sister trend to bloke-core: blokette-core. Blokette meshes feminine fits such as skirts, jewelry, and delicate patterns with bold colours and prints of soccer shirts.

Looking to add an element of feminine flair to your look? Bella Hadid’s got you – Pair your choice of football-inspired shirt and midi skirt with a cute shoulder bag and tie the look together with a pair of kitten heels.

Evan Mock

Mock is the poster boy of a skateboarder with a taste for high fashion. Combining two in his personal style. His signature look: a pair of shorts, long socks, a cropped tee is the perfect example of Mock’s ode to skateboarding through his looks.

However, let’s make a slight twist to match the blokecore aesthetic. Take cues from Evan’s effortless style by tucking your football-inspired shirt into loose jeans or cargo pants with your belt of choice. To accessorise, stack on some necklace and rings, or throw on a beanie or cap, and finish off your look with a cool pair of sneakers to complete the look.

Paul Mescal

Over the last few years, Paul Mescal has firmly cemented his status as Hollywood’s most captivating embodiment of effortless, aspirational style.

To nail Paul Mescal’s signature poise of effortless style, temper your football- inspired shirt with a considered pairing of micro shorts. Remember, thoughtful accessorizing is paramount to elevate this trend into a definitive fashion statement - think sleek leather belts and elevated high-rise socks. Complete the look with a sharp set of black loafers and a pair of statement sunglasses for an air of modern, off-duty allure.

New Jeans Hanni

The New Jeans girls nailed the blokette trend, which mixes hyper-feminine touches like bows and frills with athletic wear, in one of their viral hits, Super Shy. Channel the spirit of dopamine dressing and recreate the look by starting with a cropped or full-length, oversized shirt from your favourite football team. Next, pair the top with baggy jeans or cargo trousers. Finally, accessorise with sunglasses, ribbons, legwarmers or dainty jewellery for a dynamic and energising look.
