What is corpcore?

Corpcore has quickly become a defining trend in 2024, blending traditional business attire with personal touches that reflect the modern evolving workplace. As many professionals balance hybrid schedules or remote work, the style prioritizes comfort and versatility while maintaining a polished, office-ready aesthetic.

Staple pieces in this style include blazers (sometimes oversized or cropped), wide-leg tailored trousers, and skirts with unique elements like asymmetry or wrap designs. Classic shirts and blouses get feminine twists with interesting details, such as unconventional buttons or subtle ruffles. Footwear ranges from structured loafers to sleek sneakers, offering a mix of formal and casual styles. Simple, chic accessories, like belts or minimalist jewelry, are key to completing the look.
