When it comes to iconic New Yorkers who have (knowingly or not) influenced some of today’s most prominent fashion trends, there are quite a few names you can include in the conversation. But long before Carrie Bradshaw and Blair Waldorf graced our TV screens as some of the city’s most beautiful and iconic characters, we’d argue that Eloise served as the blueprint — and lately, TikTok seems to agree.
Through the beloved novels of Kay Thompson, the wild heroine of children’s books evolved into a literary giant with her series of hilarious misadventures around New York’s most luxurious hotel. Now, with TikTok’s latest Plazacore trend, avid readers and fashionistas alike are honoring the precocious drama queen with an aesthetic all her own, and we’re totally here for it.
Unlike other clinical and TikTok-specific aesthetics (we’re looking at you, Barbiecore), it’s actually super easy to tap into the Plazacore trend this fall—no fancy hotel stay or extended stay at The Plaza required! From tweed jackets and miniskirts to lounge slippers, turtleneck tops, evening bags and headbands, the Plazacore aesthetic is flowing with plenty of polished and preppy styles that are not only totally on-trend for the new season, but also available. to shop on the cheap (we love that about us!).
Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best Plazacore fashion pieces to buy for under $100. Long after the Plazacore aesthetic fades, we’re confident you’ll continue to seek out these polished pieces year after year.
