Hot off of the heels of 'Brat Girl Summer' there's a new aesthetic in town and it's being led by none other than Swedish supermodel royalty, Elsa Hosk.
The sartorial style muse has unofficially coined it a 'Piratecore Autumn' and we’re honestly kind of here for it, especially with Halloween quickly approaching.
What is Piratecore?

Pairing a set of micro mini shorts with a longline fitted vest top, a pair of knee-high boots and a Hermès Kelly bag, the all-black look was far from boring.

How to get the look:
Essentially, ‘piratecore’ as a trend is a more elevated, fashion-forward version of Kiera Knightly and Penélope Cruz’s characters in Pirates of the Caribbean, but still keeping within the same lane.
Think knee-high black boots, frilly bloomers, head scarfs, pendant necklaces, corsets, blouses and gold accessories that mimic buried treasure.

Whether or not you are styling the autumnal aesthetic on the daily or simply as a one-off for October 31st, might we suggest you take style cues from the founding mother of the trend and keep on theme with an all-black ensemble with a fashion-fuelled flair?
