We’ve been wanting to be part of their world for a while, so naturally we’ve started dressing like the majestic sea creatures in real time. Mermaidcore is officially back, baby! The trend has been gaining momentum for a while, credited to the beauty that is Halle Bailey’s new role in the upcoming live-action Disney film The Little Mermaid. If you grew up watching Ariel you might be expecting the aesthetic to be reminiscent of those mermaid tails from the film, but over the years the fashion trend has grown legs of its own and become a super chic, wearable aesthetic.

From a range of sunset- and ocean-inspired hues to shimmering scale-like textures and golden, sandy pieces—don’t be surprised if mermaidcore is all you see everyone wearing this summer. For those who plan to be on a tropical vacation, you’ll fit right in. And if you don’t have any vacay plans in the books yet, don’t worry. There are tons of ways to still incorporate the look into your everyday wardrobe (sans shell bra).

Give us pearls! Scalloped edges! Iridescence! Ahead, our 13 favorite wardrobe additions that fit the mermaidcore trend.

Pearl Body Chain Necklace

If you’re headed to a night out or a special event where you’re wanting to make a statement—this pearl chain necklace will do just that.

Although this is technically a cover-up, we won’t say anything if you decide to wear it to dinner. It’s a lovely shade and the twist detail gives a bit of mystique only a gorge mermaid could (that’s you).
