Feeling a bit of Ted Lasso nostalgia or caught up in the unstoppable wave of women’s football obsession?
These days, TikTok is buzzing, with everyone diving headfirst into the world of football (or soccer in the States).
But instead of chasing after soccer balls a la Pelé or Cristiano Ronaldo, the TikTok crew is all about bringing football culture and gear into the limelight—with a surprisingly fashion-forward twist.
Enter the ‘blokecore’ aesthetic.
What Is The Blokecore Fashion Trend?
Blokecore is a fashion trend that recently gained popularity after Kim Kardashian, Hailey Bieber, and Bella Hadid were sported rocking some football (soccer in the States) ensembles.
However, In The Know attributes the beginning of the blokecore aesthetic to TikToker Brandon Huntley, who ironically coined the term by rocking his own football jersey, nothing-special pair of jeans, and some Adidas sneakers in a video on the platform.

As with all the TikTok trends, though, the irony of the mundaneness of the blokecore aesthetic (which is best represented by a vintage football jersey, a pair of old washed-out, straight-leg jeans, and Adidas sneakers) disappeared as it became more viral.
For some, the trend became a proud way to show off their casual, basic-bih attire. For others, it became a way to hop on to the World Cup bandwagon for the sake of fashion.
And while the blokecore aesthetic is mostly a male-oriented trend, stylists argue that women have every right to wear it too.
So, if you’ve been looking for a way to pay ode to your favorite football team or have a London trip coming up and want to infuse a bit of British culture into your travel fits, below are some of the best and ECT-approved blokecore fashion picks of 2023.
