The easiest way into mermaidcore is a good top, and this collection has two cotton tees to choose from. The Mermaidcore Ocean Print T-Shirt comes in S to XL. The Mermaidcore Beach Club Tee comes in S to 2XL. Both are listed as cotton, which makes them a sensible base for everyday wear.
Think about the shape you like before you pick a size. If you prefer a close, neat fit, compare the listed measurements to a tee you already own and love, then choose the size that matches. If you like a looser, slouchier look that you can half-tuck, check the chest and length numbers against a tee that fits you the way you want this one to fit. Keep that reference tee in mind rather than relying on the letter alone, because every brand sizes a little differently.
For a simple first outfit, wear either tee with straight or relaxed jeans from your own wardrobe, white or neutral trainers, and one piece of jewellery from this collection. That is enough to make the look read as mermaidcore without turning it into a costume. If you want the tee to look more styled, do a loose front tuck so your waist shows, or knot the hem if the length allows. A tee with plain bottoms also keeps the focus on the graphic or lettering, so you can let it be the main feature.
If you like to wear one tee in several ways, try it open-necked under a shirt, tucked into a skirt, or on its own with a belt. Pick the size that works for the most of those versions, not just the one you are picturing today.

The Mermaidcore Wide-Leg Culottes are listed in denim and in sizes S, M and L. Culottes sit between shorts and trousers, so the shape does a lot of the work. A wide leg gives you movement and an easy, relaxed outline.
The key to wearing a wide leg is balance. If the bottom half has volume, keep the top half a little more fitted or tucked in. A cotton tee tucked in at the front does this nicely, and it shows where the waist of the culottes sits. If you would rather wear a longer top, choose one that ends at the hip and skip anything that hits mid-thigh, which can hide the leg shape.
For shoes, flat sandals, canvas trainers and chunky trainers all work, and each changes the mood. Sandals look light and summery. Trainers make the outfit more casual and walkable. Platform shoes add height if you want the wide leg to look more dramatic. If you are not sure, try the culottes with the shoes you wear most often and look at the full-length mirror result before deciding.
Before ordering, measure the waist and hip of a pair of trousers or shorts you like, laying them flat. Then check the product page for the culottes' measurements, if shown, and compare. Also compare the length: hold a similar garment against your leg and see where it ends, so you know whether you want the hem above, at, or just below the knee. If the page does not list what you need, ask us before buying instead of guessing.
For a polished casual look, add the Mermaidcore Aesthetic Necklace over a plain neckline.

The Mermaidcore Mini Skirt is listed in polyester and in sizes S, M and L. A mini skirt is flexible because you can dress it up or down depending on what goes on top and underneath.
For a casual day, wear it with a cotton tee and trainers. Choose a tee that is roomy enough to tuck without pulling, or one with a hem that sits neatly at the waistband. For a slightly more dressed-up version, swap the trainers for boots and add a lightweight jacket from your own wardrobe. If you want something playful, pair the skirt with the Mermaidcore Graphic Long Sleeve Top, which gives you the graphic on top and a clean line on the bottom.
Comfort matters with shorter lengths, so think about how you move in your day. If you cycle, climb stairs a lot or sit in awkward positions, consider wearing shorts or leggings underneath. That is a personal choice, and the point is to be comfortable rather than distracted.
To pick a size, lay a skirt you already wear flat and measure the waist across, doubling it for the full circumference, and note the length from waistband to hem. Compare those numbers with the measurements on the product page if they are available. If you are between sizes, think about whether you want the skirt to sit at your natural waist or lower on your hips, because that changes how short it feels.
For a mini that feels a little different, try knee-high socks and chunky shoes, then add a hair clip or two to finish.

The Mermaidcore Graphic Long Sleeve Top is listed as cotton and polyester, in S, M and L. Long sleeves are useful all year because they work alone in mild weather and underneath other pieces when it gets cooler.
Here are three ways to layer it. First, wear it alone with the denim culottes for a clean, simple outfit. Second, put a short-sleeve tee over it, such as the Mermaidcore Beach Club Tee, if you want two prints or two colours showing. This works best when the outer tee is a size up or cut generously, so the sleeves underneath do not bunch. Third, wear it under a sleeveless dress or pinafore from your own wardrobe to add coverage and a little more interest to the neckline.
If you are layeringWearing pieces over or under one another to add depth, warmth or contrast., size matters even more. A top you plan to wear under something should feel comfortable through the shoulders and upper arm, because tight sleeves get annoying under a second layer. Compare the listed sleeve length and chest measurements to a long sleeve you already like. If your reference top is a tighter fit, size to match it. If it is looser, go for the size that gets you that same room.
You can also use this top as a base layer under a denim or knit jacket you already own. Keep the cuffs visible if you like the contrast, or push the sleeves up to show a bracelet. Since the top includes polyester, check the care instructions on the product page before you wash it with other things.

There are four accessories in this range that suit stacking: the Mermaidcore Aesthetic Layered Necklace, the Mermaidcore Aesthetic Necklace, the Mermaidcore Shell Bead Bracelet and the Mermaidcore Aesthetic Bracelet. All are listed in one size, shown as Standart, and no material is given on the listings, so check each product page for details before you buy.
A simple rule: let one piece lead. If you wear the layered necklace, which already has more than one line, keep your wrists simple with a single bracelet. If you prefer a single necklace, you have more room to stack bracelets on one or both arms. This keeps the look balanced rather than busy.
Neckline matters. A crew neck tee shows a necklace sitting just above the collar or resting on the fabric. A scoop or open neck gives longer pieces space to hang. If you wear a collared shirt, a shorter necklace may sit better over the top of the collar than under it. Try the necklace on in front of a mirror with the top you plan to wear it with.
Because the size is one-size-style, the number to check is length. Take a piece of jewellery you already own and wear comfortably, lay it flat, and measure it. Then compare that number with any length the product page gives. Do the same for bracelets by measuring the inside of a bracelet that fits your wrist well. If a size is not stated, contact us before ordering.
For daily wear, choose one necklace and one bracelet and leave it there. For an occasion, add the second necklace or a second bracelet, and take one thing off before you leave if it feels like too much.

The Mermaidcore Aesthetic Hair Clips Set is listed as Standart, 3pcs, so you get three clips in the set. That gives you room to try a few different looks without buying separate pieces.
Here are some ways to use three clips. Pin back both sides of your hair at the temples and put the third at the back or on a half-up section. Line all three along one side for a more deliberate, decorated look. Or use one clip to hold a fringe or loose strands away from your face, and keep the other two in your bag as spares.
Your hair type affects how clips behave. Fine or slippery hair may need the clip placed over a small twist or a bit of backcombing for grip. Thick hair may need smaller sections so the clip closes properly. Check the product page for the clip size, then compare it with a clip you already own to see whether it suits your hair.
Clips are an easy way to bring the collection into outfits that are otherwise plain. If you are wearing a simple tee and jeans, a few clips and one bracelet are enough. If you are wearing a statement top, keep the clips low-key and place them where they will not compete with a necklace.
If you like building a whole look around one style, you might also browse the Soft Girl collection for ideas to wear alongside the clips.

Because the range is made up of separate pieces, it is easy to adjust for what the weather is doing. Here are some practical combinations, built only from the pieces listed here and basics from your own wardrobe.
Warm days: wear a cotton tee, either the Mermaidcore Ocean Print T-Shirt or the Beach Club Tee, with the mini skirt or the culottes. Add sandals or trainers, a bracelet and a clip or two. Keep the necklace light so it does not feel heavy against your skin.
Mild days: wear the long sleeve top with the culottes and add a necklace. Carry a light jacket you can take off if the afternoon warms up. The long sleeve gives you coverage without needing a coat.
Cool days: layer a tee over the long sleeve, then add a jacket or knit from your own wardrobe. Put the culottes on with tights or thermal leggings underneath if you want the wide leg without cold ankles, and choose boots or closed shoes. Remember that wide legs can catch wind and rain, so check the hem length against your shoes before heading out.
Wet days: denim can take a long time to dry once it is damp, so think about the hem length of the culottes and where it will meet your shoes. A mid-calf boot, or a shoe that can get wet, helps. If rain is likely, you may prefer the skirt with waterproof boots.
Mixing the pieces in this way also lets you stretch the collection across seasons. If you like the idea of building a bigger rotation, the Aesthetic Clothing collection has more everyday options.

The most reliable way to choose a size is to compare, not guess. We do not offer a universal size conversion, because sizing varies by product and chart availability varies. Always check the chart or measurements on the individual product page, and if the information you need is missing, contact us before you order.
Start by choosing a garment you own that fits the way you want the new piece to fit. For a top, lay it flat and measure across the chest just under the armholes, then from the base of the collar to the hem. For long sleeves, measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff. For the skirt and culottes, measure across the waist, across the hips at the widest point, and from the waistband to the hem. Write the numbers down so you can compare them with the product page.
Remember that flat measurements are half of the full circumference for chest, waist and hips. If a chart gives full circumference, double your flat measurement before comparing. Pay attention to whether the chart measures the garment itself or a body size, because those are not the same.
Think about fit preference. Between sizes, choose the larger if you want room for layeringWearing pieces over or under one another to add depth, warmth or contrast., or the smaller if you like a neater line. The tees go as far as XL on the Ocean Print T-Shirt and 2XL on the Beach Club Tee. The culottes, long sleeve top and mini skirt are listed in S to L, so check the numbers carefully if you are unsure.
Accessories are listed as Standart, so compare length against jewellery you already wear. Once your basket is ready, free standard shipping applies from USD30, and the cart shows the equivalent amount in your selected currency.
If you enjoy mixing styles, you can also look at Harajuku & Kawaii or Y2K for pieces that sit well with these tees and accessories.
