While Y2K-inspired trends continue to dominate the fashion landscape, Barbiecore takes the nostalgic obsession one step further.

With that pop-culture phenomenon shaping the zeitgeist, Barbie-pink looks remain in the forefront, on and off the red carpet. Cardi B embraced the trend in a head-to-toe Chanel…

But celebrities like Sofia Richie, Hailey Bieber, and Meghan Markle - what with her strong sartorial influence on fans - are making sure that the ballerina flat sticks around for a while. Also spotted on many spring 2024 runways, including Tibi, where they were teamed with ankle socks in the same monochrome hue; Proenza Schouler, where they came in a sporty leather mesh; and Tory Burch, where they emitted both high octane glamour with gold hardware and effortlessness with a rounded edge, ballerina flats are reigning supreme well into the new year.

Depending on your inspiration (pop culture, cartoons, celebrities, etc.), start by considering your team’s dress code, then take the styling details from there - toning down certain elements as you see fit. Especially given how your atmosphere and coworkers might have adjusted since the pandemic, it’s probably best to keep over-the-top accessories to a minimum. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun by keeping your outfit sensible and classy. Consider a play on Jackie Kennedy, for example, who wore plenty of monochrome skirt suits, pillbox hats, gloves, headscarves, and ‘70s-style sunglasses, most of which you probably have lying around your…
