Since Brangelina, we’ve been inventing neologisms to cleverly and effectively describe the union between two entities, be it celebrities, behavior (see: friendzone), aesthetics, or collaboration. Obviously, fashion is hard at work using these neologisms to describe current trends. Hence the term “blockette”, which itself comes from the compound word “double core”, indicating the use of football jerseys in a non-football environment, mixed with the term “coquette”, which indicates feminine, naive and flirtatious. The term blokette obviously originated on TikTok and mixes the various contrasting elements of the two aesthetics.
The undisputed queen of the blokette trend is Bella Hadid, who favors 2000s-inspired clothing and pairs contrasting pieces and accessories. Bella always has an avant-garde stylistic approach and one of her most famous ensembles pairs an Adidas Samba along with a plaid pencil skirt, oversized pullover, braids and a teddy bear pendant necklace. And with just one look, Bella Hadid manages to be sporty, weird, but at the same time exquisitely feminine.
There are many people chasing the blocker trend this year, and even New Jeans with their “Super Shy” video gave us a try, including pleated miniskirts, ponytails, knee-length leggings and football-print microtops.
For her part, even Julia Fox, a champion of eccentric street style, could not ignore this trend. During Milan Fashion Week in February, the Italian-American actress and model wore a blue soccer jersey that featured a white Valle print along with the number 22, paired with a deconstructed white lace miniskirt, college socks and puffy slippers. .
Rihanna, on the other hand, has been following this style for several years, and in one of her public appearances, along with A$AP Rocky, she wore an oversized T-shirt, red jacket, blue Miu Miu gloves as a dress. and heeled sandals.
But the Harajuku Girls, who accompanied Gwen Stefani in every music video of the 2000s, from the song of the same name to “Hollaback Girl”, were the very first to come up with this trend. It was customary for them to pair bows, miniskirts, frills and tulle with sporty tank tops, bringing the iconic and eccentric style of Tokyo’s most creative district to MTV.
