It's time to channel your inner Jennifer Garner.

From cottagecore to Barbiecore, there are quite a lot of style aesthetics that have emerged in the past few years. The latest one is called rom-com core, and according to Pinterest's trend report, it's going to be big in 2023.

What exactly is rom-com core?

As its name suggests, rom-com core is all about dressing like you're the "main character" of a rom-com film. "In 2023, Gen Z and Millennials will romanticize their closets with slip dresses, tube tops, cargo pants, and claw clips," Pinterest reported, noting that people have particularly been taking inspo from rom-coms from the early '00s.

On the social network, "2000s girl", "rhinestone dress", and "cool girl aesthetic outfits" have become trending searches.

"Y2K fashion has been trending for a while. Now, people are chasing more than an aesthetic: They want that main character energy that defined the movie industry in the 2000s," Pinterest explained. "That means upgrading everyday moments and making small habits, such as trips to the coffee shop, feel like a scene from their favorite romcom. But this time, they’re the star."
