Overview
Mermaidcore is siren energy: scales, shells, pearls and wet-look hair. The classic mistake is dressing like a costume mermaid — judges score the fashion version higher, meaning a fishtail-silhouette skirt and iridescent fabrics rather than a literal tail. Keep everything in one oceanic color family and let the hair do half the work.
