Where Does Blokecore Come From?
Fashion is all about revolution, and Blokecore is IT. It all started with rebel vibes on the soccer field, and now it’s the look to beat — or join.
It’s the ultimate blend of high-fashion and athletic wear, with inspiration from the jerseys and culture of European soccer players. This street-style narrative challenges conventional fashion with its unique blend of rugged masculinity and artistic flair.
The term “bloke” is British slang for a close male friend, like “bro” or “dude” in American English. In late 2021, an American TikToker playfully introduced Blokecore as a humorous nod to British football YouTubers who use the term. This trend exploded on TikTok, and it’s been a hot trend ever since.
Blokecore draws inspiration from 1970s and 1980s Hooligan culture embraced by UK football supporters, as well as the Grime music genre. We think it’s giving modern Sporty Spice.
Like all great fashion movements, it had its start in underground fashion circles before hitting the mainstream and making fashion fans hype all over the world. Today, we see Blokewear on the runway and IRL, with luxury sportswear taking it up several notches in the high fashion scene.
