Unicorncore

Unicorncore is an aesthetic based on unicorns. This aesthetic gives off colorful and playful vibes, similar to Kidcore. This aesthetic got slightly popular with younger children and teens from the 2010s to today. One of the most iconic things from this aesthetic was the viral Unicorn Frappuccino, which was available at Starbucks for only a few days in April 2017. This aesthetic can help spread positivity as well. Unicorncore also encompasses magic, purity, pride, diversity, freedom, innocence, healing, positivity, joy, and hope. Although the Japanese aesthetic Yumekawa and its offshoot Fairykei use a similar color palette and often feature unicorn motifs, they are still their own individual aesthetics which shouldn’t be confused with the western Unicorncore aesthetic.

The aesthetic usually incorporates finding unicorns, magic books, and myths about unicorns. Magic can play a fun part in Unicorncore, as Unicorns are mythical and magical creatures. People who like this aesthetic tend to love quiet spaces, magical areas, nature, flowers, rainbow paths, and trees. Related visuals and interests are reading, bright colors, glitter, sparkles, and flowers.

Visuals[]

Most visuals consist of sparkles, glitter, and anything else relating to the average unicorn visual. Colors like purple, pink and rainbow/pastel themes merge with these visuals to create the unicorncore aesthetic. Virtually every unicorn core aesthetic picture has a unicorn in it, showing the purpose of the aesthetic.

Different subgenres can show different visuals too, like Grunge Unicorn*, which mixes darker colors like black and grey with average unicorncore colors (i.e. white, pink, and rainbow). A unicorn can also appear in these sub-visuals, be it a drawing, mask or altered image fitting the grunge visual. You can learn more about these sub-visuals in the sub-genre section.

Fashion[]

Unicorncore fashion can be very colorful and fun, full of sequins and glitter. A common part of Unicorn outfits is denim, be it denim shorts or a denim jacket to go with a colorful shirt or skirt. Many younger children have this fashion style, but any age is fine!
