What Is The Fisherman Core Aesthetic?

Hello, sailor! Fisherman core is a term coined by this year's Pinterest Predicts for an aesthetic inspired by sailors, the seaside, and all things maritime. Described as 'a laid-back marine attitude...', fisherman core style couples the relaxed informality of beachy dressing and trawlermen's workwear with the more preppy sailor aesthetic - safe to say, we're hooked.

Here at Joanie, we don't often jump on microtrends. We believe that everyone should curate their own wardrobe based around personal style rather than what's currently perceived as trendy, collecting pieces that will be worn and loved for years to come: buying less, but buying better.

That being said, the enduring appeal of maritime dressing makes the fisherman core aesthetic seem like less of a passing fancy, and more of a 're-branding' of marine-inspired style.

Much like the coastal grandmother style that appealed to us a couple of years ago (cosy cardigans? beachy linens? Yes, please!), embracing fisherman core means diving head first into practical and preppy dressing: think sailor collars, classic stripes, and statement knits to wrap up warm in.
