EN: thrift store aesthetic
It's not just wearing thrifted clothes, it's a whole vibe. Think mismatched patterns, vintage silhouettes, and a general look that screams 'I have a unique personality and I didn't get this from a fast-fashion megastore.' It's the aesthetic of sustainable, budget-conscious, and creative fashionistas.
From Tagalog 'ukay' + English '-core' (a suffix used to denote a type of aesthetic, e.g., 'cottagecore').
ROOT MEANING: To rummage; To dig through
A Gen Z internet term to describe a specific fashion subculture.
