There is a moment just before sunset when the ocean shifts from blue to liquid gold. The water becomes glassy, the light hits the shore with an ethereal glow, and for a fleeting second, the line between reality and mythology blurs. This is the essence of Mermaidcore resort wear.
Far removed from the costumey interpretations of the past, the 2025 evolution of the mermaid aesthetic is sophisticated, architectural, and undeniably luxurious. It is not about dressing up; it is about embodying the siren—opulent, mysterious, and effortlessly glamorous.
Enter the Océane Collection by L’Animal. Designed for the woman who demands more than just swimwear, this collection elevates the aquatic aesthetic into high-fashion territory, merging 14k gold-plated hardware with the iridescent beauty of real mother of pearl.
Here is your ultimate guide to mastering the luxury Mermaidcore look this season.
True luxury lies in the details. While high street brands might mimic the look of the ocean with loud prints, high-end resort wear captures the feeling of the sea through texture, precious materials, and fluid silhouettes.
No resort wardrobe is complete without a statement piece that captures the soft, hazy light of early morning on the beach. The Soléa Dress is exactly that.
Eschewing busy prints for pure, understated luxury, the Soléa is dipped in a very pale, sun-bleached yellow hue—reminiscent of champagne foam or pale citrine. Its beauty lies in its simplicity and its ability to make your tan glow. The silhouette is fluid and graceful, designed to move with the breeze. It is the perfect "less is more" moment for a sophisticated beachside lunch, embodying the quiet confidence of the modern siren.
For a look that merges aquatic softness with architectural structure, the Bleu Dress is your essential daytime companion.
This isn't just a slip dress; it is an engineered piece of fashion. Crafted from a very light, airy blue knit that mirrors the cloudless sky over the ocean, it features a built-in corset bodysuit that sculpts and defines the figure. It offers the support of shapewear with the effortless look of a resort knit. It’s fresh, youthful, and perfect for a day spent exploring a coastal town or lounging at a high-end beach club.
If the day belongs to soft pastels, the night belongs to the Dorè Bodysuit and Skirt Set. This is, without question, the crown jewel of the Mermaidcore aesthetic for evening wear.
As the sun sets and the lights of the resort flicker on, the Dorè set comes alive. The skirt is drenched in gold sequins that mimic the shimmering scales of a mythical creature. It catches every flicker of candlelight and moonbeam, creating a liquid metal effect that is mesmerizing in the dark.
Paired with its matching bodysuit, it creates a seamless, gilded silhouette that screams high-glamour resort dinner. It is opulent, radiant, and undeniably magical—the closest a modern woman can get to being a real-life mermaid walking on land.
Swimwear in the Mermaidcore aesthetic serves as your armour. It should feel structured, secure, and adorned.
Nothings says "ocean goddess" quite like the Perle Bikini. This isn't just a swimsuit; it is jewelry for the body. Featuring genuine mother of pearl swimwear accents, the Perle reflects the sunlight with every movement, creating a mesmerizing shimmer that mimics the surface of the water.
The inclusion of mother of pearl accents adds a level of sophistication that elevates this bikini from poolside attire to a fashion statement. It is designed for the woman who lounges on the yacht deck, champagne in hand, radiating an aura of untouchable luxury.
For those who prefer a subtler, yet equally opulent approach, the Nacreé Bikini focuses on the texture and luster of the shell itself ("nacre" is the French term for mother of pearl).
The Nacreé fit is engineered to sculpt and support, proving that the Mermaidcore aesthetic does not sacrifice function for form. The integration of shell elements serves as a nod to nature’s most beautiful architecture, turning a functional garment into a wearable piece of art.
To fully commit to the Océane vibe, your styling should remain "wet" and glowing:
The Mermaidcore trend is not fleeting; it is a celebration of the ocean's timeless beauty. It invites us to dress with the same fluidity, mystery, and opulence as the sea itself.
Whether you are drawn to the sculptural beauty of the Bleu Dress or the liquid gold shimmer of the Dorè Set, the Océane Collection by L’Animal offers a passport to a world where every day feels like a luxury escape.
