Mermaidcore fashion and beauty made its appearance last summer thanks to the release of Disney's live-action The Little Mermaid and it's made its way back into our wardrobes this year. The trend is all about mermaid-themed buys including shell jewellery, fishnet dresses and metallic hues. However, this year the trend has moved away slightly from the mermaid aspect and is instead heavily focused on shells in particular.
If you're jetting off on a sunny holiday, shell accessories are a great way to add a beachy twist to your look. From statement jewellery to printed clothing and sea-themed handbags from brands including Never Fully Dressed, Kurt Geiger and Oliver Bonas, we've found our favourite buys on the high street starting from £9.
