Dragoncore is an aesthetic that rose to relevance together with other more mythical and nature-related aesthetics, during the 2010s. It is seen similar to Goblincore and Crowcore in that all are associated with appreciating and collecting things of importance. The difference lies primarily in the types of things collected. Goblins moreso collect less-appreciated aspects of nature and crows collect things that catch the eye, while dragons usually collect "worthy" treasures. These can be coins, precious stones, and expensive jewelry, but they can also be things of symbolic or sentimental value.

Due to its relatively recent creation, it hasn't yet properly developed the true specific values of what being Dragoncore is, commonly overlapping with other aesthetics, but this can also been seen as a good thing, as there aren't a lot of rules to go by, allowing the people of this aesthetic to express themselves however they like. This is part of why Dragoncore is a favorite of the otherkin, therian and LGBTQIA+ communities, with the themes of not applying to usual gender labels.

It seems to have generally a respect of nature and its beauty, and a more elegant, refined well-kept vibe, compared to the messy aesthetic of its counterpart, more dim and darker lighting as well, and an appreciation of draconic artwork and media of all sorts.

Dragons are connected to decadence, opulence and elegance. Showing off your collection (be it a hoard of material treasures or one of knowledge) without it being distasteful is an important part of Dragoncore.

The values of Dragoncore are connected to the traits and personalities that are usually attributed to dragons in legends and modern media.

This is a list of common fashion items in the aesthetic. It can be separated into two different takes on Dragoncore. One is centered around cosplaying and LARPing, while the second includes modern fashion choices that encapsulate the themes and values of Dragoncore. Both make use of large amounts of jewelry.

Elemental associations are optional, and are not necessary parts of Dragoncore.
