It's a trend. Maybe it will be shortlived, but I doubt it.

You see, trends don't come from nothing. They're always something a small group already does, and then for some unknown reason, it blows up and spreads all over the world.

In the case of normcore, NY art students and hipsters have been doing it for years. That's the small group starting the trend.

Now, it's suddenly spreading out. May vanish again soon, but I doubt that:
>It's cheap
>It's accessibke
>It's comfy
>It fits right into the 90s revival
>It's the antithesis to the skinny jeans paradigm that was so widespread in the last years
>It takes and incorporates things that are already big trends, like big-ass 90s trainers and sweatpants

So yeah, I think it will become really big. Maybe even the new status quo. Sure, we can't imagine that right now, but in2004, we also couldn't imagine beards and skinny jeans becoming high fashion.

george has a series of white collar jobs in the show. real estate agent, executive assisant to the traveling secretary of the yankees, sales person at kruger industrial sanding, playnow, etc. between jobs he lives off his savings. if he is really short he moves back in with his parents

"avant garde" is an umbrella term used by fuccbois on here to describe something that isn't regular pants and tshirts. The problem with you nerds is you are too concerned with the labeling of styles.

you think "avant garde" means wearing all black and high tops. You say "avant garde was something else 10 years ago" yet you don't even know what avant garde is, and you have no idea of the fashion from previous decades.

if a huge ass fucking company like H&M is pushing this all black (or how you describe it, "avant garde") style, then it's obviously going places.

[Anonymous No.7904052]

This is a lesson in lazy media as much as in unappealing fashion.

Normcore has reached the tipping point. The gloss on the style is dressing like on "Seinfeld."

Young people who consider themselves trend setters dress like idiots every day, but that doesn't necessarily deserve press. Media outlooks have collectively decided that this style represents an important development that deserves coverage. Just take a look at the results of a google search of normcore

All these articles within days of each other. As if not having your click-bait take on normcore is some kind of unpardonable offense.

As for the style itself, it's aggressively boring, which, after a decade-plus of gender-bending male fashion, I'll take as a positive development. And if everyone's wearing pale denim shirts and New Balance sneakers, it'll be that much easier to dress stylishly.

>mfw someone takes a NYT cultural piece seriously around me
Just look at the album, normcore seriously looks like shit on most of these people. Good luck

I agree wholeheartedly.

However I'm not about looking "plebby" or "bland", I am passionate about fashion and overall aesthetics. I guess what's important is not being a "tryhard". Sometimes avant-garde fashion or even streetwear to some extent is too alien, too "saute-à-l'œil" (don't know the english term so bear with me).

Simple, normal looking fits, in my opinion, transcend the superficial impact of more extravagant outifits. It allows more emphasis on both the entire allure but also individual pieces. It isn't as heavy at first, but allows further exploration.

Once again, this is just my perception of things.

In the end, what's important I guess is to dress according to your personality and your tastes, not branding a certain aesthetic with a certain name and limitating yourself to that look. Exploring different styles is the epitome of artistic liberty.

I actually thought the K-Hole piece was pretty good, even if it has been blown out of proportion a bit. Especially the bit about generational linearity being diminished. I mean, my parents do pretty much the same shit as me; they own the same technology, to an extent shop at the same places. The generations above us aren't shocked, or don't find it hard to understand current fashion trends as they've seen it all before.

Also, "normcore" or whatever isn't just about dressing like Jerry Seinfeld or whatever, it's transferable to whatever situation you're in. So if you live in South London, dressing like Jerry Seinfeld wouldn't be normcore
