I’ve
previously shared my love for ‘normcore’ dressing -
unisex, ‘unpretentious’ dressing at it’s finest. Picture 90s
throwback, low-key cool, with a splash of athleticism...
'Normcore
seeks the freedom that comes with non-exclusivity. It finds liberation in being
nothing special, and realises that adaptability leads to belonging. Normcore is
a path to a more peaceful life,' states K-Hole in Vogue.
One of
the biggest appeals to this trend is really a minimalist approach to fashion.
It’s all about bringing things back to basics and not using fashion
as a way of determining and highlighting gender.
Don’t get
me wrong, I’m the first one to grab a dress of the rack, but day to day,
the appeal of throwing on a pair of boyfriend jeans, a slouchy tee
and a pair of trainers definitely reigns supreme.
To master
this look, I love to reinvent key styles from my other half's side of the
wardrobe or, failing his enthusiasm of me ‘borrowing’ his favourite
sweater, a quick shop in the men’s department works a treat.
When
approaching normcore, opt for sweaters, that double up as dresses, or the
perfect ‘men’s white shirt’, which is one of the most versatile
wardrobe investments. Wear it on its own, tucked into denim or tied up with
midi skirts or shorts. Instant chic!
