It's so bored with being challenged with new proportions, hem lines, rounded shoulders, beading, zippers, magic velcro and asymmetrical bias non-bias cuts that it has adapted the looks of the normal people as the trend of the moment.
It's called normcore and sartorially defined by a man wearing a bespoke suit with designer sneakers. A woman in her chic Celine sac dress paired with Givenchy Birkenstocks also falls under the term. It's the new ugly beautiful.
Imagine the cast of Seinfeld glorified to Chanel status...who produced its own version of Haute Couture normcore sneakers, which cost as much as Seinfeld's NYC apartment with a waiting list to boot.
I've been a fan of the normcore movement until it's reached this current tipping point of mass saturation. Now every 5th grader with a credit card and kid's version of the Kenzo sweatshirt is normcore. The luster has faded.
YES
If you're tired of being challenged by fashion. Then ride this normcore wave as hard and long as possible. Because when it crashes, you're going to look as exciting like a tired episode of Seinfeld.
NO
Normcore and looking sexy is not possible. A slutty tank top with tight fitting sweatpants just doesn't work...not even at the Mall of America food court.
MAYBE
Alexander McQueen's reincarnation will come to the scene already and make everyone dream again.
