I don't understand the "normcore" trend. Why is it called normcore and not "casual"? When I wear jeans and a crop top, I don't call my outfit normcore but instead, "a casual outfit". The fact that the normcore trend has been commercialized upsets me. In the beginning, the idea behind dressing normcore was to start fresh. It was an attempt to restore normality into one's outfit by wearing basics and rediscovering casual fashion. However, this idea has been "bought" by brands with the intention of making profit in selling basic clothing. If we buy clothes to look basic or normal, it defeats the purpose of the orignial normcore trend. Personally, I feel that to dress normcore, you simply need to sift through your clothes and pick out an outfit that for you, not for stores, is normcore because each individual has a different perception of what is basic or not for them.
Je ne comprends pas la mode du "normcore". Pourquoi est-ce appelé ainsi et non pas simplement "un look décontracté"? Quand je porte un jean et un crop top, je n'appelle pas ça "normcore", mais simplement "décontracté". Le fait que la mode du normcore soit maintenant commercialisée me déplaît. Au début, le but de s'habiller normcore était un retour à zéro. Ce retour à la normalité, aux bases du confort et de la mode du décontracté, est exploité par des marques qui veulent en tirer un bénéfice. Or, si nous achetons des vêtements qui donnent l'impression de ne pas être recherchés, nous nous contredisons. Je trouve que pour s'habiller normcore, il faut chercher dans ses tiroirs et se composer un look qui est normcore pour nous, pas pour les magasins, car chaque personne a une perception différente de ce qui est décontracté ou pas.

I just chuckle when I see brands trying to commercialise normcore - if someone wants to buy into it they're more than welcome to, but it's all a little too "try hard" for me! x Rebecca - itscohen.co.uk
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly right. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if they want to buy into normcore, instead of doing it themselves, so be it.
DeleteAww this outfit look so amazing? Love the overcoat and the hat, so adorable. x

DeleteYes, you're quite right. Coining the term "normcore" is clearly a marketing strategy when in reality, we're talking about wardrobe staples, not everyday basics, rather everyday essentials :) and by the way, I adore your coat. Such a plush colour. And those shoes. Beautiful details.
ReplyDeleteYou worded exactly right! Thanks for reading
