treeship i feel ur just talking about workwear+streetwear intersection and rugged thrifty cues in everyday looks rather than whatever people are calling normcore
― dylannn, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 02:20 (ten years ago) link
from what i understand workwear and streetwear is allowed as long as it's un-contrarian, and that it's young, pretty people wearing those things + dudes named norm.

what if you're normcore now but now a month from now?

xp phillip n., "un-contrarian" is the key thing here. to really pull off the look i think you need to somehow have an fashionable aura that transcends your drab clothing, and makes them stand out as incongruous. honestly, most ironic/hipster fashion has always been about this: from ridiculous mustaches to trucker hats, the point has always been to seem cool and attractive in spite of your clothing and in this way prove how cool and attractive you really are. anyone can look cool in stylish clothes.

If I were in my 20s, I might possibly qualify as normcore. But I am old. I do not fit into any fashion category, because I no longer exist.
― Aimless, Saturday, 19 April 2014 03:09 (ten years ago) link
What is this shit? I don't even understand. It's a fashion trend about looking like Dads?

I say bring back the elastic-cuffed gray sweatpants and the puffy white trainers and let's just all be done with fashion for good.

Oh my god sweatpants. A friend was saying she met a hot guy on the train and the really important thing was how good his legs looked in his sweatpants. No.

you can't....tell how someone's legs look in sweatpants. i am confused.

That makes sweatpants a clear benefit to those who are walking around fully aroused.

I think it's very hard to pull off this look in a way that doesn't just come off as "I am a dork."
― Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Sunday, 20 April 2014 03:01 (ten years ago) link
That's why I am regarded widely, by those who care about fashion and who carefully choose the 'look' of their clothes as a well thought out ensemble, as a dork.
― Aimless, Sunday, 20 April 2014 03:10 (ten years ago) link
i'm all about this, especially as a license to wear my ll bean windbreaker. i also like those really 90s-looking, washed out denim shirts.

a salesperson at lenscrafters trying to talk me into pretty cool, kind of retro 70s sunglasses that nonetheless seemed more like women's sunglasses than men's sunglasses said that it would work with my "hipster" look. i replied that i thought my personal aesthetic was more "neutral" than anything. she considered this for a second and then said, "i like this. i am going to say this from now on instead of saying i have no style."

No, I'm what "normcore" seeks to reify (or understand, really, because it's too young to have been there).
But also not. Really, wgaf.

i was going to order some things now that they ship to the us but i don't know if the quality is any good. i like the style though
― seriously, THIS GUY (daria-g), Friday, 26 September 2014 02:36 (nine years ago) link
yeah. its actually owned by h&m
the quality is basically midrange mass produced stuff slightly better than like banana republic and club monaco but way less than quality heritage brands or real designer stuff. that said a friend of mine has some of their shoes theyve held up really well and look fantastic
i like their stuff too and i always bring lots of back when i go to europe but i feel like w/ us shipping and the nyc store it will kinda just be like uniqlo or w/e now
