Thread: Normcore Fashion Trend

  1. #1

    Cool Normcore Fashion Trend

    At last, I am finally "with it" and in front of a trend. "Normcore" is now recognized as a cool fashion statement. Simon Doonan, a fashion commentator for Barney of New York City has recognized this exciting new fashion style. An article by Noonan, "The Horrors of Normcore", explains how Dickies, Carhartts, sports shoes without logos, T-shirts without pictures or clever sayings and similar items define this exciting new trend. The article is worth searching for.

    Having missed out on dressforsuccess, preppy, hippy, hipster, metrosexual, urbanguerrilla, rambowannabe, pseudomountainman and many other styles, I have finally found my defining fashion identity. I am no longer boring but functional, I am "normcore". Right On.

    If that means wearing nothing but Dickies carpenter pants, Walls Work-wear henley shirts, FoTL pocket Ts is normcore, then I guess I'm a slave to fashion.

    Well hells bells that looks like the whole mess of us at the Jamboree last fall!

    I don't even have to worry about the prices, I already have a lifetime supply of pocket tees, jeans, jackets and boots.

    I did not know it was a fashion trend, I thought it was what you wore when you did not give a rat's a$$ what the fashion trend was!!!!

    This just shows how ahead of the fashion trend you boys are. We're talking about trend setting. That means wearing your knickers however you see fit. If your drawers are a crack below your waist line then you're one of the everyday folks and not a trend setter. Unless of course your waist line has fallen over the years. Then you're excused.

    I'm glad you brought that up. There are those in this world that try their darndest to make us conform to some "rules" they envision. My wife is one of those. Just because my underoos have a few holes in them she thinks the should be tossed in the trash. What a wasteful thing to do. She clearly doesn't understand aerodynamic ventilation.

    But the Dog does. She gets the blame when your ventilation goes aerodynamic.
