Normcore - Fashion's most DIY Do-able Trend

Slothwear, Slob Wave, Athleisure, Normcore , Monodrobe. Call it what you will, but stylized blandness is in full fashion bloom. If feeling comfortable and nap-ready at all times is your thing, then you are terrifically chic this season. There are scores of Pinterest boards devoted to Snuggie-worthy styles to prove it.

Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 runways mastered the art of cocoon-wear and oversized, cozy comfort dressing. The great news about this trend is it’s totally DIY’able.

You don’t need $2,000 for Chloé sweats to look like you are “accepting and embracing our similarities as people.” (That’s the definition of Normcore as coined by trend forecasting company, K-hole.)

Normcore was the most searched fashion trend term in 2014 according to Dazed.  According to K-hole “It’s all about having a hyper-adaptable personality and being able to fit in wherever you are, as opposed to a conscious aesthetic choice.”
