Anna McCormickNo fuss, minimalistic dressing has never been more in fashion – perfect for those of us who like to roll straight out of bed and go go go!
For those of you who are unaware of this new unisex fashion trend, it’s characterised by ‘average-looking’ clothing and is a combination of the words ‘normal’ and ‘hardcore’. Apparently, looking like you’ve made no effort with your outfit what-so-ever has never been hotter (good job I’m writing this in my sweats then!). Think JD-Sports –meets-Zara-meets the 90s and you’ll have it bang on every time.
A jumpsuit is the key piece for any wardrobe, forever more. It screams effortlessly boyish, and keeping it simple couldn’t be, well, simpler. Team with gunmetal accessories and retro trainers and you’ll max out the laid-back Normcore vibe. Throw on a subtle but statement leather jacket if you feel you need too for a Scandi-style look.
Keep your colour palette clean and minimal, blacks, greys, beige, creams, white’s, navy’s and denim. Despite every fashion rule in the book, don’t be scared to clash navy and black. Your trusty skinny jeans will never ever let you down, especially on the quest for easy-cool, and you know that dull grey loose jumper you probably chucked to the back of the wardrobe? GET IT OUT. Invest in a funky pair of New Balance because they look great with everything. Another perfect outfit has been created. It okay, you can thank me later.
The beauty of this fabulous new trend is that it was made for those of us who live in trainers, jeans and chunky knits. Take a lazy look in the back of your wardrobe or hunt the charity shops for funky bargains and you’re bound to find some amazing staple pieces, and putting them together? Well that’s the easy part.
