Unpacking the Bare Essentials of the NORMCORE Aesthetic: Beyond Basic T-Shirts, Dad Jeans, and New Balances.
Contrary to popular belief, a person who embraces the normcore aesthetic does in fact care about their outfit. They choose to reject bold and flashy fashion in favor of classic, timeless staples. By embracing a simple, understated style, the normie becomes a fashion rebel in their own right.
Join me as we delve into the styling choices of iconic normcore figures such as Jerry Seinfeld, Frank Ocean, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg. We'll also break down the key pieces that make up a true normcore wardrobe.

What do you think about the Normcore aesthetic? Are you a normie? Do you own any of the items listed? More importantly, answer this pressing question: Seinfeld or Friends?

Seinfeld for sure. I'd play it 24/7 too.

I gravitated to Normcore after I became a mom. I didn't know it was its own fashion "trend" and I always thought "oh I am pretty basic and this is what basic people wear." 😂 I wanted to look put together but also be comfortable and Normcore fits my lifestyle. I also like the minimalist aesthetic, so I wanted it to be easy to put an outfit together without any hassle in the morning and make sure my wardrobe is cohesive. Yep I really like Normcore I've been dressing like this for about 9 years.

Normcore definitely needs more appreciation! Like you, this leopard has found her very basic but intentional stripes🤣

Thanks for covering my favorite style trend of the past decade lol. I've dressed like this almost exclusively since my late teens LOL, still kickin the same grey new balance 515s. There's a rebellion in not trying to either desperately look y2k goth/alt or like a skater guy !

Fun video I love normcore lol After growing out of the “trying to fit in phase” I accepted just how normal and stress free I am with a simple and versatile wardrobe. Mainly consist of flannel, simple color way shoes, and denim pants but being Mexican I realized I just look Chicano 😐

Living for your video essays on fashion! Humble request for balletcore next! I love how you make the connection between the normcore of Seinfeld (which is now back in a BIG way, look at Elaine's everything!) versus the much more anachronistic trends of Friends. Let us not forget too that normcore was THE original core, the first documented use of the word -core to describe style, all the way back in 2013. In that way, it is truly the ultimate core, and the one that maybe we will always go back to, decade after decade. (P.S. Your camera and editing are SO GOOD but your mic has been hissing and popping for a few videos now. Play with settings? And if no luck, consider a cheap omni-directional mic? It's worth the investment, I've enjoyed mine. TTFN!)

I've actually filmed a balletcore video and it's next up on my editing list! Lol I filmed a batch of videos a couple of months back so unfortunately I have a backlog of videos with that mic that everybody hates 🤣😅 but I'll try to do something to the audio! Rest assured, I currently have a new mic in my possession and fingers crossed it sounds better 🤞 I've been seeing Elaine outfit aesthetics on Pinterest! Maybe it's nostalgia talking, but I'm for it!

LMAO rip old mic! I believe in new one! I'm so excited for balletcore. I think this one taps deep into our collective little-girl-psyche to be a pretty princess but ALSO a badass black swan. Can't wait!

normcore is a term used in the context of a fashion trend so its not simply wearing basic and simple clothing. its an ironic take on fashion by using pieces and silhouettes more commonly associated with pedestrian clothing from people who dont pay attention to fashion trends but utilising it in a way to stand out within a more fashion conscious crowd. in the mid 2010s pieces like the dad cap really stood out when compared to what was “cool” like snapbacks or fitted caps, wide fit “dad jeans” stood out when all the fashionistas were wearing skinny jeans. i feel like this sense of irony and self awareness is what set normcore apart than just wearing essentials or basic minimalistic clothing.

Nailed it. Two people could be wearing the exact same set of clothes, but one would be "normcore", the other would just be normal. It's hard to articulate, but you just know it when you see it. As you say, it's the self-awareness of it. You can tell when someone doesn't give a shit and when someone is conciously wanting to give off that impression. It's the person defining the clothes, not the other way around.
