Fashion: Wardrobe Insider (part 3) explains the new 'Normcore' trend

The versatile, wardrobe staple that is the jean made an appearance in all its glory for this season as part of the new ‘Normcore’ trend.  Combining the words ‘normal’ and ‘hardcore’, this trend is all about a blank canvas wardrobe, not standing out and wearing the most luxurious pieces you can in a very classic, plain way.  

You can make this trend as simple or as complex as you like, but as a firm believer that we should all feel our best in our clothes everyday, the simple version may not give your outfit the wow factor and that inner feeling of wonderful confidence. 

Therefore the easy way to glam this trend up would be through accessories and luxe fabrics.  Cue Marc Jacobs and Stella McCartney (below) who showcased the plain side of Normcore through paired down knitwear in the softest of materials and relaxed shapes.

To complement this look, wear it with your favourite leather jacket and if you haven’t already got one, opt for a collarless style that is simple in shape and therefore will go with all types of outfits!

Alternatively for this look, rock your favourite denims, casual shirt or white tee and trainers! If any of you have already started building your ‘capsule’ wardrobe; the essential foundations to your style, then many of these will form part of this trend.  Great news for the bank balance!
