Normcore has been around for at least two years, so I wouldn't call it "fashion forward" at this point, and... it's normcore. Really? |

In fact, you could say that all of DC is rocking normcore. Happy now? |

| I grew up in the DC area. My impression was that DC people want to look as if they are too important to care about fashion because it is frivolous. "Real issues" are at stake, in other words. Also, I think it is a trickle down effect of wanting to be as inoffensive as possible. Dress like the position you want, not the position you have - in other words, President. Who always has to wear a suit. |

And it still isn't worn in DC. Which should just tell you how out of touch DC is. |

| This is one of the most ridiculous threads on DCUM, and that says a lot. |

| Normcore looks like middle-aged housewives. That's not trendy fashion. |

You sooooo misunderstand Normcore. |

Instead of continuously saying "that's not normcore," "you don't get it," etc., why don't you offer some concrete examples? |

| These sound like marketing gimmicks. |

| I am a middle aged housewife and both my husband and I have worn "normcore" for years. ha. I thought we were the people making the DC area unfashionable? |

It's mostly politics, lobbying, and nonprofit crowds here. Not fashion. Lest you be a little too informal or trendy, some bitch on facebook will call you out publicly for it. (I'm talking to you you, Ms. Lauten). That was not the first time and it won't be the last. Unless you're in a shapeless pant suit, you're not acceptable in DC. |
