Normcore

In contrast to the complexity often seen in fashion, normcore celebrates plainer and more laidback everyday wear. This lax aesthetic is a throwback to styles reminiscent of the 90s and early 2000s that include staples like white sneakers, culottes, and monochrome apparels, all promoting an easygoing and straightforward attitude towards style. Normcore is all about looking creatively effortless and runway-ready.

Thrift shop chic

Thrift shop chic is an obvious reference to clothes that can be bought from thrift shops. These stores are known for selling preloved denims and tees of various sizes and hues—all for cheap costs. Sporting beanies and fedoras, vintage footwear like boots, old Converse sneakers, and oxfords, oversized glasses, coupled with the frequent use of scarves and even a revival of flannels, the thrift shop chic has become one of the most recognizable styles in fashion today.

Military aesthetic

Military clothes have become a popular alternative to one’s ensemble. Drawing from the early 1900s, clothing pieces such as bomber jackets, cargo pants, and various camo print clothes are now frequently worn today. These are easily paired with all sorts of clothing, can be personalized in many ways, and give an altogether edgier, yet familiar, look to one’s outfit.

Athleisure

With this generation’s daily schedules getting more manic, athleisure has become the ultimate fashion fix for someone who’s constantly on the go. The essentials of athleisure wear, like muscle tees, leggings, and ultralight sneakers, have become favorites not only for comfort, but also for how they can be convenient staples regardless of whether you’re heading to the gym or to class.
