Ryan M, DQ.
This was part of my declaring DQ to Shani
Normcore (in this country) is a phrase that means normal-looking Unisex clothing but has been hyped up by Vogue and other such people to become a fashion line eg..quote from Vogue "Born in jest several years ago from the conflation of 'normal' and 'hardcore', the word 'normcore' refers to the obsession of appearing normal in order to express ones specialness"
in a subsequent email to Shani I said
I was intrigued about
making nothing unusual into something to rave about - it stuck
me then (and still does) as the sign of a culture that has
lost its way -with nothing to say and yet having to say it
anyway

I think maybe if any of you are happening to want to use normcore in conversation in the future, it would be helpful to know, that despite being "casual", it doesn't include the t-shirt, unless it's of a solid color or a henley style—and occasionally a ringer. But a polo or woven button-up is perfectly acceptable.--
And probably no shorts, unless they're a simple woven fabric. The main go-to is nondescript: no patterns or images or logos apart from maybe the label.
A lot of people think the costuming on Seinfeld is a good reference point. So perhaps less "casual" and more "office casual"? For what it's worth; seemed like Oxford missed some of the subtlety of the trend by summing it up as "casual".
