Upon hearing about a fun new trend called ‘normcore,’ we at Brooklyn Mag naturally wondered how we stacked up against the cool kids who rock Dad jeans and Birks without, you know, looking like your dad on vacation in the mid-90s. Most of what we discovered can be referred to as “unintentional normcore.”
Here are all the people who agreed to be photographed stylish, super on trend employees of Northside Media Group. How #normcore are they? See for yourself:
