‘Corpcore’ takes 9-to-5 chic to the streets: How ‘business formal’ became hot again
NY Post
This corporate dress code is all about working it.
Trousers, blazers, button-ups, pantsuits and vests are flourishing beyond sterile, fluorescent-lighted offices. The long-mandated business casual professional attire has gotten a new, high-fashion take, dubbed “corpcore,” and celebrity style savants like Zendaya are on board.
“What people are finding is going back to classics has longer lasting effects,” New York City stylist and model Bernadett Vajda told The Post, adding that she’s noticed her clients longing for a wardrobe refresh post-pandemic.
She added: “I mean, it’s true for me, too, personally. I just want clean, tailored clothes.”
New data from Pinterest revealed a 950% surge in searches for “corporate chic,” while users show more interest in “geek chic,” pinstripe pants, skirts, vests and blazers.
Now, the social networking platform is predicting “corpcore” will become one of the dominating aesthetics this summer.
