Has the "normcore" trend influenced Emily Ratajkowski's wardrobe selection? Or has motherhood altered her perspective on day-to-day comfort, which seems to have been her priority of late. Everyone enjoys a chance to blend in with the crowd occasionally - this time, it seems to be Emily Ratajkowski's turn. Eyes fixed on the ground as she walked, she appeared to be a relaxed New Yorker indifferent to fashion.

Emily Ratajkowski has conditioned us to her expressive, feminine, and surprising wardrobe choices. So, when she was spotted in attires resonating more with the normcore style ethos - she was all but unrecognisable.

Since the trend of being "unfashionable" has gained traction - those distancing themselves from the fashion industry began to be seen as trendsetters. Sweatshirts, baggy T-shirts, baseball caps, worn-out trainers, and loose jackets in uninspiring colours captivated the world with their informality, freedom, and apathy. And although they resisted conforming to the world of fashion and instead, reveled in their "anti-trends" - fashion itself came a-calling.

Is Ratajkowski steering away from her former image?

Emily Ratajkowski was seen on the street clad in a leather jacket, which she seems quite unwilling to part with recently. She swapped her heels for a pair of comfy, classic-style trainers and traded her short skirt for baggy sand-coloured trousers. The relaxed cut sitting low on her hips is a unisex design.

Fashion blurs the boundary between women's and men's wardrobes. This, in turn, broadens the scope for creativity and guarantees room for one to display their inventiveness.

Thus, the trend for eclecticism - merging not just different fashion paths but also drawing inspiration from areas that were previously unexplored. This is a definitive trait of 21st-century fashion.
