In recent seasons, micro-aesthetics dominated fashion trends. Bikercore, Barbiecore, Balletcore—you’ve likely heard these quippy labels ad nauseam. But, reader, have you heard of Dweeb Chic? Despite what you may think, It has nothing to do with getting good grades. We’ll give you a real-life example: This week, Jennifer Lopez’s gray outfit was the nerdy trend fully realized. While shopping in Beverly Hills, JLo wore a gray V-neck sweater with matching slate-colored trousers and black square glasses. The outfit could be considered basic, but that’s the point; With hyper aesthetics and quick trends galore, the Dweeb Chic aesthetic values wearable, high-quality clothes—which Lopez's simple yet polished ensemble radiates. It’s preppy and a little bit librarian-like, which comes together to create an outfit that’s confident and casual.
Let’s get into Lopez's gray outfit look: Both her v-neck sweater and tapered trousers are from Brunello Cucinelli, a stealth-wealth brand that A-listers love (both quiet luxury pieces combined probably cost a mortgage on a home.) She styled her sweater over a crisp white button-down and cuffed the hem of her trousers for a casual, on-the-go feel. She wore Alexander Mcqueen sneakers, held a rare crocodile Hermès Birkin, and accessorized with black square glasses by Tom Ford and chunky gold hoop earrings.
