Borecore Manifesto
The tenants of boring fancy dress:
1. “the fit must fit” The most important borecore rule. It’s not easy to find clothes that fit, and fashion manufacturers aren’t always on your side. Learn to sew, find a tailor, investigate made to measure clothing. Get it right!
2. “follow the dress code so perfectly it breaks” Borecore exists at the intersection of every dress code, white shoes after labor day? you would never. If your fit makes sticklers feel you are doing something wrong —but they page desperately through their rulebook and can’t say exactly *what* you win.
3. “Be ready to time travel”
4. “look every age” toddler to grandma
5. “you could be from any city in the world”
5. “Prep without the brattyness; Academé without the victorian fussiness; camp without the cynicism; 50s revival without the US suburbs “
