People Are Calling Shia LaBeouf a Normcore Fashion God For a Reason

Jan 4 2020 - 12:30pm

I'm going to just come out and say it: Shia LaBeouf [1] is the style star I never saw coming. He's been getting a ton of well-deserved buzz around his film Honey Boy [2], which is actually based on his childhood. I'm clearly not the only one who has taken a liking to the actor's style since he even has an entire Instagram account, aptly dubbed Shia's Outfits [3], dedicated to his normcore outfits. One of my favorite looks thus far has to be a light green Patagonia fleece he wore with lavender shorts while in LA. Now, I can't walk around Brooklyn without seeing at least 10 skater boys replicating his entire grungy aesthetic — not that I mind one bit.

Shia's casual street style has been getting a lot of attention, so much so that some have dubbed him a normcore fashion god [4]. He has a way of making dirty Golden Goose sneakers, dad hats, and vintage graphic t-shirts somehow speak to my soul — a true talent in my eyes. I think it's the fact that he's pretty much nailed the "I don't really care about how I look. I just rolled out of bed and put on the first thing I saw" attitude about his wardrobe, which ironically has made people — myself included — care. Keep reading to see some of my favorite fashion moments Shia has blessed upon us ahead.

Yes, you can totally get away with wearing lavender shorts when styled with a New York Yankees hat and Patagonia fleece.

A paint splattered bomber jacket? Why not.

Can we take a moment to talk about this fringed jacket?

A polo shirt and vintage-inspired jeans never looked so good.

You're going to want to zoom in and take a look at this painting necklace by artist Laurene Alvarado [5], which honors his dad.

Shia makes tucking high socks over a pair of joggers look cool.

Who says you can't wear sneakers and high socks to a movie premiere?

I'm seeing a pattern when it comes to Shia and sneakers, but I don't really mind one bit.

A simple t-shirt with gray jeans can go a long way with a couple of thumbs up signs.

How do you make a gray Patagonia fleece and combat boots look even more normcore? Hold a salad in your hands and fork in your mouth, obviously.
