But perhaps we’re over-analysing the reasons behind this trend. There’s definitely something in the idea that the constant images of combat, protest and disaster beamed into our collective consciousness by Live Leak and Channel 4 News has influenced the way we dress – but maybe warcore is just a natural progression for a changing silhouette, one born through certain necessities in modern urban living.

As our cities have become bigger, dirtier, hotter and colder – the way we dress has had to adapt. I noticed a few years back that I, and almost everyone I knew, were dressing evermore functionally. In my teen years I would think nothing of going out in a pair of brogues or winkle pickers, but as time had gone on, trainers and boots had become absolutely necessity for getting around.

In general, you see fewer heels around these days, fewer men in suits, fewer dandyish affectations and thicker socks. Even jeans, which can be sweaty and immobile on crowded trains and close dancefloors are far less universal than they used to be. Tracksuit bottoms have become totally acceptable almost everywhere; offices, restaurants, awards ceremonies – whereas once upon a time you were seen as a thug for wearing them outside of the gym.

Our silhouette has altered to something much more practical and breathable, and our world has changed into somewhere much more uncertain – fashion history dictates that it’s only natural that something like warcore would come along.

But the fact remains that the price-points for most of these clothes are far from utilitarian, and the closest most people wearing this look will come to combat is the queue for the bathroom at Soho House (unless mandatory military conscription for all millennials comes in and we really do find ourselves Insta-storying the end of the world.)
