Hey... Hi... I....
I ******* SUCK AT FINDING A GOOD STARTING SENTENCE HNNG
:angel: *ahem*
What is your daily fashion? Would you share some tips if anyone was interested in your fashion style ( I'm not thinking extreme personal detail wise but general preferred fashion such as goth, punk, carribean (Jamaica), hippie etc etc.)?
I was wondering this because my fashion is plain black and white clothing. It's what I like and I don't really care what others think, but now I'm starting to be more social, going out more and starting to think I look "too boring". I've always been interested in a more goth/dark fashion; however, I never had the balls for it because of my family's close minded beliefs (don't think too much on that please its not the main topic :thumbs: ). While I said I don't really care what others think about my looks, I'm not gonna do something stupid like upset my entire household for mere clothing preference.
Most of you must be tired of knowing that I'm a "Pirate"... because I'm a cat... Anyway I'm hoping to find some opinions and general tips (specifically in the goth/dark fashion. KAJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!@#!@Q#!), so that I can merge this style with my personality and other preferences. I'd love to hear and get ideas from any fashion styles as well though!
Oh and please don't link me to wikipedia. I have already looked in there, and I just couldn't find any information that helped me.
Thanks!
I like brightly coloured stuff, and contrast - lots of contrast! Bold patterns in bright colours. Bonus points if it sparkles. :gay: My tastes lie in Bohemianism and Chelsea with a modern urban flair. My favourite ensemble is pairing a hippy shirt with my preppy trench-coat. 8)
I'm a flower child who litters. :roll:
edit: Also stockings! I love patterned knee high chick socks! They make me feel sexy. :P
edit edit: Uh... sorry. I don't actually have any advice to give. :-[ I just like talking about clothes. I do not recommend anyone dressing like me. I am a unique free-spirited individual snowflake, conservative people find me juvenile. Your parents would hate me, and my clothes. :-X
Oh you :gay: So fabulous~
Don't worry about the advice I'm just glad someone said something I was beginning to think every fur here goes around naked
:birdy:
I wear two different styles, Casual punk, and classy metal.
Casual punk is usually a pair of black sweat pants, Tee shirt or torn button up with the top two buttons undone and the sleeves unbuttoned and rolled to the elbows, black runners, hands sharpie tattooed something different every day depending on mood ["Fyriuifr" is today's mark], hair slicked back with spiked bangs.
Classy metal is: Dress shirt unbuttoned with black tee underneath, fedora, opened black rocker jacket, dress pants, black leather shoes, necklace outside shirts, hair ponytailed, nails black.
Though I kind of want to say "stay away from wearing anything that's a rainbow', you can have interesting collection of colours mixed together. I guess it depends what you want, or what you think is cool, or what you want to know is cool.
I usually like less faded materials. So if you do have something like a yellow shirt, it's nice to have it a rich yellow as opposed to a old faded yellow. I usually enjoy a lot of faded print of some emblems or coat of arms ect. Offset or asymetrical stuff is something I usually enjoy. I think I'm also really old in my style but I still dig cargo pants/shorts.
Functional shoes (runners) can usually not be that attractive to wear, and in some social situations I'll opt for skate shoes instead. I normally use more muted colours or shades, and have only recently been looking into the eye catching delicious colours of some Fox brand clothing.
I generally wear alot of black. ALOT OF BLACK. I generally like to wear whatever I like regardless of what people say to me. I guess I could classify myself as an alternative raver. I have a mixture of punk, goth, emo, skater, raver, and scene in a clusterfuck of awesome. On a normal day I wear black and white, or black and grey. I dress more colourful and vibrant for social events. Personally I can only say from my own experience is to use lots of contrast. Black and white are the perfect contrast, but black goes well with everything. Use it as a base and add bright colours to it to make them stand out. Or same with white. Use white as a base as well and add colours to make it more lively.
Punks/Goths/Ravers are about being original and yourself. The best way to do that is to take old clothing and alter it to your liking. There are no true set guidelines. But there are tips you can follow to achieve that punky look and feeling to your every day clothing. Punks also take their old clothing and accessories and recycle them by making new things out of them such as wrist accessories from old long socks, cutting out pictures from shirts and hoodies and using them as patches, removing studs from old studded belts and adding them to your hoodies and jackets, and taking old zippers from things and sewing them onto your pants. Chains from wallets are also a nice accessory to have on your pants. Pins, eyelets, and other random little metal things for clothing placed randomly also give a nice sense of originality to clothing as well.
You've witnessed what I wore at my Birthday meetup. And as you could tell, I was the most oddly dressed. I was not ashamed of what I wore. Just be true to yourself and eventually you'll find a style you will enjoy. Take these tips from a girl like myself. We generally have a greater sense of fashion than the male population.
@Rei
You best have the headbangging hair of awesomeness to go with it or else :vik:!
@Fazar
Yeah too much colors just seems like you're whoring attention. I mean sure if you have some weird dressing style people will look at you but that's being comfy with your clothing now if you're exploding colors and sh***** rainbows out of every inch of fabric you wear it really implies you just want people to look at you xD (No offense Renwaldo). Color contrast just seems like a better fashion for everyday clothing. Thanks for sharing + tips :hug:
@Wrath
Wow! Yes! This is exactly what I had in mind (changing/recycling what you already have) I just wasn't sure how to go about it, and I wanted some tips on the extra accessories too.

Honestly that's what inspired me to even post this thread, you looked amazing. And it probably isn't just the crazyness of your clothing but how confident you were about it :thumbs:. Absolutely, girls are superior to guys in general fashion I'm glad you replied ^^. Thank you~ :hug:
Here's a coat template. I'm working on colors and designs for it just struggling a bit with contrast cause its not exactly a talent of mine xD (Yes it's exactly like Whitebeard's coat from one piece. Isn't it normal for a child to wish they can become like their father whom they love and admire?). Now I just need some badass clothing to wear under that and I'm good to go, maybe more extravagant stuff for my character though Nyah-ha-ha-ha-ha :thumbs:

Uh... sorry. I don't actually have any advice to give. Embarrassed I just like talking about clothes. I do not recommend anyone dressing like me. I am a unique free-spirited individual snowflake, conservative people find me juvenile.
That's fine I didn't post just for advice it's quite interesting knowing what people dress like you sound like a moving party btw :birdy: :birdy: :birdy:

Your parents would hate me, and my clothes. :-X
I just have mom here. She would find strange probably but keep it to herself. She doesn't really mind that other people are/wear crazy stuff as long as its not offensive. It's mostly that she doesn't want me to be turn out that way, but now I think she's more open minded about me doing what I want. Maybe she finally realized that I'm an adult now :thumbs:. Also I plan on moving to my own place in the next couple years anyway so yeah...

Um scuse me?! >:(
Honey, I will destroy you.
I've been watching 'TLC' since it was still 'The Learning Channel.'
Bring it!
*head-bob, finger-snap, wrist-flick*
:gay:
edit: V I was being lulzy. :P
Let it go Ren, she's right. Girls are born with the "gift" of fashion. Guys can learn it but its only artificial knowledge. Nyahahahaha xD.
So anyway I was thinking of a tank top (With the coat on) and some pants filled with custom designs and a some accessories hanging from the belt like chains and stuff :thumbs:
So like this is the idea for the kind of clothing I'm thinking of wearing. The coat is a work in progress, and I haven't decided on shirts yet xD

Pfft, shirts are for fat people! :gay: :roll:
Hey! I like shirts. Shirts are nice.

Oh you are, sorry. :-X

People say I'm not "fat" but I definitely am overweight :/ But yeah. As you can see, I need to look less plain black and white lol
I'm a girl, I'd be arrested if I was walking around shirtless in public. Fat or not, by law I must wear shirts in public. Plus it can hide my shame and not bring unwanted attention.
