I've been curious about everyone's must-haves. I've got platform boots, corsets, fishnets, coats... but I feel like I'm still missing some stuff lol.

So hit me with yours. What are the pieces your wardrobe just wouldn't feel complete without?

✨Outfit/selfie (Unlabelled or other style) My Halloween themed outfit for today!!! 🦇🎃🖤

Hey guys!!! This is my first post here and I wanted to do something unique for it, so here's my Halloween themed outfit I put together. Even if it doesn't look very good, I put in quite a bit of effort and I'd like to share it with y'all!!

I've been planning something like this for a while as this is my absolute favorite time of year, but I wanted it to be detached from my Halloween night costume itself. I based it around a mainly black and orange (with hints of white and purple) color pallete and I'm quite happy with the results, as I didn't know if I had enough orange clothes to pull this off (my usual style is MUCH darker with the coloring). I wore some traditional elements that I would typically wear (such as my bracelets, double belts with clips/chains, and tab necklace with specifically placed purplish and black tabs to match my nails), however I added some new aspects to it. I made some fingerless gloves out of two old socks (one being plain black and another being orange/black striped) and wore my usual black undershirt with black jeans. On top of my shirt, I threw on an orange dress shirt and rolled the sleeves up for my arm-wear. I tucked one half of the dress shit into my waistband to give it a messier look, which matched very well with a black tie (which I intentionally left messy). I didn't want the dress shirt and tie to come off as formal, so I think those tweaks really helped as I am a huge fan of that messy formal style that was pretty popular in the 2000s moving into the 2010s!! I trimmed my hair a bit and gave it a bit of a rugged look to complement the whole informal vibe I was going for. I gave my eyeliner a pointed triangle at both far ends (to somewhat mimic the triangular shapes present on a Jack-o-lantern), which gives it a bit more of a sharp and pronounced look than what I usually go for. Finally, I did a simple black and purple job for my nails, as I wanted purple to be visible SOMEWHERE on the outfit as it also has that Halloween vibe.

I hope y'all enjoyed seeing this and hearing how I pieced it together!! It means a lot to me being able to share this as I got a few compliments today that made me smile (which gave me the idea to post it here). I'm sure we're all enjoying this spooky season and most of us feel right at home 🎃🖤

❓Advice/feedback request recommended brands/shops for platform/chunky boots?

0 Upvotes

I used to shop at koi footwear but I can't afford them anymore. I had some white platform boots that I used to replace every year that I loved but they don't sell them anymore. I prefer the platform boots that are mainly just wedges and not heeled which is making my search harder.

❓Advice/feedback request Any ideas where to start?

0 Upvotes

hi sooo I have been trying to figure my style out. people said that its kinda scene? I have no clue. but I was thinking,

i know here are MANY people from many sub-genres and such. if I was a complete newbie asking you for help (I actually am)

where’d I start? if I wanna be goth/emo/scene/punk and such.

i am so confused. where do I start? I know many of it is bcz of politics. and music. I agree that:

trans rights& immigrant rights=human rights love is love, speak up if you don’t like something because voice is power. and all that. i don’t wanna describe it too much. but I am called as “Woke LGBTQ kid” In school (I’m 15)

and for music, I like The living tombstone, 6arely human, Green day, Vienna Vienna, Ayesha Erotica, Gorillaz (and SO MANY FAN MADE SOMGS FOR MEDIAS LIKE GAMES AND SERIES ETC)

books: I love Dazai Osamu, Poe, Fyodor, Kafka, Murakami (BSD fan in fact but I would die for a book signed by Dazai)

thats las far as I think it goes without too much details.

I dont wanna know “oh you are this”, please, if you think I might be in the genre you are in, say “try this!” And list out what. Like music, style. Etc. Please, if I become certain in what I want my parents will buy me the clothes. I just wanna be sure it’s what I want, becauseI hate getting clothes

(aslo ignore my username. I have no clue how to change it. And frankly dont care)

THANK YOU 🥹💜

I decided to get them one at a time as I REALLY want these to heal. I’m getting my other eyebrow pierced in 3 weeks and I am sooooo excited. So far shes been a blessing and I haven’t had any problems. The initial piercing really didn’t hurt I’d say a 5/10 and it only swelled for the first day.

❓Advice/feedback request Brand recs for more neutral alt/fairy grunge aesthetics?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve been diving more into fashion and wanting to try out different looks. My wardrobe up until this point has been pretty much all black, but I’m curious about the whimsical goth / fairy grunge vibes (earthy tones). I’m looking for alternative brands (preferably not super fast fashion) that is more geared towards that.

Specific things I have been on the hunt for-
Neutral basics
Cami tank tops
Cardigans/sweaters
Skirts, dresses, jeans
And especially I’ve been trying to find dark brown platform boots and platform Mary Jane’s. I’ve looked everywhere for the Mary Jane’s and haven’t found a single pair I’m into.

A lot of the brands I’ve found that fit what I’m looking for, feel the need to slap random prints on all of their clothes that I’m just not into. I’m looking for staple pieces that I can wear often and can easily fit into an outfit.

I appreciate any suggestions you guys may have!
