Image is just a random crossdresser (self-identified) I thought looked cool. Month long megathreads for smaller comms, that are only pinned in the comm, is something I was talking about in the moderator Matrix chat. c/anime already does something similar, so I figured c/fashion could do it too.
If you have any suggestions about how I could change this megathread to make it more fashion related, that would be greatly appreciated (i.e. like how the c/anime megathread is explicitly for suggestions/what you're watching).
I'd also love it if people could make posts that are guides for fashion. I'd pin them in the comm, at least for a while, and if they're good enough I'd try to get it pinned sitewide. We don't have a wiki, so it'd be greatly appreciated. c/fashion doesn't just have to be pictures of fits.
Talk about whatever you want, as long as it's fashion related. There's plenty to talk about that might not warrant a whole post.
question. if I wanna dress more goth (Im dudebro coded atm) where do I start =? seems like a chicken and egg typa deal
I'm not in that culture but why not ease into it with black versions of your existing wardrobe?
Since I was a kid ive just been finding whatever clothes I can and customizing them, because hot topic was too expensive. I still find goth clothes made by brands to be too expensive! I would only buy from the discount racks. I have had some mild success with ebay buying used / second hand, sometimes the big names pop up on there. Also local flea markets sometimes have more alternative looking clothes with small sellers curating alternative / gothic looks (look for ones that cater to queer / punk / alt ppl.) And of course just looking at every clothing as if it has the potential to become gothic & customize them (if you have the desire to do so.) i hear that many 80s-90s goths had to make their clothes. You can dye clothes black and add spikes to them :)
