What is Neofolk?
Neofolk is a clothing style and visual aesthetic inspired by pre-WW2 European outerwear, workwear, and militaria.

What are the origins of Neofolk?
Neofolk takes its name from the Neofolk musical scene, originally from the visual aesthetic of Death in June frontman Douglas P, a homosexual, erstwhile communist turned blackpilled Strasserite. Douglas P’s onstage attire and his overall gesamtkunst style including performing attire and album art draw heavily from WW2 German uniforms, including SS camouflage such as erbsenmuster, tieing these elements to an older völkisch pagan style that implicitly rejects modernity and individualism; the SS smocks are cut in a peasant pattern, and there are frequent völkisch nature motifs such as wicker and flowers; Douglas P’s face is often covered by some sort of mask, often resembling bark, leaves, or moss.

What elements define Neofolk?
Neofolk is defined by wearing clothing in traditional cuts (generally pre-1950s) made from natural materials such as unbleached cotton muslin, roughspun wool, linen, leather, and waxed canvas. The color palette is dominated by dark and muted plain colors: black, dark gray, olive green, brown, and navy blue. The garments emphasize plainness and utility, so militaria and outerwear are the focus, not formal menswear.

What isn‘t Neofolk?
Conversely Neofolk is also very much defined by what it is not; Neofolk never includes modern garment types; modern blue jeans (if you must wear jeans think coal miner not James Dean), athletic wear, hoodies or sneakers; synthetic materials such as polyester or spandex, and eschews modern fasteners such as velcro and visually steers clear of bright garish colors and overt branding, graphics, or logos.
