I know this is going to get shit but I don't care, this is how I want to dress. I want advice and to toss ideas back and forth with people that have similar ideals.

Well now that I got that out of the way, I've been trying to get a very "witchy" feel to the way I dress. I have a couple pieces that have that sort of vibe, but I'm looking for more stuff that isn't incredibly expensive. I guess my ideal aesthetic could best be described as "tech priest" I love the look of techwear, but I also love the drape of artisanal clothing.

I'm not looking to spend a fortune, I'm fully aware some of the best ways to achieve this would be to buy clothing from designers but if that can be avoided that would be great. If I do buy pieces that go into the 200+ per piece range I'd like to focus on things that really bring a lot to the look not just basic shirts and what not. At the same time I'm not trying to look "goth" in the conventional sense, I want to avoid anything that would be sold at hot topic.

how can you walk around in public like that though? not trying to shit on your idea, but i dont get these people. are you going to go to your job looking like this? graned i dont live in ny or la, but ive never seen one person in public dressed like this. if i did, id think he just left hot topic or the haloween superstore.

gothninja has nothing to do with the phrase "goth" by itself. goth barely means anything anyways, and depending on the person it can be different. look at the goth kids from southpark, main guys fit is pretty dope but is nothing like you would expect the modern day goth, who look like fucking jokes. hot topic sells pop culture shit anyways, doubt you'd find anything there besides an ill-fitting bazinga shirt

Glad you have to make yourself feel better by putting other people down.

I guess that's why I want to avoid a lot of the cheap stuff because there is a visible difference between something that's very "hot topic" and something that's clearly well made.

Also you don't have to go full goof all the time, same way you don't wear a tux every day of your life.

Unfortunately, doing what you want to do and what you've described isn't something that can be done on a budget, unless one was to catch mad deals on Rakuten/Yahoo JP.

The whole Goth-Ninja/Techwear/Trunks-Core/Stylezeitgeist thing isn't going to be easily replicated by fast fashion. You're not going to look as cool as you think in these pictures if you're not willing to spend the cash. You'll look exactly like the hot topic kiddie you were trying to avoid looking like.

Right now this is what my wardrobe consists of (in this vein)

>about 8 basic shirts of varying cut and color, all dark earth tones, besides a couple tan

>three pairs of pants, all black. Drop crotch, Skinny, and cargo

>drop crotch shorts

>two pairs of footwear, all black docs and a pair of all black slip ons

>> No.9828705

>>9828680
No problem. I actually really like the look, even though the over saturation of all black isn't needed all the time.
I think it's an intriguing look, but carries a lot of stigma and takes not only a lot of cash onhand and a lot of confidence.
People will look at you funny if this is really the path you choose, and people will judge but then again I guess at that point it won't matter.

I mean that being said. That argument is so ridiculous to me; "WHY ARE YOU GOING TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE IN GOTH NINJA THAT'S DUMB" no fucking shit. Hell if I'm running to the store to get groceries I'm not trying to impress anyone, and I doubt anyone is going to care if I'm wearing black pants and a black/grey/tan t-shirt. To me it's akin to wearing a suit to similar places, you just wouldn't do it.

the look you are going for is impossible to achieve on a budget, buying one piece at a time would be a bad idea because clothes like that need to be styled properlly to not look stupid, which is impossibe to do without a great wardrobe.im assuming you are around 20 years old and not a part of anything that has a thing to do with art. avantgarde clothing is extremley hard to wear without looking awkward if you arent in some creative field or at least somehow involved. im also guessing you are new to fashion as a whole, i suggest you dont just jump head first into avantgarde clothing. trust me it is just a bad idea, just wear really toned down versions of the styles you like now and try to somehow evolve your wardrobe alongside your taste in clothing.

Advice like that is given so often because so many people who post on this board (and especially about such niche styles) are teenagers who have no concept of personal style and think they can emulate their favorite anime irl or some shit. If you have the confidence and access the quality, then go for it. But as somebody who is interested in something as specific as this, I'm sure you could understand wanting to dissuade somebody from pursuing the look for the wrong reason.

Oh hey my thread is still alive. Actually I'm heavily involved in the art and music scene of my city. Albeit I don't make good money from what I do but I'm pretty well known. I think that's also why I don't care because of the people I surround myself with, I know they're into the things I do and even if they aren't they're not shitheads. I am around 20. Well it's funny that you mention slowly incorporating things because that's basically what I have been doing, but my wardrobe has always been pretty monochrome/earth tones. Most recently I've just become obsessed with silhouettes and the potential in them.

these threads remind me of when i was a teenager. I was a raver in the 90's, and wanted to achieve a certain look. beleive it or not, high end fashion shops, for a short time, were selling high end designer scuba masks and snorkels. i bought a few, and walked down the street , on a sunny day, with my scuba mask and snorkel, and loud rave clothing, as people pointed and laughed. only now do i see how absurd and stupid i was being. Equilibrium is a cool movie, and i love mad max, but walking around the streets of a average city looking like a tech priest or future apocalypse survivor just makes you a ridiculous looking eyesore that draws attention for the wrong reasons. just dress functional, and adapt to your social climate.
