What are your favorite alternative fashion stores? Are there any cheaper alternatives to Black Milk, Dolls Kill, O Mighty, etc?

No. 166490

pretty sure you can find a lot of this stuff on AliExpress.

No. 166491

>black crop top and wetlook skater skirt is alternative fashion.

You can buy that at Forever 21. This isn't alternative fashion.

No. 166492

>alternative fashion
>black milk, dolls kill, o mighty

black milk was trendy four years ago. might be a bit too soon to start wearing it again ironically. o mighty and the revival of 90s fashion took its last breath 2015. also sexualising children and romanticize pedophiles & drug use is not e good look.

o-mighty has disgusting clothes that i'd never wear but i love that stupid site. kind of wanted those ugly jean sandals just to gross people out and make everyone repulsed but ofc i didnt have the balls to get them.

No. 166496

None of those brands are alternative. Just overpriced and tacky Tumblr wear.

>>166495
You can probably just DIY that shit. Not worth the 70-100 dollars they charge for their cheap-looking shoes.

And honestly, buying ugly shoes just to repulse everyone seems dumb as fuck. Buy actual nice shoes, instead of wasting money on ugly shit just in hopes of getting a reaction from others.

Ive opted for an open and active consciousness with my mortal vessel.
The act of covering our humanity with materialistic materials distracts us from immersing ourselves in the blinding joy of life and selflessly preforming our duties as servants to mother nature.

Only by realizing the truly oppressive and capitalist nature of fashion and choosing to guide my inner soul child onward from such temptations have I truly become free, my heart now soars high with the hawks and swims deep into the deep ocean with the orcas.
On the day when my inner soul child is released the golem shall once again sleep and my consciousness shall fly free in the arms of Our Great Mother.

Bless be peace on you.

You're right. Which is mostly why I didn't get them so relax. If you got alternative shops in mind then post them instead of just bitching about the ones already posted in the thread.

No. 166502

Honestly a lot of the stuff omighty and especially unif sells right now is just 90s/00's stuff duplicated. oftentimes I can find similar pieces in the thrift store, some stuff in forever21/h&m and then dupes of most stuff on ebay/aliexpress
the vibes/looks aren't hard to recreate, especially when its $40 for a cheap crop top

No. 166503

>>166502
thanks! what kind of keywords for ebay/aliexpress?

No. 166504

>>166503
ebay: i usually type 'harajuku' or 'punk' then look at related items.

aliexpress:
stuff like 'harajuku' 'unif' 'american apparel' 'omighty' 'laser' 'punk' 'goth''platform' 'grunge''printing'
you can also type in keywords such as 'winter 2015' or 'fall 2015' to find trends from that year/season. most stuff on aliexpress will be titled like 'new 2015 winter harajuku womens laser printing bag goth grunge'

the store 'YOUR FOCUS' has a lot of knock offs:

the worst part is that young girls want to be trendy, and with this nymphet trend going on i have seen many underage girls pick up that behavior. ive seen 14 year old girls who think it is the coolest shit to fuck grown men. this occurs in feminist spaces as well and as soon as someone say anything its kinkshaming.

grown women who want to pretend to be kids? fine whatever, but making it a trend is harmful in so many ways.

I think the only sensible way to describe true alternative fashion would be to go beyond what the mainstream considers alt fashion, and go into the really bizzare shit, like rockabilly or raver/goth fashion
Hell, I was just in this store today in Rotterdam and was more impressed and interested with the items in there than the usual boring """alt tumblr""" fashion: http://www.blackwidow.nl/

I enjoy things like pic related. I really like black layering and I feel like I dress fairly close to this, but I can never seem to find pieces in stores to help me achieve this style. I also don't really know what this would be called…so I'm having trouble finding outfit inspo pics. Does anyone know where I can find black clothing with interesting fabrics and cuts?

I love shit like this. The official brands (W.I.A., New Jurk, Dog etc.) are way too expensive for me so I'm looking into cheap stuff that gives off the same vibe.
If anyone knows a store that sells stuff similar to this, I'll love you forever.

No. 166519

>>166518
just go on aliexpress and type in "harajuku" and shit like that and you'll probably get some similar-ish looking stuff. of course, the quality won't be stellar but if you read the ratings and shit you probably won't go too wrong.

My roommate just made an order from Killstar.
One of the shirts came in way too small for her, so she gave it to me. Normally I love gothy/witchy stuff, but…man. I don't know what to do with this thing, I feel like a total edgelord with all of the occult gibberish that's on it. Pic related, I've got the short-sleeve t-shirt version of this.
Is this what goth is coming to nowadays? or is this just tubblr influence?
how do I wear this in a way that's not totally off-putting? is it even possible? maybe that's the point.

No. 166522

>>166521
Most of these brands have blogs on tumblr so yes
I hate how they are trying to make their clothes as edgy as possible and overprice them

tbh I'd just wear it on a pair of black leggins, but then again I got no real sense for style and everything I own is black/grey lol

No. 166523

I have this saved on wish under a strega category because you could do a casual strega look with it. Pair it with black skinny jeans or a skater skirt and tights or… with a collared shirt.

No. 166524

>>166521
I'd probably cut the sleeves off and wear it as a sweater vest with a pleated skirt and a white shirt. That print is so hideous it would have to be something vaguely ironic/self-aware and an otherwise clean cut/not sexy evil schoolgirl look usually works for that

How old are you? Not to to be a bitch, but you can't possibly be older than eighteen. You seem to believe that tumblr fashion is what people consider alt fashion when it really isn't, tumblr is not normalfag but it's pretty mainstream.

What you posted IS what the mainstream considers alt fashion, and none of it is new or especially bizarre. Fashion is not like music or literature where you need to dig reaaaally deep and in order to know the ~tru obscure~ stuff.

Actualy, lolita remains to this day as the most bizarre style I've encountered. It's not obscure but it's so fucking outrageous, and to add to that, some people actually wear it on a semi-daily basis…

I agree. What they described as 'truly bizarre' just reminds me of the stereotypical cheesy 'goffic gurlll' stuff.


>>166521
Then we've got this. The use of occult symbols for no apparent reason other than to be 3edgy5me is incredibly annoying. Why is this popular?

Is satanism trendy now? Why is satanism trendy? I see all these girls walking around with Baphomet necklaces and Leviathan crosses on their shirts. Most of these girls are definitely not satanic and if you asked them about it they wouldn't know the difference between LeVeyanism and Anti-Cosmic Luciferianism. I asked a girl a few days ago if she was a satanist (she was wearing a shirt with a large baphomet on it) and she quickly denied it. "No I just thought this looked really edgy and cool" …..? why? I don't get it.

But anyways…
Why is it popular?

I wish we would see more things like pic related and >>166515 instead of the edgy tryhard 'I'm so spooky and different' clothing. It's less juvenile. In ten years >>166513 isn't going to be embarrassed by her style.

Do people seriously, unironically say something is edgy as though that's a good thing? I'm not a native english speaker.

And, well, it's popular for the same reason spikes and studs are (were?) popular. It's threatening, hardcore, and edgy because you know OMG DEMONS R SO COOL.

MTE. Half of my family is trancendetal LHP and don't look like 3edgy5me kids at all. I like strega fashion and mostly wear flowy black shit but I'd never wear killstar shit because its fucking embarrassing. LHP for me is just a way of understanding the world and myself, the only one out of many that makes sense to me personally.
