omg anon same!
I really dislike CLove as a person, but love her 90's looks and Hole's music…
Personally I never got the 'but it's a dated look' argument against alt styles. Just wear whatever and make it work for you. You can also make it look more modern by adding slight touches of current trends if it's a problem.
Don't copy, get inspired and you will be good.

90s/early 00s goth makeup
>wtf anon that's not dead at all
no! you don't understand! goth is popular and 90s revival is popular, but both camps mostly go for modern makeup, just different intensities and color palettes of ig makeup with the thick brows/cat eye liner/precise eyeshadow. i miss mean skinny brows, unfussy smudged eyeliner, and weird brownish red lipstick. i realize it didn't look good on everyone but on some people it looked fucking amazing and i'm not changing mine!

This is mostly talking about male aesthetics but I know girls in this subculture nowadays wear this sort of stuff too when they're heavily into it.
I miss seeing the 80s/90s full blown thrash and black metal get up with long hair, battle jackets, and bullet belts. Too bad metal is just not as big a thing as it was back then. Men who look like this turn me the fuck on for some reason and they just look so cool to me but god are they rare as ever in my area.

Wear what you like in your free time. You're young and beautiful, that's your privilege (and even if you're neither of those things, not dressing as you please is a waste of time). You probably wouldn't normally be seeking fashion advice from whoever would talk shit, anyway.

House on the edge of the forest is more like you've got a cute cottage with a flower field in front and the style is more pastel and lacey, think pastel Gunne Sax dresses.
House in the forest is more earthy-toned and mori-influenced with lots of layering, knit/crochet pieces, and boots. House in the forest is the aesthetic that everyone's Animal Crossing island aims to be.

Pic related is a pretty safe bet, albeit maybe a touch too short). Skater skirts are just a variation of circle skirts which I think is pretty timeless and fine to wear at any age, maybe with a few adjustments of material/pattern/hemline to fit your comfort/age. As long as you stay away from the tumblr circa 2014 style of a burgundy circle skirt, band tee, and knee socks, you should be fine (altho I still love that style kek) But hey, on your own time if you want to dress a certain way and it makes you happy, go for it anon!

>>143563Totally, so in many ways, kinderwhore is a dark half to lolita; where lolita says, "I don't care if you're uncomfortable," kindwhore says, "You should be uncomfortable."
Kinderwhore is a sharp blend of ostensibly childish aesthetic with unpleasant overtly sexual overtones, a blunt commentary on how girls are brought up in our culture and left effected as adults because of it
I get most of my everything on eBay, it's a hot spot for vintage clothes, thrift stores can be good too if you're in a wealthy or older area
Anyway, keep your dress silhouette short and shapeless, some good search terms include "babydoll," "trapeze," "vintage a-line" and "vintage nightgown." You can have a waist, but usually if you do, it shouldn't be much lower than your nips
Leg wear can be straight up trashy, like Leg Avenue cheap black netting-lace even.
Shoes are usually stilettos or flats, an excellent and widely available option is heels modeled after classic childrens' shoes, like mary janes, penny loafers, saddle shoes, and sneakers even
Mini backpacks and stuffed animal purses are pretty classic, but satin pocketbooks also match well, hearkening back to the birthday party aesthetic Courtney Love experimented with briefly

The e-girl stuff is repetitive, they all wear the same outfit and copy each other because they don't want to go out of their comfort zone.(E-girl outfits consist of some mainstream band shirt with a striped long-sleeve underneath, a plaid skirt, fishnets, killstar boots, and a studded belt. Or a checkered/flame bandeau instead of the shirt.) I think they'll get bored of it when the next popular aesthetic comes around.
Honestly, I think that when it comes to this fashion, the dorkier the clothes are, the better. The baggy pants and oversized shirts are so fun to wear and if you don't look a bit ridiculous you're doing it wrong.

Like how modern punk and goth fashion has been watered down to egirl fashion and has become rather consumerist

at anons about goth fashion i completely agree, however i’m less so worried about the whole “e-girl” trend because it’s just mostly teenagers being teenagers for the most part, i’m ok with them embracing whatever that is if it makes them happy without being malignant tumors, it’s just another trend imo. It only really annoys the shit out of me when you have grown women acting like 14-15 year olds about it, reclaiming the term “e-girl” like it’s a badge, then it just gets old fast. though honestly it really depends. i wanted to be scene so badly lmao now i’m mostly teetering on the 2000s fashion revival and goth lolita, even though i don’t think i’d ever wear goth lolita and military-esque lolita fashion in public often unfortunately because it’d probably be too hot and much of a hassle enough. i’m just now starting this year to really get in touch with visual-kei, mallgoth, and harajaku. i’m super excited, i’m hoping to get a new pair of boots soon! fashion is probably one for the best things in the world.

I love berets and think they can be flattering on almost any head shape. Some people look better with bigger and more structured ones, while others suit smaller and floppier berets. The placement makes a difference as well. If you don't look good with a beret that's more to the front and to the side (like your pic), try wearing one that's more centered on the back of your head (like pic related, different style but you get the point).

The revival I most anticipate is the period of when Mustaches, PicCollage, obnoxious phonecases and "Stay Calm and X" were popular. I am genuinely curious to see the modern interpretations of these trends, and simply know they will return as the children who were born in the 2000s gain more influence in the mainstream street-fashion.
In terms of past styles, I truly miss early 2010s weeaboo culture. In my experience, this was a true peak, as online culture was genuinely blooming and growing at a rapid pace. The abundance of squishy and fairy-kei tutorials on YouTube, the lack of Japanese fashion anywhere which demanded creativity, reading a lonesome Legend of Zelda manga from the school library, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Vocaloid dance cover popularity… Fukkireta!! Oh my… Ah, what wonderful times. I occasionally indulge in these memories by watching videos by the likes of this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQlO1h-T0UQ, for instance. So perfect <3 truly a peak in fashion history. Now fairy kei is just a hiding place for uneducated tumblerettes (even if I visit tumblr myself, you know what I mean, ahah).
Another "outdated style" which I have been indulging in recently is the early 2010s tumblr, crafty, photographer indie girl. I am drawn so to its melange of melancholic and artsy, and the spaces between just grown up and teenager, girly and mature, modest and trendy, weird and creative, and of course the very honest nature of tumblr's textposts at the time. I also slight miss when, around this period, legitimate ana's were en vogue. Now it seems to be more "fit" slim as opposed to mentally ill skinny. (this??
>>141034)
>>141063 IT WAS
Finally, it really satisfies my past self to see the abundance of legitimate scene and emo girls in real life. The past few weeks I encountered a handful of tweenaged girls during my dailiy commute, who perfectly suited these characteristics, one of whom being extremely pale, sporting a perfect, pitch-black, poofy side-fringe, and wearing something akin to a BVB-shirt, ahah. The second had natural and remarkably choppy bangs which nearly covered her eyes, whilst donning a bunny hat with long paws, a fluffy skirt covered partially by her tee-shirt and socks over her tights– all in mismatching colors, of course.
>>96747Goodness I dislike the "kinderwhore" style. Perhaps it is the result of the influences modern styles have had on it, but the contemporary expressions I've seen of it appear to solely attract mentally ill fatties, or girls using it as an excuse to appear dirty and obnoxious, excusing their behavior with the style itself! Perhaps I have solely seen misrepresentations of the fashion, however?
>>96773My what dreamy dresses..!
>>96955The best part is that tomboys/skaters tend to dress like that regardless of the Zeitgeist, although it is certainly less widespread nowadays.
>>96970>>141033how adorable!!
>>98389>>98461Oh dear, I so fondly recall meeting with a friend many years ago, as she showed an interest in Japanese fashion, and I was most willing to teach her what I knew. We would explore her wardrobe, as to discover her style. Subsequently I would coordinate a core outfit, with some alternative options for different days and moods. The result was a "cult party kei" outfit, and I made one for myself as well so we could match, hehe. It was genuinely fun, I wish I still had friends who would like me to style them and vice versa! I love it so much, but none of them are interested lolol
I would respond more but this is already deserving of a mega sage lol. anyway picrel is the mustache-type of period i mean, right before the term kawaii became entirely ruined and widespread

>>96773 I spy Topshop. Yes. I miss what was common 2006-2012 (ish, it's a guess!) British high street fashion, specifically Topshop, which went to shit. Older UK anons should know what I mean. Short, muted floral-print tea dresses, leather jackets, pixie boots, woolly tights lol.
It was perfect for those in-between years, not wanting to dress like a little girl anymore, but not comfortable dressed as a "woman"/sexy. Much better than the thot & "basic" looks of today.
Decent quality, reasonably priced. I have £30 dresses, worn almost daily, that are still in perfect condition.
It's still in demand, second-hand clothes of that era can command far beyond their original selling price.

Mad Men was mentioned above already, but I hate how at a certain level/in certain professions womenswear has had a very difficult time getting out of the "what a man would wear to work if he was a woman" power-styling of the 80s. I work at a very "black or grey suit" office.

I'm old enough to remember the days when makeup application was easy and simple and even celebrities wore very basic makeup that took 10 minutes to apply. It was acceptable for your foundation not to completely match your skin tone and you could wear one color on your eyelids that you blended for a few seconds. Makeup was often applied with fingers instead of brushes.
Nowadays everyone frowns upon drugstore makeup and you are expected to shell out on Jefree starr palettes and you are expected to do your makeup with professional drag queen, makeup artist tier skill. This is all thanks to YouTube makeup tutorials. You see teen girls with makeup collections worth hundreds of dollars. When I was growing up even adult women didn't own that much makeup.

I really enjoy the fun way in which older women used to dress many decades ago.
Nowadays as you age you are expected to wear boring, shapeless gaudy clothing with cheap floral prints and shark hems. You are expected to embrace frizzy hair with gray roots and crocs with socks and to just disappear.
Older women in the bygone era often looked so glamorous and they never really gave up on trying to look beautiful or trying to stand out.
They would curl their hair, wear intracate fitted dresses and broaches, wear brightly colored lipstick and interesting glasses.
Female beauty today seems to be completely focused on youth and sex appeal and women are expected to just fade into old age and stop expressing themselves in their clothing choices.

>>162545Agreed anon. I remember my mom only having a few small eye shadow compacts, nothing like the $60 palettes of today.
With all the tutorials nowadays, it's no longer "acceptable" to not be good at makeup, but not everyone has the desire to do Instagram/MUA-tier makeup. I miss these looks because they were more accessible to everyone and didn't create ridiculous standards.

But I want the resurgence to happen. I want a more natural and free approach to fashion without it being cutesy and fairytale-like like cottagecore was (I think that was my biggest problem with it). Cottagecore is great in some ways when it isn't styled in a super over the top way. I guess this is why I like dresses like pic rel, it could be styled in a boho way too.
I'm happy boho will come back, it has a mature vibe while still being femenine, playful and carefree. And it will be for all sizes this time, and not just for someone's mom.

I'm not sure if it was just a UK thing but there was a early-2010s revival of 1920s fashion and music - around the same time as boardwalk empire and the great gatsby film came out.
I was really into it and would set my hair etc. There was a semi-famous singer in the UK who'd appear on TV in that style. I was a cringy 16 year old who Tweeted about him and he favourited the tweet. Long story short we ended up in a completely inappropriate BDSM relationship. Every time I hear any sort of "electro-swing" style music or see that specific 2010s-does-1920s look I cringe so hard my face wants to fall off.

Cassie-esque quirky fun diy style. I just love her fashion in season one, especially in her dedicated episode. It reminds me a lot of the playful DIY-snailmail-early-youtube-crafts-tween sphere I was in that emphasised sustainability and mental health awareness around ED's and cutting in particular, since that was rather rampant at the time. Do any fellow Dutch anons remember the "Hoe Overleef Ik" franchise? That's basically what I'm referring to. It embodied such an innocent mindset to the changing internet which really aligned well with my maturity at the time.

>>220284It is exaggerated but not in a "disney kid" way. The awful 80's fashion revival created some kitschy ass outfits.
Tony (from the outfits to the haircut) and Sid styles were tamer and a bit more accurate. Weirdly enough Effy and Cassie were more relevant in a mid 2010s context, they were dressed like indie Tumblr browsing kids. Effy was prime mid 2010's soft grunge and Cassie was more "quirky weeb"

>>226098>>226107Same. That time period was long ago enough that I feel nostalgic for it, and it is sort of bittersweet when styles from your youth come back around as “retro”. But I feel like I’ve barely had enough time to revisit my favorite looks from the 2000s and experiment with a new silhouette. Hopefully this is just a micro trend like coconut girl or fucking twilightcore kek.
>>226174My prediction is that once we cycle through the 2010s (probably by the end of this year honestly, seeing as how fast things are moving), we’ll get to the 2020s and realize the decade so far has just been a rehashing of old looks. Then we’ll finally get to wear some futuristic shit. My guess is that this will happen when zoom zooms get nostalgic for the late 2010s synthwave era.

I just want to wear a skirt with thigh high socks, but I also want to wear those stupid ass sailor uniforms with funny prints. I feel like all kawaii fashion always looks somehow outdated because I honestly can’t find a reason to wear pic related that isn’t for just some pictures that only I will see from time to time.
I miss wearing kinderwhore outfits, I didn’t know that was the name of that style, I just used to wear whatever seemed closer to Lolita because I wanted to wear those cute Lolita outfits with lots of frills, not those that depends on the print to look nice.
Something else I’ve always wanted to own was galaxy printed shit, I had a time in my teenhood in which I wanted to be like some sort of cool universal being with lots of eyes that could see everything. this was before gravity falls btw I was already an adult when it got released
Another thing I’ve always wanted to wear was arm warmers and leg warmers and things with a shitload of zippers, sadly, I never found something like that, but if you want an idea, pick a Kingdom hearts character with huge shoes and put a bunch of zippers on her clothes, then give her leg warmers and arm warmers and voilà, a 2000’s anime character and my dream outfit as a teen but that I wouldn’t get caught dead wearing nowadays because that shit would make me look like the shortest and stubbiest tree stump.

I miss that Hipster inspired casual fashion that was popular in the early 2010's. I love how there was a big focus on patterns. I miss the more earth-y tone colours(I love girly and frilly clothes but I can't stand pastels).
I miss it's overuse of accessoiries and hats. Back then I thought the accessoiries looked dumb and tbh I still kinda do but I would be lying if I didn't say I'm nostalgic for it.
The fashion also seemed non-sexual. Men didn't really find it appealing. And make up wasn't such a big focus. After how sexualized the fashion of the 2000's where it was nice to have something that focused on layers and leggins while still looking cute. Also since the fashion focus on layering it meant that people would often reuse the same pieces rather than constantly buy hauls.
This style also had it's own mini subculture where there was a focus on liking "geeky" stuff like books and sitcom TV. But it never really became about consoomerism. Sure, it was bonus point if you wore merch but it was not expected to have a huge collection.
Also girls who where part of this semi-subculture seem more interested in connecting with other girls of the same hobbies rather than seek out male approval. I feel like today in geek circles girls seems more interested in showing their collection of coomer figures of to men or dress sexy because of empowerment or whatever.
The hipster style wasn't without it's flaws of course. There was some nlog behaviour, but that's standard for any teen girls and there was an anachan problem. But looking back this style seemed way more down to earth than whatever ia going on now

Scene and emo girls get compared to e-girls because of the whole "edgy subculture widely popular with teens of today" thing, the comparison is interesting for cultural reasons mostly, but comparing the apparel itself outside of this scope and according to an abstract idea of elegance is useless, especially considering the more subtle e-girl look from
>>146938 first and third pictures is pretty much only worn by pickmes and e-whores who need to pander to moids to get more traffic to their onlyfans.
IMO the only type of e-girl that should be compared to scene/emo is the type that has split dyed blunt bangs, red make-up with graphic liner, layered outfit with a bunch of chains and larps as Misa from Death Note. I'm not saying they're free from coomer shit because far from it, but at least there is a little bit more to it and there are actual girls who genuinely like the style and hanging out with each-other like normal subculture kids.
I think the idea of wanting to look cool to your peers rather than to normies is an important point of alternative fashion styles. Something purely made to look hot to regular pedo scrotes is uninteresting.

Come to think of it, that era in general was oddly unsexual. Cropped flounce or swing tops obscured your bust and waist. Yes, people could see your bandeau, but the looseness of the tops made it unclear. Cropped tops were only getting back into style and they weren't tight, they were loose and still obscured your actual body type.

Obviously scene looks stupid to a majority of outsiders (same with the alt flavor of tiktok egirl I described), I don't even think it looks good either tbh, but it did its job at being an edgy flashy subculture look for teens and young adults.
Sorry for sperging, fashion is cool anyway here's some gyaru

Idk what this look is called but it's from the 1960's and it makes me very sad that nobody dresses like that anymore.

I miss early 2010s lolita, dreamvs soft gyaru, and hardcore trashy dia gyaru. I really liked those American-Japanese style soft girly outfits like Kota used to wear. Also miss those fake Vivienne Westwood rocking horse shoes.

i miss these types of glasses. jealous of the people whose insurance only covers this type like i read because where i live only square shapes or giant rounded square ones i hate are sold. they're literally nowhere to be seen as far as i've gone due to zero demand. maybe they were unflattering on some people but they looked hot on the right ones

I miss the late 2000s indie aesthetic. Before social media really took off where every zoomer has to dress like they DIY'd clothes too small for them to be considered trendy.

>>307354I really miss that aesthetic too nona. Like the crystal castles and skins tumblr era from like 2006-2012 right. It was really big here in the uk and iirc the east coast of the US.
People had messy textured hair (either natural and wavy like a mermaid or flat ironed and poker straight and choppy, sometimes jet black, bleach blonde, sometimes with washed out pink or pastel through it) and wore lots and lots of stuff from topshop and thrifted things/stuff from grandmas closet. I remember there was lots of shiny stuff and sequins. Smeared heavy eyeliner, sometimes glittery eyeshadow, with neutral or bare lips. Skins really made that wild party aesthetic popular, lots of rips in stockings, bottles of vodka, pills, cocaine, shirtless guys etc.
Shorts over pantyhose, lace tops, blazers, pastel tights, lacey slips, jeffrey campbell chunky lita boots. I will try to make a quick moodboard of things I remember from that era. I get so nostalgic for it too
nonny.

>>96904this summer i saw not one not two but FOUR guys dressed exactly like this, two pairs in different locations on different days. i was so shocked as i had never seen anybody dressed so "hardcore" hair and all in real life kek, and i was in a very small city in poorfag asia too.
i took a sneaky picture of the last two i saw but it's blurry and i'd feel weird posting it here. i just had to so i can have proof of my sightings. i honestly thought people like that were extinct

I'm so happy that whatever is this, (I think it falls under nu-goth), is long dated and looks kitschy.
Killstar really had people that think that ~ * ~ i luuv horror movies ~ * ~ is goth on a strong chokehold.

>>307532I used to LOVE this shit as a teenager. Maybe because it was so accessible and easy. Every single time i bought clothes from such brands, 9/10 i would either return them or they sat in my closet unworn and i would end up selling them. It's a very ugly aesthetic. Anyone trying to dress goth are 100% just buying normie clothes in the thrift store and being a little creative.
>>307581>assume the person is annoying or an OnlyFans whoreI think the exact same thing lmao. Admittedly, i see dollskill as one of the better altwhore stores since they still sell stuff that isn't too offence and can be worn everyday. Killstar has managed to get even uglier and release the most repugnant looking clothes ever in recent times. All of their dresses always had the most unflattering fits, not even the models could make it cute. And for $80 dollars a piece. No thank you.

Does anyone remember picrel Aksinya Air? She was a fashion blogger from Ukraine and popular on lookbook, I think around 2012ish? Everything was comfier, cuter and wasn't about trying to be retro/something from by-gone days. Also I prefer the top-heavy silhouette.
