i'd say the cutoff is 27 since you'd be an official adult by then/expected to have your life in order by society. but honestly its not a big deal, just be self aware and you're good

there is no cutoff.
however there should be a different amount of class and grunge as you get older, like if you're 30 or 40 and wanna dress edgy? go straight ahead, just don't look like a teenager on ig or tumblr with ripped jeans and fishnets and tore up crop tops and all that shit, go for a "glamorous edgy" type look

No. 226513
>>226446Honestly, you should be able to dress however you want as long as it looks clean and fits your body type.
The issue really are fat people squeezing into too small outfits or sloppy people in general with dirty hair and makeup.
David Bowie dressed however he wanted well into his 60s, and then there's this older teacher who a photographer mistook for a model during fashion week when she was just going out and about in her home city. I think she's awesome
http://www.konbini.com/us/lifestyle/accidental-icon-lyn-slater-teacher-turned-model/I'm in my 30s now and i still dress how i want, though i'm more aware as an older woman i can't dress as i did in my teen years. It's about balance.

I don't go to gay bars anymore because bad experiences with transbians, but I've never met one with a tacky sleeve tat or something. Same goes for haircuts, unless just having shorter hair counts. Also, is a leather jacket really that edgy? My dad wears those…
I don't understand why you're getting so pissy about this btw, I was mostly just meme-ing. This is a boring argument and it honestly seems like your only exposure to lesbians is bad stereotypes and Life Is Strange.

>>226576Supreme and Bape and those brands are tacky as shit imo. Overpriced and just boring advertisements for the brand. It’s paying excessive money to be a shill..like why do that? Especially for clothes that don’t even have a lot of skill put into their construction like a couture brand would.
You can go buy average quality cotton tshirt and make exactly the same products for $20 and less but idiots still think it’s worth $175-$300.
Switch out supreme for ‘tasteless’ or ‘poor financial decisins’

I think, as other anons have said, looking or dressing edgy can be done at any age. It just should adapt/evolve according to what you are doing in life and what your age is.
Like if you're in a freelance or more alternative career or are a student, you typically have the opportunity to dress more open and 'weird', so different haircuts and colours, more extreme cuts and prints are going to be more fitting for you, since the people around you are probably going to do the same (normalfag example but look at Buzzfeed, a lot of their producers/content creators dress extremely edgy and 'young' though a solid amount are in their mid to late 20s).
If you have a more steady or office type job, you have to be more careful or 'classy' with your edgy looks, especially while you are just a regular worker and not someone in a particular position of power like a boss or a manager. Day to day you can dress more edgy but it also gets exhausting having two wardrobes/trying to be two people at the same time, so blending a more mature collection with what edgy aesthetics you enjoy is key. So maybe layering darker colours with cool accessories, or mixing an acid wash skinny jean with a cool top and a blazer would work. It's just working with what you can do and what fits with your current surroundings.

Anyway, I've never brought anything from there but I've seen some hauls where the girls do tend to like the clothes, personally everything looks bad and cheap. But you do you. It was just advice - tbh don't have 1st hand experience just visually not impressed.
No. 226880
>>226848They used to have LizLisa, MeJane and some other gyaru brands, now that the trend has worn off they have lots of Korean brands like Chuu and Stylenanda which aren't super high quality but they aren't shit either.
Sure they're overpriced but people who buy clothes from them are paying to not have to go through the hassle of shopping services and customs. Plus their loyalty programme actually does give you some pretty steep discounts.
I've been a customer since 2009 because they often sell cheap sunscreen, I'd never buy circle lenses or any kitchenware from them but some of the clothes really are fine.

>>226627thats a photo of Liv Tyler in the 90s, that was a totally normal style back then, nothing "edgy" about it.
My advice to everyone in this thread: take a break from lolcow for a bit. You're all becoming way too hypercritical of you own age and what might be considered "edgy". Please don't try to live your lives based on what an anonymous imageboard tells you too. Most people here think that you're old if you're over the age of 22. Don't regret not dressing the way you wanted when you're on your deathbed.
You won't be a cow if your only crime is dressing weird past a certain age.

>>226881This.

>>226446 is edgy or alternative. The most outlandish outfit in either collage is Kinashen's photo (atleast I think that is her), and she only stands out because of her editing making her look like a CGI character.
The outfit in the upper right hand corner is just a denim jacket with a black t-shirt, how does that style have an age limit or count as "edgy"?
And I really want to know what certain anons in this thread think is appropriate wear for someone above the age of 25. Khaki's and mom jeans? Pant suits and pencil skirts?
No. 226892
>>226881I never agreed that her outfit was edgy, just said I think it’s bad and not age appropriate. My taste hardly defines edge, or what anybody can wear, anon. I know it’s a fairly typical 90’s look, I just don’t agree that it’s good.
Thinking certain looks aren’t good and saying so on a thread discussing outfits and incredibly vague aesthetics isn’t exactly screeching from the rooftops “only fools wear what I disliiiiiiiiike” or telling random women in the street that they are not allowed to wear what they’re wearing.
Maybe this is a good time to take your own advice and not read so heavily into an old critique of an even older outfit, and a fairly common opinion about branding.

>>226884I'm a super old and I wear whatever the hell I want. Sometimes it fucks me off when I see something that I could have pulled off at twenty but just don't have the body for any longer, it's usually swimwear tho, so yeah, not terribly limiting.
If someone doesn't like the way I look or my style of dress they can fuck right on off. Anons in the thread twitching about being twenty eight, omfg. Children, listen to the old and come to terms with that shit fast, because you're gonna be fifty before you know it. Wear whatever the hell you want and stop giving so many shits. You'll be happier and healthier for it.

All I can think of is Deathcandy and Cajsa.Murk
I don't know how old Deathcandy is as she hasn't really plastered it anywhere but she looks late 20's/early 30's or so
Cajsa is just late 20's
They both just look tacky, Cajsa Murk especially so because she's just gripping onto this tri-hard edgy Nazi Satanism shtick but just eats junk food all day while sporting serial killer tattoos
And I mean, personally I don't find anything wrong with older alternative folks or whatever, but this edgy thing is just truly tacky and screams "forever alone" past 24

>>226525My only experience with seeing someone wear Supreme irl is a coworker that has actually said he couldn't pay his phone bill that month because he bought a hoodie for $200+. Needless to say, I lost any amount of respect I possibly could have had for him that day.
>>226521I am 100% excited that I still like her accessories now that I am an adult and can buy real items and not eBay knock-offs like I did in high school. The only item I did get of hers (that was authentic) was those Wing rocking horse platforms that I still have. I gave up buying any new school clothes that year for them lol. Still have them though!
I think, like quite a few anons do here, as long as it looks good on you it doesn't matter what you wear. You need to be aware of what flatters you and your body type. You don't have to give it up entirely when you reach x age… or, at least I feel that way, anyways. I'm 25 and can actually afford the weeb/edgy shit I wanted to buy when I was in high school and college bu couldn't due to finances, so I do purchase some of the pieces that would have longevity (i.e: VW jewelry).

I think you can still have an "edgy" style in your late 20's - 30's as long as it's not filled with uwu pastel goth shit. Helen Anderson is 27, somewhat alternative and looks good to me.
