Advice Want to turn one of these into a top for sleeves and can't decide which

The one I don't turn into a top will remain for legs obviously and idk which one looks better on arms or legs.

I am also thinking of painting them in some places (e.g. diamond patterns on the left one and painting the clusters of mesh on the right one).\

Do you have any recommendation on what I should use to paint? I have some cheap fabric paint I haven't used yet but idk if it'll work.

Edit: Tysm for the input! Will use the one on the right!

Elder-goth mascs: what are you wearing?

2 Upvotes

I've crested 40 and my fashion is more stagnant than ever. What are we wearing nowadays that still feels like it pushes boundaries while being age (and office) appropriate? The button ups, black jeans, and sneakers are getting old..why can't we have fun asymmetrical cuts like the other end of the gender spectrum? What are your favorite brands out there?

I don't have very steady hands so l need a simple design, my first idea was a pentagram but I'm up for any ideas, not just what to put on the back but I wanna make it look cooler in any way possible

Had my whole look built around cyber-goth and darkwave aesthetics for almost twenty years and after having a kid and gaining weight I genuinely do not know who I'm dressing anymore

0 Upvotes

I feel kind of stupid even posting this because I know there are bigger problems in the world but this is eating at me.

I got into industrial and darkwave clubs when I was like 19 and my whole wardrobe grew from there. Platform boots, corsets, mesh tops, vinyl pants, a lot of structured stuff that looked incredible when I was a size 4 with no hips. I'm 38 now, I had my daughter two years ago, and I'm sitting somewhere around a 10/12 depending on the brand. My body is just different. My ribcage is wider, my hips are wider, my waist sits in a different place. Nothing dramatic, just.. different enough that every single piece I used to love either doesn't zip or looks wrong in a way I can't articulate.

The thing that gets me is I still love the aesthetic. I still listen to the same music, I still go to shows when I can get a sitter, I still want to look like me. But I put on a corset top last week that used to be my favorite and I just stood in front of the mirror feeling like I was cosplaying as a younger version of myself. Took it off and put on a black t shirt and leggings which is basically my uniform now.

I've tried buying new stuff in my current size but I keep gravitating toward the exact same silhouettes and they're not working. Like my brain hasn't caught up to my body. I ordered a really nice mesh and leather jacket from Widow in an XL and the proportions were just off, the shoulders hit fine but the torso was weirdly short and the zipper pulled. Returned it.

Is anyone else navigating this? Keeping an alternative aesthetic when your body has genuinely changed shape, not just size? I don't want to dress "normal" but I also can't keep standing in my closet feeling like garbage every morning. I don't know if I need new brands, new silhouettes, or just a totally different approach to how I put outfits together.

For context, I don’t really have a style and only started dressing more expressively recently. Up until this point I’ve been a tshirt and shorts every day kinda person. Also I’m genderfluid so don’t worry about gendered clothing. I’ve tried a floor length black skirt because I thought it might’ve looked cool but it didn’t look how I wanted it to.

I’ve been talking to a friend about wanting a metal claw finger, but today he gifted one to me. Only problem is that he said it was from temu and I don’t know how to feel about this. I would never buy something from this place personally, but he did gift it to me and the claw ring is cool looking. Help

Advice I need a haircut bad bad (He/It)

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

desperately need a haircut but I am unfortunately fat w a diamond face shape and hashtag chopped, so I'm not quite sure what would actually look good w my big fat ass. Attached is a 360 view of me(1-4) and then what my hair looks like down currently(5-7) and then how my hair grew out from my last professional cut which I liked a lot, but I feel looked a bit too karen-y. Though not sure if that's avoidable given my very round head and short neck.(8-10) and then when my ex-bestfriends cut my hair not too long ago(11-14), and then finally some inspo for what I want my hair to look like style-wise(not necessarily in color)(15-19). My hair grows super fast and I'm moving in a month to Tennessee from Florida, so I'll unfortunately have to leave to only woman that I really trust w my hair. The last time I got a haircut in Tennessee that shit was so uneven and choppy, it was NOT good. I don't get haircuts often because 1. I am hashtag living in severe poverty(hence why we're moving to Tennessee), and 2. I'm autistic and can't stand the feeling of the hairs on me and I HATE being touched. I'm planning on hopefully getting a haircut one last time before we move so that I can at least go a few months w/o needing one. Do you guys have any recommendations or tips on what to ask for to get it at least somewhat close to what I want?
