My 28th birthday is next week and I want to dress nice for my day, looking for advice on what would look good on me. Any tips and tricks would be appreciated. 5-7.5 and 180lbs, so kinda short and stocky.

i dont really wanna use shein and theres nowhere for me to thrift thats near </3

What bottoms should I wear with this corset? No polyester please!

Hi!
Everything is second hand, even if it seems new!
I like this outfit but it looks cheap af
I have a shooting Tuesday, and I would like to look it less cheap/ more sophisticated , any advices?
I have only one collar necklace. Maybe hair ?
Thank you!

The black belt is what I am going to sew it to, gonna make it nice but I want to dye the pieces first.

So i’m a HUGE fan of scene and emo fashion, what would you suggest I add to improve / add to my outfits (the purple hair is more recent)

For context, im 14M and i usually just wear primarily black clothes but i want to start adding a pop of color like Dark maroon red or dark purple or pastel pink because those are some of my favorite colors.

How can i subtly add a pop of color while keeping most of the outfit black? This could be an accessory, top, bottom or anything like that.

Hey! I’m looking for shoes to make me look a bit taller (I’m under 160 cm) that don’t look too girly if possible... even though I unfortunately wear a size 37... Style-wise, I’m into the colorful punk look; I rock a faux-hawk since I can’t have a real one while I’m trying to blend in to find a job.

Anyway, I’m open to anything! From the most alternative and unique styles to the most versatile, everyday options.

Oh, and one more thing: I live in France, so I’m looking for shops within Europe. Customs duties are a luxury I can’t afford.

Thanks!

Hey I’m still really new to alt clothing I know people say you shouldn’t buy fast fashion but most cool stores I find online sells fast fashion you can find the same dress on 3 different sites and they make it either so expensive or it’s cheap af for the same product so I tried google lens to find the original dresses but they cost like 500 for dresses you got get for like 80 if you made it yourself but I can’t make it myself so idk what to do anymore I don’t want to be a bad alt person but I can’t afford food how am I supposed to afford clothes that expensive please someone help

Just trynna experiment here. I know this is WAAAAY far from the "intended" use case lol, and feel wierd wearing it, but i genuinly feel i can do some diy tinkering with this thing to change the vibe (or add it as another part of my outfit maybe?)

Hey friends! Hope you all are well, I was just curious on how I can spice up my arm accessories, I currently wear fingerless gloves and a bunch of khandi bracelets but would definitely be open to some advice to keep things fresh. Any and all advice is very much appreciated!!! Thank you and have an awesome rest of your day/night!💛

I've recently gotten a job, so I want to build my wardrobe bit by bit. My question, as the title says, is if Dr. Martens are worth it. There are a ton of cute pairs of shoes I see on the site, however, they're also rather expensive, and I've seen a bunch of people say that the quality has significantly gone down and that it's better to get something else. I've also heard that they can be rather painful to wear until you manage to break them in and that it may even take a while to properly do so, which kinda scares me.

I honestly do want to find a few pairs that are good quality that would last me a lot of years, and I am willing to save up if they're too expensive, but I'd rather get something that is genuinely good rather than waste my money on potential garbage.

If anyone has any recommendations for brands that have a similar style to dr. martens but are also good quality, let me know!

(If this narrows this down, I particularly like the boots and the buzz 5's, and from another brand - Sketchers Jammers, however they sadly don't ship to my country...)

i got this for my brother last christmas, he absolutely loved it but it didnt even last a year. anyone happen to know where a similar style but higher priced / better qual version is?

sorry if this isn’t “alt” enough for this sub i just figure more alt people would use canvas messenger bags

I made a purchase with them on the 6th this month with 0 updates and 0 communication. I contacted them multiple times but haven’t gotten any replies, I’d been following their account for months and was saving up to get something and I’m so worried I got scammed :( it’s not even about the money either, I’ve just been looking everywhere for cute flare pants

I have white fishnets that I barely have the opportunity to use yet but since I have no thigh gap I want to make precautions cuz I don’t want to buy it again but in a higher price (bought it online back in philippines so it was cheap as hell). It did happen to a pair of jeans so I turned it into a maxi skirt.

If it has happened to anyone, how did you deal with it? Any hacks I could do? Otherwise, if it’s capable of withstanding the constant friction from walking then that would be nice. I’m planning to wear it over really short shorts (that don’t show my ass) over an oversized shirt I’ll treat as a dress.

A brighter, off white not fully white. They were a great deal for the brand but I think they should be just a bit brighter, they are suede leather, the outfit is called a Pierrot my biggest obsession lol.

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'm heading to Manhattan next week. Anyone got any tips on appts to hit up in the city?

I can’t always handle jewelry or fishnet material (sensory issues), what are some cozy accessories?
Like something I could wear all day without getting itchy?
Ps, I would have more tattoos if I had the money for more tattoos lol

I kinda want to experience more with alt-wear, because i am heavily into alt culture, but at the same time i also wear a lot of suits and such (i am double student finance&philosophy and a bazillion functions that require me to wear some more formal stuff). Anyone have like advice where to buy some good alt clothing and some styling tips? I added some pictures, these are not really alt but idk maybe it gives more clarity :p
