Shoes, hats, thrifted pieces, archival pieces, accessories, jewelry, and allat good stuff as-well-as external influences that help put together a cohesive outfit.
Here is a beginning outline for trying to draw some fashion inspiration hope you enjoy
💖
What’s the vibe?
Are you relaxed, trendy, comfy, a f*ck boi, preppy, artsy, sweet, or bad? What vibe do you want to exude when you’re wearing the outfit you have on. First impressions are important, but so is the confidence or lack of confidence exuded in the outfit you’re wearing.
Can you hear me?
Are you a punk? Are you into punk rock or jazz, or are you into the Neptunes or Tyler, the creator? Whatever music you listen to, let it influence your style. What brands are your favorite artists wearing? Pick what you want to incorporate into your style, and don’t forget to have fun with it and make it your own.
Celebrity no. Inspired yes.
Even though celebrity culture is currently crumbling as we speak.
“I know……yikes.” But look at what brands they’re wearing or, even better, look at what they’re wearing and see if you can find it for a lower price or make it yourself. You don’t have to go out and buy a designer brand name clothing, but you could see how you can rework it and how you can make it work for you.
Tweakin 4 high-fashion!
Look at fashion magazines, runways, advertisements, and other high and get a feel for which pieces your drawn to and search them up on eBay or a second-hand sight for the low. Archival pieces from JPG *Jean Paul Gaultier* and Vivienne Westwood are in right now. Mixing high fashion with soft everyday basics works in perfect harmony, so give it a try.
Your vibe, your tribe!
Whether your Goth, Alternative, Lolita, or R&B Goth, or whatever subculture you belong to. Dress it and express it. You don’t have to be apart of any subcultures to pick certain things that you like and incorporate them into your wardrobe. Just make sure the subculture you take from isn’t one that has cultural or racial significance to a particular group because then that would be appropriate, and we don’t do that. As long as it makes you feel confident and isn’t culturally/racially inconsiderate, you should feel free to express it.
