struggling to find my alt fashion
![]() | hi guys! I'm 25F and I don't really have a distinct style, and I definitely don't have the terminology to describe what I'm looking for, but hopefully someone can help me out. I've been looking for more "alternative" long-sleeve/short-sleeve graphic tops. to give a vibe, I like the general style of lurking class and metal band merch (black and white, black and red...see pic from bad omens website). I think I've seen it online described as death-metal style. a lot of the times when I do find it, shirts have swear words and/or edgy stuff like like "back off" or "up yours" which I don't like (or sometimes nudity/gore). I also see american traditional designs or anime-adjacent neon type stuff (like phonk vibes) which aren't my style either. when I look at forums for alt style, I see people recommending shops like killstar and dollskill, but I don't see long-sleeve/short-sleeve graphic tops (mostly stuff like fishnet crops), and when I do find my general style, it's skin-tight 2000s-era vibes. I have nothing against that, but it's not what I'm looking for; I'm looking for something more casual. I usually go for men's clothing for this reason...I'm tall and thin with long arms so men's shirts fit me well anyways. any suggestions on where to shop (online preferably)? thanks in advance! p.s. I want to make it clear I'm not hating on any of the styles I mentioned that I dislike. I just suck at describing what I want and find it easier to say what I don't. [link] [comments] |
