So, alt and punk culture is - because that whole counterculture thing has always had left roots.
However, alt culture has started to go a bit hypebeast crazy - buying clothes that are mad expensive for name brand recognition value.
For me, I have some outfits that I think qualify as Brutalist fashion, if there can be such a thing. Utility fashion. I wear my big manual labour work boots, a sturdy black jacket, then trackies or cargos. It’s not meant to be pretty. Just comfy, and useful.
I have another outfit in mind that’s a sort of homage to USSR Space Exploration, but it’s not fully thought out yet.
Whats some cool lefty fashion stuff? Facts, fits, whatever. Just kinda riff around the subject.
BEEP BOOP COMRADE.

Joyless scold here: Fashion is bourgeois. It is just another way to exclude the desperate. Just wear clothes and try not to judge other people by their clothes.
No, it’s not. Historically fashion has existed long before the bourgeois and will long after they’re gone as a class. What has happened is that the bougies are setting the tone of what is fashionable in the mainstream, just like it was the nobles before them, and just like it will be a lot more distributed between people after them…
building your identity thru consumption is a disease of neoliberalism. but also i bet your fit looks sick as hell.
You might be right tbh. I dress the way I do to give off vibes that’ll attract the people that I generally enjoy the company of - because everyone judges a book by its cover at first. Aren’t some fits a form of art though?
Lefty fashion to me is whatever people want to wear, honestly. You wanna rock on while in name brands or a big ball gown or casual clothes or a bunch of leaves, do you. Yes name brands/expensive clothes are something to scoff at but if that’s what honestly makes you happy (and you’re not just doing it to show off to others) and you feel good then do it. Self expression and all that
The one trend I want to blow up is men in skirts. It’s just a really cute look and some of y’all have nice legs uwu
It’s getting more popular on tiktok, but I have a bit of an aversion to it to be honest. It’s a shame really, cos my legs are quite nice.
For the people who are genuinely just expressing some gender bending or whatever - go them. Good stuff. But there’s a lot of dudes who are massive asshole misogynists who put on a skirt or maid costume just to pull e girls. Come to think of it, i find a lot of the sexual shit on tiktok uncomfortable, but maybe I’m just a prude. Y’know those videos that are basically just mating calls? Eugh.
