Forum: Fashion, Style, Shopping

I have just come out of a big stage in my life where I was finding who I was and where I wanted to be in life and I've finally decided that the alternative music group/ style is where I fit. I kinda always knew this cause of my childhood ( my parents listened to Marilyn Manson and Three Days Grace all the time), but I want to know where/how I can help myself look "the part" yk. idk if those are the best words for it but im bad at explaining things.

EBay, Thrift/Charity shops are a great way to get things on a budget! DIYing too like adding studs, patches etc can be really great. Accessories too can b a rlly good way of bringing ur outfit together

i suggest going to thrift shops / fairs in your city and diy your own stuff, there are a lot of tutorials on yt

also, if you have a sewing machine available, you can sew some of your stuff :3

What people aren't mentioning is alt was built off of DIY!! Cut/dye your clothes. Learning to sew is a major plus so you can add on to clothes. If you can try making DIY accessories like necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, chokers, hair clips, scarves, masks, etc. 

Don't keep the customization just to your clothes and accessories. You can put pins on your backpack or hat, if you have canvas shoes you can draw on them, stuff like that. Being alt is being anything against the norm. Be yourself and express your creativity!
