thrifting mostly, surprisingly i find a lot of good clothes in non-alternative stores like pacsun and hollister :P

i get alot of my scene from acdc rag its a japanese brand and its super inclusive

i HIGHLY suggest looking at romwe, they have high quality stuff of all styles for really low prices. you can find majority of the actually fashionable things in the womens section but they fit everyone. they also have plus sized stuff!

i just usually get my clothes from online shopping or thrifting. sometimes it's even easier to get accessories during halloween time, at shops like spirit halloween. i don't really like shopping at bigger stores or companies. but when i find something good and affordable, i'll get it. thrifting is definitely my number one though!

local metal & goth shops & thrift stores and i also make a lot of my own clothes 2 !

THRIFT STORESSSS and then i diy alot of stuff like adding studs, spikes, patches, lace, ext. 

this is kinda embarrassing but i get my skinny jeans from forever 21 :,) they make RLLY gud skinny jeans, ripped or not, and they have some baggy stuff which is pretty cute 2! i will say hot topic is bringing back tripp pants (tripp inspired) and i have a pair which r awesome! im still obsessed with hot topic although everything is expensive in there. the store near me has rlly gud stuff if u rlly look for it!!

yeah same, i go thrifting or buy stuff on depop

Honestly. I don't know if every country has this but Vinted is an amazing app. My entire wardrobe (including bags, accessories, shoes, etc) is ALL from there and it is surprsingly and amazingly cheap and has amazing stuff

I became a #1 fan of Aliexpress, they sell a lot of scemo clothes there :]

any plus size online stores recommendations for emo 2000s clothing ? 

Literally anywhere i guess. ESPECIALLY around Halloween XD 

either shein, hot topic, or spencers !! :3 they have rlly good stuff and if u search hard enough on shein u can find rlly good clothes ! hot topic has the coolest stuff ever so i recommend ! :]

YIn Mexico there is a market where all alternative clothing is sold and without spending much, you can find anything that has to do with alternative, Patches of any genre of Metal, Gothic clothing whether dresses, shirts, corsets, also jewelry, boots, posters, skateboards, books, vinyl records and many other things related to alternative!

i thrift a lot of my clothing or get them from Hot Topic, Spencer’s or if im feeling creative i take old clothes and use my artsy skills to make them scene/emo :3

as for jewelry, usually Spencer’s, thrifting or shops around downtown where i live :>

i have a jean jacket i thrifted myself and ironed on a bunch of patches onto it :D it’s reeaaally big on me and so comfy and my fav piece of clothing that i consider scene ^-^

tbh... fast fashion, new look for my baggy disgusting cargos, and this one alternstive shop that has like 2 places in my country and that if i reveal will definitely be resposible for my doxxing soooo uh yeah. not revealing :3

Usually places like Amazon or if im lucky, charity shops, but  usually Romwe

i mainly shop online, mostly from asian apps since  they have a lot of cool stuff, or i wear my mom’s old stuff from the 90’s/2000’s

for me, i usually have to get creative. hot topic is nice, but i feel like they aren’t as emo as they used to be. so sometimes when i’m out i have to think how can i style a piece to look emo, or how can i diy it. 

thrift stores, online, and online thrift stores like mercari and depop are really good places to look. 

goodwill mostly but i do have some hot topic and spencers stuff

Hot Topic is so expensive, and these days the clothing they sell looks like what normies think emos would wear

personally, i would go to local market places with small businesses !! most of the time, you can find all sorts of clothing from the 2000s but they’re kinda pricey imo =__= but i did find an abbey dawn jacket for $30 and some tripp pants for $80-90 ^^ usually, theres some sort of bin where clothing are less than $20 so look out for that !

I get my stuff usually from shein but I've been starting to look at good will and secondhand stores. It's actually easier to find things like tighter neon shirts, skinny jeans, camisoles and just anything that isn't super baggy or cropped

i get alot of my shirts from bluenotes, hot topic, and urban planet. what are some good places i can find decent band merch since hot topic kinda fell off?

I usually shop at goodwill, but if you look really hard you can find some good stuff at Spencer’s. Any thrift store or “skater” style store will work, most of the time they both have some band tees and other stuff :]

vinted, ebay, charity shops but its hard to find there so you gotta look real hard - you can also DIY

Yeah hot topic can be very over priced. I tend to look on ebay or in my local thrift stores for things. Sometimes Target will have some nice band tees for cheap and the dollar store (dunno what it's called near you, but where I live it's the dollar tree) has good accessories. 5 below might also have some good accesories but i havent had the chance to check.

I usually get my clothes from thrifts stores like savers and goodwill and stuff yk?

Thrifting!!

hot topic and spencers are a treat but i think i wont even anymore because they've been burning a hole in my bank account when i visit like twice a year so i thrift everything and buy something really cheap online 

I live in a place in Australia where there really isn’t thrift stores (except a few that only have things like wedding dresses and its all crazy priced), but I usually find good stuff on Etsy, depop etc!!

i actually make some of my accessories with safety pins, craft chains and o rings, and i get a lil scenecore with it sometimes using ribbons and pony beads as well. 

i def alwayz hit the thrift storez, theyre a must

I’d say most basics for me come from thrift stores, all the jeans, coats, shoes, etc… Have a few official merch band t-shirts, but that’s often too expensive so I usually diy band t-shirts and certain accessories by simply getting plain clothing second hand, then modifying them myself.

Some specific accessories, like wrist bands with spikes or chokers, I find on online second hand shops, in my case Vinted because I live in the Netherlands.

It’s kind of funny, because after a while of trying to decrease my overal clothing consumption, I realized I also stopped buying fast fashion altogether? I found that learning myself how to sew and craft has brought so much creativity and variety into my outfits, I love it, recommend :)

Question:

Where do you get your alt clothes from?

My answer:

I slowly built up my wardrobe, but most of the really cool skirts and stuff I’ve gotten from goodwill. My goodwill doesn’t really have any y2kish shirts or anything really cute so I usually just go there for skirts and dresses. For shirts, a lot of them i got at the clearance section of Walmart or target, aside from the few band tees i own, i had to buy those at full price. Walmart also has really cool, really cheap fishnet leggings and gloves around Halloween. 

For scene kid / emo accessories, the dollar tree is your new best friend. Seriously I can’t tell you how much stuff you can find there if you know how to look. Just today I bought some super cute sun glasses. I’ve even seen a few posts of ppl get the iconic emo kid belts from there. My personal dollar tree didn’t have those belts but its still a good idea to look. I’m not really a hair clip person but you can find lots of cute hairclips there, and even the scene queen tiaras. For more diy accessories, the dollar tree and Walmart usually have stuff to make kandi and crochet so you can make your own personalized stuff!!

Over all dressing scene/emo/or any type of alt really doesn’t have to be expensive. You just gotta know where to look :)

I usually go to goodwill, thrift stores, online shopping, and look at spencers/hot topic for most of my clothes. I like to DIY a lot and would rather pay less for amazing/designer clothes that ppl throw away.

i live in finland so there arent many choices, cybershop, thrift sometimes when i find something good and online mainly emp

depop n thrift stores r amazing places to find 00s stuff, also repurposing old clothes is rlly good!

i usually get my clothes from thrifting or second hand online! for online shopping i like using vinted and depop, as well as plick but i'm pretty sure that's only available in sweden. i find that people tend to overprice more on depop than vinted? vinted integrated shipping is also really cheap and easy to use. ebay is good too!! shipping can get pricy though <//3

my clothes are won or from small stores in my city, some more specific things I buy at shein or aliexpress :)

usually thrift stores like savers and goodwill, but sumtimes u can find smthing good at the mall!! however mall stuff is very pricey so b careful!!

I get most of my clothes from goodwill, hot topic and old clothes from my older sister 

def go thrifting. most rare and alt clothing comes from a thrift store.

probs gonna sound like a poser or whatever but I go to hot topic when I have the money

Off Ya Tree is pretty good for band shirts too, I wouldn't reccomend dangerfield though as not only is it dropshipping it's also extremely overpriced and hasn't even got scene stuff or studded belts, basically just mallgoth and sanrio kid.

Etsy, Ebay and Vinnies (thrift store in my country) are my go-tos!! And even if you don't find alt stuff there i've found cosplays at vinnies too. Etsy is good for if you do online shopping and don't wanna use aliexpress
