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.

    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.

      Tbh that's just been men on the internet for, like, ever. They're just gross in general and the moment skirts becomes normalized, they'll fuck off to the next thing lol
