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.

    Everyone here knows the answer is large ill-fitting woolen topcoats worn all year round.

    Aren't you warm in that? No I'm insulated from the heat, i'm perfectly cool under here.

      Honestly if I lived somewhere a bit colder I'd dress like the main dude in that Love Death Robots episode about Russians killing aliens

      Can confirm. Love my 1960s French Air Force Greatcoat. Does get a little warm once the temp hits 35C.
