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.

    form should follow function: choose clothes for comfort in the elements, the dangers of the job site and the forces of reaction.

    red is a wonderful accent color to offset the blacks, earthy browns and drab greens of camo and/or the depersonalizing effects of a black ski mask.

    keep an eye out for black turtle necks, black boots and knock off (polarized) wayfarers to go with your militantly shaved/shaped black beret and leather/field jacket.

    just kidding, always dress regular and normal until you are sleeping in a basement with like 6-12 comrades that have shaved heads. then you should all dress exactly the same because lol
