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.
building your identity thru consumption is a disease of neoliberalism. but also i bet your fit looks sick as hell.
You might be right tbh. I dress the way I do to give off vibes that'll attract the people that I generally enjoy the company of - because everyone judges a book by its cover at first. Aren't some fits a form of art though?
on second thought i may have been too strident here blaming the entirety of fashion on neoliberalism. it does make people do odd things though.
