There has to be a way to dress gothy and masc in a way that's also comfy. Like "clothes that could also double as pyjamas" level of comfy wear.

[gromqueer]

sweatpants?

[homunculus-argument]

Do you have tips on how to style sweatpants in a dressy, goth way?

[vinylcatlocket]

pick a pair of pants at the thrift store that you think are nice looking and comfy. then pair it with a t-shirt from the menswear section. make sure it calls to you. personalise it if you feel like changing anything about it. you have to dress like who you are authentically.

if your most authentic self is goth, and the way you sourced the clothes is more faithful to goth values, then it's going to be a super comfy goth outfit.

remember, goth is not a look, so much as it is a lifestyle. you have to have the values and practices and the aesthetic will follow

[homunculus-argument]

The problem is the first sentence: there is no known overlap between "looks good" and "comfy".

[caffeinatedpunk]

I have a few ideas but depends on how much effort you want to put on it. Diy is not only a punk feature, goths have always diy'd their clothes. I am more punk than goth but the two are not that far! They are like alt cousins :)

Quickest and easiest way to make a pair of sweatpants look goth is to bleach them. You could either dilute it and spray it on the pants or put a bit of bleach in a container, take a brush and just splash it on the pants. Leave them outside in the sun for a bit and wash them (do not put them with other clothes just to be sure you are not ruining anything). I'll say one hour and you have your personal pair of goth sweatpants.

Another thing you could do is to put holes in them. Take a pair of scissor, cut a small hole and then bush a razor on it to give it a more ripped look.

If you have more time, a bit of money and you want to try something more complicated, you can sew patches, paint them, add some metal eyelets (idk if that's how they are called in english. The metal things in the shoe where you put your laces in), chains, etc.

As for the top, band shirts!! Black shirts!! Black tank tops!! Halloween themed stuff!! You can also find them already goth enough or add patches, pins, laces, etc etc. Same goes for sweatshirts! Be creative! And also accessories!! Spike bracelets, necklaces, etc can change the look and make it more goth even if you are just wearing a pajamas.

Definitely look at old goths looks. They can be the source of great inspiration for diys. You do not need any fancy or expensive equipment or that much experience to make cool things. And remember that all of these subcultures are about breaking societal norms and expectations. So honestly going around in your pjs sounds very goth!!!

I think people misunderstood what I meant with the sweatpants: I do not want to be seen in public in sweatpants. I would rather just go with no pants at all than have to wear those in public, but unfortunately that attracts unwanted attention.

When I said "I don't want to look like I'm wearing sweatpants", I did not mean "if only there was a way for me to wear sweatpants", I meant "I do not want to be a person who wears sweatpants in public".

If I said "I hate lemons so much that I'd rather eat human shit than touch a lemon", that does not mean that I am looking for suggestions on how to safely consume feces. This is not directed at you personally, I always get misunderstood in ways like this and I don't know how to make it stop happening every time I open my mouth.

it is 100% because you said, and I quote “Do you have tips on how to style sweatpants in a dressy, goth way?”. you have to indicate if you are being sarcastic, or people will, god forbid, take you sincerely at your word and give you exactly what you asked for

me growing out my facial hair: I wonder if my coworkers will stop misgendering me now

my coworkers: weirdly accepting of me as a ‘woman’ with facial hair, continuing to confidently call me ‘she’

[genericbrandshrooms]

interesting, another coworker apparently also thought it was weird I was getting ‘she’d and asked my pronouns. Made me feel better

[genericbrandshrooms]

the other day I went mini golfing and I was wearing a blue hawaiian button up and a black skirt and I’ve been growing out my facial hair as a little experiment for a couple weeks. I felt peak non-binary, which was great until I had to use the bathroom. I literally had this moment standing between the two doors thinking “I can’t go in the men’s room with a skirt… but I can’t go in the women’s with facial hair… but I have to pee… what do I do??”

hate it when the people who I love are suffering due to circumstances beyond my control 👎 there should be a sea monster that I can slay to fix the problem

[beastliness]

nobody ever gets locked in a tower or chained to a rock at sea anymore - it's always some shit like chronic illness or ptsd related depression

i know water benders can bend blood, but has the idea of earth benders bending blood ever been explored? like metal bending? or is there not enough iron in blood for that to work. at the very least you should be able to kill someone by ripping all of the iron / other trace metals out of them, right?

[genericbrandshrooms]

Calcium is a metal, so they should be able to bone-bend, right??

Gamer voice: Your family is kinda woke, dude. Your mom is a woman and so is your sister. It just isn't realistic. Feels forced.

[genericbrandshrooms]

You’re right my bad, I will make my mother a man and that will be much less woke.
