    I went to the mall recently and at first, I really felt like everyone was staring at me. There were these two boys I ran into three times who repeatedly told me to bark every time they saw me. My friend said it was because I was wearing a face mask that looked like an animal mouth. But I also got a ton of compliments from other goth girls and blonde suburban moms alike. I choose to remember the compliments. It was a good day, and I looked awesome.

    A tip for if you're struggling to find alternative cloths is basically buy non-alt clothes and punk them up with accessories, footwear and other stuff, for example i have a few floral dresses that i wear in summer with my fishnets/thigh high socks and my red doc martens and it looks really cool :)

    • @RattusRattus
      @RattusRattus  3 года назад +71

      YES !! 100% ! On that note, a lot of my clothes in this video (though thrifted) were originally from not alternative brands (eg Ralph Lauren, forever 21, baby phat, etc) so don’t be scared if you don’t have alt stores around, you can sometimes find spooky things at normal stores if you look hard enough!
      And 10000% yes to the floral dresses with punk accessories!! Gives me Courtney love / summer grunge vibes 🥰🥰🥰🥰

      @Liv or Olly I absolutely love doing this. I live in Louisiana so it’s always hot and humid March-October. My favorite thing to do is get light flowy dresses and add a black lace trim or safety pins then accessories like fishnets and jewelry. You have to be careful with the fishnets though cause you can get fishnet shaped tan lines and it really sucks. It can takes weeks for them to go away. Also embroidery is also something I do and it’s so simple and a really cheap way to customize stuff.

      Jumping on this comment to add: cut a little square of tissue or toilet paper that covers your nipple and put the tape over that!
      If you're planning to leave the tape on for longer than a day or have sensitive skin/nipples, you can add a little bit of cream/lotion on the nipple before adding paper and tape. (This only works if you're adding the tissue square since the glue on the tape won't stick if you put it onto a lotioned patch)

    Mismatched tights are also an option. Just cut one leg off each pair, and layer them. Also, it's generally a good idea to wear (little footie) socksin your boots if you want to wear fishnets, because fishnets and hot feet in leather boots can sometimes be a little uncomfortable.
    Umbrellas can be turned into "parasols" by adding a lace ruffle.

    @laurentcathery273 3 года назад +319

    Another advice i can give to people who dont feel confidant to wear what they like is to gradually do it! I personally live in a conservative area so i will get looks, but over time you dont notice them anymore. Like for exemple i wanted to be more alt so i started by wearing more "normie" things like tank tops with graphic designs on them, i get two or three looks but i continue doing it and the 2 or 3 looks start being meaningless to me, then i had fishnet, i get a little bit more looks but by this time i dont even notice them that much, then i do my hair weird, then i had accessories, wear women's shorts (im male passing btw), wear makeup...etc and its my friends who now point out "lots of people are looking at you" and im like "oh really?" Because ive slowly over time built this resistence to it and im just so focused on gradually being myself that i dont notice them. (The main reason i do stuff gradually is because my fashion sense is not really accessible to me either cause well its not in my area so i have to order or its expensive) but regardless of my main reason i have found that doing things slowly does help with your confidance and not give a damn. Like if you are male passing and your goal is to be andrgynous, start of with nail polish only, its such a small thing most people wont care or notice and then gradually incorporate more until its you who dont care anymore about others!

    • @RattusRattus
      @RattusRattus  3 года назад +57

      HELL YES I think gradually immersing yourself in a style is a really realistic and helpful tip!

    Another tip fabrics wise: try your best to find items that are completely or mostly made of natural fibers like cotton. Synthetic materials and fibers like polyester do NOT breathe, they're plastic clothes. They will be SUPER sweaty to wear compared to a cotton shirt. Cotton is made of plants and is meant to breathe and will be more comfy to wear :))

    Thank you for making the comment about committing to one scene/fashion style. Your style should be your own. I like more than one music genre and I like incorporating that into my wardrobe because eventually it isn’t just punk/emo style clothes, they’re my clothes. I don’t think it was this video but another one you mentioned people tell you you’re not punk because you don’t dress traditionally punk and that’s not right because punk is about being yourself and just appreciating the music and messages. At the end of the day what you wear should make you happy so everyone should experiment and blend styles as much as they want to! Just discovered gal fashion (specifically amekaji) and it’s so left field from what I was into in the past but it’s growing on me haha

      You need to do what I do---have 2 closets. One is for business, and the other is for fun clothes. Actually, both of mine are big wardrobe cabinets, and each has a dresser for the smaller things. This works best for me, and nothing gets mixed up. (Jan Griffiths).

    As a part-time crustpunk, my go to clothing tip for the summer is to simply start some crustpants from some sort of really short shorts and just make them longer as it gets colder, that way you always have a place for all the cool patches you don’t find places for…
    Also whenever i bleach/dye my Hair i tend to use some piece of clothing i want bleached as a towel so i get way more usage out of the bleach

    My biggest tip for plus size / taller women: Hot Topic's plus size is almost entirely online, but it uses a lot of the same patterns and sizing as Torrid (which is owned by HT, btw) so it's absolutely worth it to go through their stuff. Also, chubrub or bike shorts. No one will see them and they will save your life.

    I really like what you said about clothing and other people judging you for wearing certain things. I'd like to dress more alternative sometimes but a lot of my friends, who are Goths and Metalheads, told me I'm not supposed to do that because it's a lifestyle, not just fashion and even though I mainly listen to Goth, Rock and Metal music, I don't consider myself part of any of those communities. I look "normal" most of the time. My friends think when I dress a bit more Goth for concerts, festivals or just when I feel like it, it is kind of disrespectful to them and others who actually are Goth. Which is why I don't really dare to wear my more alternative stuff; just to avoid discussions. I guess I shouldn't worry so much about them and just wear whatever I feel most comfortable in.
    By the way I love your "fashion-y" videos! They inspire me to do more DIY projects! So keep them coming. 😊

    I love your tips on confidence but wanted to add stuff that works for me in case it helps anyone else:
    1. wear alt clothes to walmart. no one cares what you wear at walmart lmfao. or if you have a chance to go to a bigger city (I've moved to las vegas from a small town and altho it's not super common to see alt fashion, it's more common than my hometown in the middle of the bible belt)
    2. wear alt clothes with friends. istg this turns my anxiety to almost 0 if you're not the only one standing out, or even if you're the only one dressed alt they can at least help distract you
    3. if you can't work up the courage to dress for yourself, dress for other people like you! the more people are unapologetically themselves, the more other people will see those people and find their own confidence. I struggle to dress up purely for myself and so I like to remind myself that dressing how I really want can inspire people and normalize alt fashion even in little ways, so it's easier for other ppl who wanna dress alt to finally do it without as much backlash.

      Tie bleaching is great. I do that as well as tie dye. I finished a couple of shirts a few days ago for a friend of mine. She wanted colors on her black shirts. I tie bleached first, then tie dyed with the colors she chose. They turned out great. She liked the clothes I made for myself, so she wanted her own. I have a separate washing machine I use for doing this. It's an old wringer washer without a timer or cycles. (Jan Griffiths).

    I've just recently subscribed to your channel. I just wanted to say that every time I watch your videos, my thought is "OMG they are so cute!" Not just your looks but how you speak and you are very uplifting!
    I turned 30 this year and just didn't start dressing the way I wanted to (goth) up until maybe a year ago because I was always worried about what people would say. Your videos have helped me a ton! Also, your cats are adorable!! Thank you for being you ❤❤

    Thanks for talking about the confidence thing. I think you're totally right about wearing new outfits at home until you're comfy in them. That's also a great way to build your style & work out any issues with certain clothing items. I have the tendency to rush into wearing new clothes in public, and that's the worst place to realize that something is ill fitting or not what you expected. Also, I have social anxiety & what's helped me to cope with it is to remember exactly what you said: that most people are so focused on their own selves that they're not going to worry about or notice all the little things that I'm hyper focused on.

    tanks you for your video, i’m visiting my dad in corsica ( i’m french ) and i was very stress out but now i’m exited because you inspired me to really have fun and try new stuff for my outfit, i would descibe myself as a punk but i don’t know any punk in real life so i’m lacking inspiration, thank you so much your video really made my day

    Huge tip for these types of videos: READ THE COMMENTS! There is so many comments that come up with new ideas, how to do stuff, etc. I suggest reading the comments after the video or in the middle of the video because it helps a lot!! lol
