all the family (mother and sister) in my household are other girls/women (eccentric, lesbian women no less), and given our similar proportions we share/borrow much clothes with eachother. we used to live somewhere super north so we have a lot of baggier and skin-covering clothes, especially hoodies, as well as a lot of stockings and arm warmers (that "similar fabric to cover the hands/arms") for obvious reasons. i did of course experiment a lot with these!
personally i also began dressing by just seeing what other people around me wore, then tried to suit that to my own preferences. it definitely does take a little experience though, but of course there's only one way to get that, so don't be afraid to experiment :) (even if it's just in the confines of your or your friend's home).
currently the trend in my city is sweats and hoodies, but when i started out jeans were especially fashionable, so i tried those out, per the suggestion of a friend (note: friends are great for this!).
uh as for tops, again i have borrowed many a coat/dress/sweater from my family. still though, i found there were absolutely styles that are better than others for me. early on i discovered the fun that colorful clothing can be, and i haven't really stopped since! graphic tees are awesome too. starting out, sweaters were mostly my favorite, but there were a few that really emphasized my wide shoulders, which i personally hated.
aside from that, it took me a while to feel confident going out with makeup. my mother is a jeweler though, so i have a lot of bracelets and other fun stuff like that!
clothing is so so fun, so do experiment as much as you can! this is just scratching the surface of what i wear
OH MY GOD i feel called THE HELL out... x3
if you do this though i think !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone would love it
Oh, you bet I'd post it to !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone !
Thank you for this write-up. Pretty cool story to read by itself :)
That's also what I have the most qualms about (or only qualms, kinda).
Thankfully the climate here is rather hot, without long, or particularly cold winters, so I can keep it light for now (wallet wise, too) :)
