Ima start- I have an interest in both kidcore and Lolita ~(NOT THE BOOK, ITS A JAPANESE FASHION TREND)~ Fashion. I always wanted to combine the two to get this pastel, simple but kiddish style. Lots of baby blues and pinks, A whole lot of overalls and pig tails. Just cutesy and innocent :D It’s like Kidcore but minus the Lego brick color themes. I’d probably call it uhhhh… I think Teenybopper would be cute!

(Please refrain from insulting me in the comments thank you- I’m hella slow and sometimes may not choose the right words when typing. Thank you w)

    We’re bringin’ back capes and cloaks.

    To prevent the obvious reference, the trend will be called, “‘No capes’ only applies to superheroes.”

    Bring back short shorts for guys. I’m sorry about the occasional accidental testicle shot, but they are very comfortable and not always gay.

        Men need to acknowledge the power of their legs and do it fast before I SNAP. Too many dudes just be like “Oh nah- its too gay” and fucking seal em off, thus ending the days of Leg appreciation./hj

      This is my main beef with men’s fashion. Men naturally stay hotter than women, but they get all the revealing clothing and thin fabrics. Maybe I need booty shorts and a crop top while mowing in 90 degree heat. Why is it always baggy basketball shorts and beefy t’s unless you want to do $80 at lulu lemon

      I have an old, ripped up pair of work pants I use to do outdoor work like mowing the lawn. About a month ago a new rip appeared at the base of my buttocks that I didn’t really notice until one day I went to mow sans underwear. Lemme tell ya, the brief breezes of cool air that would get me right in the nethers was so refreshing. Like drinking from a crystal clear and cool mountain stream, except with my balls.

      So if not short-shorts, perhaps some expertly tailored pants with breathable mesh in specific areas? or kilts? kilts would work great 👌

    Made a different comment. Deleted it. Had a better idea:

    Those loose, light clothes that people in middle-eastern cultures still wear as traditional clothing. There is a reason they came up with those when they did. Elsewhere in this thread another peep was complaining that men don’t get to show enough skin and specifically citing heat as the reason this annoyed them. I say fool. Showing skin will not save you from the heat, especially as climate change continues to cook the planet. It will, in fact, make it worse.

    If we are to survive being cooked alive by the sun, we will need to cover up, as the people who inhabited arid-and-extremely-hot places for centuries have done.

    Actually, since the Dune series got an injection of popularity with non sci-fi nerds thanks to the Denis Villeneuve films –

    – We could call it “Fremencore”. Integrate some futuristic aesthetic influences so people don’t think it’s cultural appropriation.

    I want it to be super cool to wear really old but well maintained clothes…

    I want people to be all like “oh sorry, this is only 3 years old, I had nothing older to wear”

    End the “color of the month” crap and all the hot fashion trends

      I do believe there is a niche of people into that. Though my view might be skewed by The Algorithm :tm: knowing I like vintage fashion.

      My youtube shorts recs are full of chicks trying on their grandmother’s old and well-kept clothes from the 50s~70s.

    Power Hatting.

    The style is expressed by trying to have the most powerful hat; by which I mean the most big, intimidating, unwieldy monstrosity of a hat possible. One that’s so big and complicated that you can barely hold your head up and might even need shoulder bracing.

    The purpose is to invent a fad that is hilariously stupid to watch people try and follow so that I can point and the laugh at them all the way to the bank. Because fashion is stupid, and money is useful.

    I would be happier if plastic surgery, instead of always being aimed at making people closer to all the same, was used to make us look different. Elf ears, horns, tails, big noses, different shaped faces, neanderthal brow lines, creative changes. That is the style I’d like to see happen.

    Also, since I’m in Florida, fancy parasols.

    I’d want to take the fedora back from the incels and neckbeards. Other currently out of fashion hats and caps too, but the fedora has been too monopolized by inceldom when it’s a perfectly serviceable hat for folks who wanna dress up from ball caps.

      It’s not on the Threadiverse, but if you like retrowear, I remember seeing The Fedora Lounge, a forum with a bunch of people who are into retrowear and are willing to go to far more work than I am to obtain, reconstruct, commission, maintain and wear it. It was fun to browse images of, though.

      https://www.thefedoralounge.com/forums/

      EDIT: I think that a lot of the reason that hats got clobbered was people spending more time indoors. If I’m outside and the sun is really blazing down, having a broad-brimmed, light, mesh-sided hat is nice. If it’s raining, having a hat (or hood or something) so that water doesn’t head down inside my collar. But…if you’re inside, you don’t get the benefit of the portable shade or protection from the elements. And a lot of time that people aren’t in a structure with a roof, they’re in a vehicle with a roof.

      In the heyday of the hat, it was proper to take the thing off indoors. So if one follows the same convention, for most, there’s just less time for the thing to spend on one’s head than it was when people were spending a lot more time outdoors.

      EDIT2: Since it’s an existing style, a shot of a fedora from Double Indemnity:

        I am IN-FUCKING-LOVE with this website. Hands down. It all looks so fucking wholesome and endearing to me. Buncha holder men cherishing that nice, vintage-style look and rocking it real well. Found this picture and I smiled so fuckin hard. He looks like sucha kind man, A grandfather I wish I had but never met. This makes me hopeful.

          Ah, glad you like it!

          It’s got tons of years of posts on there, though unfortunately, a lot of people used external image hosting places that ultimately purged images, which kind of killed the longevity of many of the older forum posts in some cases. There is, perhaps, a lesson for the Threadiverse here…

          I remember seeing some guy on there who IIRC said that he was a police detective, and was determined to dress like one from the 1940s or so at work – the kinda stuff you see in film noir movies. Was pretty classy-looking, IMHO. I would never, ever go to anything approaching that much effort, but I enjoy watching other people doing it. There are also some women who are determined to do noir femme fatale looks on there, all sorts of fun stuff.

    I don’t know what I would call it, but I have been wanting a more furry style for quite a while. Like hoodies that have ears on the hood (or hats with the same), things that are actually fuzzy and such, tail belts that actually work as belts, etc. Not just character designs on t-shirts or just using furry art on the clothing.

      I have an instance of Stable Diffusion. Lessee if it can mock up “Kolanki Superfurry”.

      Like hoodies that have ears on the hood

      or hats with the same

      tail belts that actually work as belts

      I dunno about this one. That’s kinda a novel placement, so SD can’t infer much about where stuff goes. Maybe you could do it with more-elaborate stuff like regional hints or ControlNet or something, but that’d take more work.

      pokes away for a while

      Eh. Yeah, doesn’t do all that well. The problem is that tails are normally portrayed as being much lower than a belt is normally worn.

    I think that we’re kind of not answering OP’s question, since exactly one person as of this writing other than him has a new style, and everyone else is nostalgic for older styles that people aren’t wearing any more, so I hate to add to the “nostalgia” pile, but I kind of miss the denim jacket from the 1980s. Sometimes quilted, if you needed extra heat. Was durable, though not appropriate for precipitation, since it couldn’t shed water. I don’t really live where I need heat, but I remember really liking them. They were comfortable, very tough, not very expensive, and I liked the look.

    Jeans have never gone away since they showed up in the 19th century…but the denim jacket seems to me to be a lot less common.

    Today, I’ll sometimes wear a loose, very light, unbuttoned denim shirt over a T-shirt, which is about as much as I need, heat-wise. This kind of thing:

    Light denim shirt:

    People certainly wear those all the time. Kinda miss the thicker, tough denim jacket, though. Haven’t had one for ages. And I didn’t just like wearing it myself, but like how it looks on others, and it works for both genders.

    Don’t really understand why denim pants had so much more staying power and universality than the denim jacket. They seemed like a good pair.

    Business Flambouyant

    Take your business casual fit. Make the khakis skin tight and stretch them up around your waist, maybe add in a horrible sash akin to a novelty tie. Widen the sleeves of the shirt, make em a bit poofier without going full swashbuckler. Widen the collar. Make the toes of the loafers a bit pointier, and give the heels a good inch of platform. When outdoors, a diagonal hat is optional.

    Can I make t-shirts + shorts + flip flops become a new formal wear if it’s fashionable enough?

    As for something more fashion-y, for men, I’d make something with lots of freedom of movement, aesthetics as pure afterthought. I hate stuff that shows my belly whenever my arms go up or legwear that won’t let me sit, crouch, stretch or anything without feeling like my fat ass can rip the fabric at any time.
