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)

    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.

      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 see a fair bit of fedoras at music festivals and even some hiking or beach days. I think the trilby is a goner though
