How do you dress?

[Exasperated_Youth]

I assume that quite a few of you must be communists, and the rest socialists. So many of you will be against the whole consumerism/consumer culture, yeah? What do you wear? Do you just shop in normal shops or what? Sorry, just trying to clear this up.

[Burn A Flag]

I assume that quite a few of you must be communists, and the rest socialists.

A lot of Anarchists too.

[Wanted Man]

I just wear "normal" stuff. I used to have all sorts of band shirts, Che shirts and print shirts in general, but then I turned 18.

[Demogorgon]

Typically I wear clothes. People who want to go for the "Communist look" aren't interested in communism for the right reasons frankly. I don't wear branded stuff incidentally, but that is more for common sense reasons than political ones. Why pay through the nose for an item of clothing based on its label when you can get a more or less identical item for a fraction of the price?

[bcbm]

i exclusively wear gold lamé tracksuits.

[Cyberwave]

ALL MY SHIRTS ARE DESIGNER CHE SHIRTS THAT I BOUGHT FROM THE GAP. I WEAR $80 JEANS FROM HOT-TOPIC BECAUSE I'M A REBEL AND MY PARENTS CAN'T MAKE ME WEAR THEIR PREPPY TIES AND SWEATERS.

Well, I wear a lot of black. Just plain black. I'm into Gothic and Steampunk type of clothing so that's always nice to wear. I only have one communist shirt and it's merely red with a hammer and sickle on the front.

[ed miliband]

Thanks for reminding me that I need some new jeans and trainers. Think I might go for a pair of Adidas this time.

[Blackscare]

I'm anti-capitalist, not "anti-consumerist", which is really just an empty gesture that accomplishes nothing loved by liberals and the more fail anarchists.

Now, I do think that there is sort of a vapid consumer culture promoted by capitalist culture, but that doesn't really make brands good or bad, it just makes people sheep.

[mollymae]

From what I understand, most people here don't really advocate consumer choice as a means to solving problems. Most would agree that choosing to buy local as opposed to buying from big business, while a good choice with good intentions, will not really solve anything in the long run because one individual's choice does not mean much to a big business. They mostly advocate revolution over gradual changes. I don't speak for everyone by any means though so correct me if I'm wrong.

I personally think it makes sense to avoid supporting something you don't believe in even if you don't think it makes much of a difference, although that is more symbolic than anything. Plus, it's not like anyone has the choice of if they want to participate in capitalism or not. And to be fair in most places it's extremely difficult to avoid being part of the "consumer culture".

[The Ben G]

I dress similar to a Crust Punk. I only buy things (or at least try to) cheap from non chain stores and websites. I usually wear Green Boy scout pants and White or Black shirts with Black Boots and White socks. I also have really long hair that always looks messy.


On Sundays I look like this. Except I have blonde hair.

[black magick hustla]

i bought two pair of jeans from urban outfitters yesterday lol

[Stand Your Ground]

I haven't bought pants in years, I wear Southpole jeans though, which is probably bad.

As for shirts I buy cheap plain T's from Olympia Sports and alot of printed shirts from eBay.

[Nachie]

I only rock hides that I have skinned and tanned myself using primitive methods, preferably from bears that I slaughtered with my hands. Absolutely no shoes, and a crown made of sword ferns.

[TheSamsquatch]

I wear what i can afford. Che shirts, an EZLN shirt, shitload of Black Flag shirts and Bad Brains as well, dickies shorts or goodwill jeans, and a pair of Vans i've had for fucking ever. My only guilty pleasure is white wifebeaters. I don't care how i look in them, they're comfortable.

[Raúl Duke]

I wear mostly t-shirts (usually with graphics from Element, Volcom, or from some brand that I can only order online, also sometimes simple solid color), jeans (dark hues of blue; usually jeans from pacsun or wherever I can buy good cheap jeans), and Adidas shoes.

Sometimes I might have a short-sleeve plaid shirt

I hate cheesy leftist shirts and avoid wearing them, idk they seem childish.


i bought two pair of jeans from urban outfitters yesterday lol I have urban outfitter aviators sunglasses.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Shit that I can buy in bulk.

[Lyev]

To be honest, it's not an important issue for me. The way someone dresses has no correlation with their politics at all, whether they're a communist, anarchist, neoliberal, fascist or otherwise. I'm against consumerism, but living under capitalism, it's sort of hard not to "consume" stuff.

[Tavarisch_Mike]

An armour made in pure ivory.

No seriuosly, now in summer times i have shorts and one colored t-shirts and in the rest of the year i wear cheked shirts, black jeans with stretch, hiking boots, white sneakers ore converse. Shouldnt this be in chit chat?

I'd say I go along more of these lines. ^
I try to avoid brands that probably make their clothes in fucking child sweatshops though.

I look like your average, street skating, trouble making, cop hating, punk.

"LOL BRAH, PASS THE HASH"

[Stranger Than Paradise]

I just wear plain stuff. Don't really like big logos or brand logos that much out of personal preference.

"LOL BRAH, PASS THE HASH"Don't you buy clothes then? You walk around naked?

[Invincible Summer]

Dark-colored straight/skinny jeans/shorts with solid-colored/band t-shirts.

Nothing fancy. I used to be into that whole "anti sweatshop" thing, but I'd rather that the Indonesian worker gets their .10/hr than my "feeling good" that I paid $50 for a goddamn t-shirt.

[Sasha]

"how do you dress?"

most days i start with my underpants.... except on fridays.


MOVED to chichat

[leftace53]

I'm plastered with logos. And bling, lots of bling. As well as clothes that are 5 sizes too small for me creating a massive muffin top.

[Manifesto]

I wear bland, drab, olive colored clothing.

[A.R.Amistad]

I'm a freak. I wear just regular jeans and sometimes I get called a redneck for wearing the kind of jeans I wear, but whatever. I pretty strictly wear metal band shirts and political shirts. Otherwise just a shitload of spikes, leather, combat boots, sometimes a denim jacket, and a hammer and sickle belt buckle. I'm called the metalhead-redneck by my peers. Hey, it grabs peoples attention :b

As for the consumerism thing, I agree 100% with Greyscare

[Il Medico]

Lots of stuff from thrift stores and discount department stores. It's summer here so right now A rolled up long sleeve (light colored) dress/collared shirt and khakis or jeans. And sunglasses of course.
http://www.transair.co.uk/images/sunglasses/rayban_aviators_gold.jpg

Also been wearing this a lot.
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tSY0ib1moNk/S8XqW14t4hI/AAAAAAAAA1I/3SsPb-T22hA/s400/1.jpg
$12 bucks for these and their comfortable as hell (more than I can say for my equally priced trainers).

And one of these:

Hahahaha...

[Animal Farm Pig]

I kind of poor, so I don't spend a lot on clothing. That being said, I pretty much have a "uniform."

If I'm doing physical work (my warehouse job), I wear khaki trousers (got a bunch from local thrift shops for $2 - $5 each), and a brown BDU shirt (local military surplus has them for $5 each), with a khaki belt ($1), and the tan combat boots I was issued in the Army. On the weekends, I replace the BDU shirt with a plain white dress shirt (very cheap at thrift shops).

During the winter, I will add a brown Brooks Brothers suit jacket that I found for cheap ($8) and had tailored to fit. If it's very cold, I will wear a black wool Italian Navy surplus peacoat.

[9]

To kill.

[#FF0000]

Button down shirts and black jeans every day.

[Mindtoaster]

I wear che berets and massivley oversized shirts with hammer and sickles on them to my school everyday

Then I get on chit-chat and make threads asking why girls aren't interested in me

[Veg_Athei_Socialist]

I wear the same two pairs of plain black pants with holes in them I've had for a year or so. Have a few band shirts(one I got from a small shop in mexico) and random black ones(a few from second hand stores). They're all really cheap. I wear a pair of vegan hiking-boots all the time. I usually end up sleeping in my clothes(boots and everything) and don't care how rinkley they get. Sometimes I end up wearing the same outfit for a week without noticing. I just don't really care. Make of it what you will.

[La Comédie Noire]

I've been told I dress like a dad. :lol:

[Chambered Word]

Usually I wear a shirt, usually white or band (Sex Pistols, Dandy Warhols etc), jeans, leather jacket and either sneakers or Dr Martens.

[Bilan]

Hipster scum-y.

[Leonid Brozhnev]

Plain black or illustrated t-shirts, I used to wear military surplus khakis but now I just wear jeans. I have a pair of brandless work-boots that I found in a box outside but were in perfect condition, and also a slightly beat up leather jacket for colder days that was massively shat on by a seagull last time I wore it.

[AK]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CaMUfxVJVQ

[Monkey Riding Dragon]

I have a lot of personal quirks. High-tops, elbow warmers, berets, and capris (and often in combination) are some of them. I also have developed a habit of tucking the front part of my shirt in and leaving the back part untucked.

I never wear dress shirts unless it's to work, and I only have to wear them on one of my jobs: my part-time job in retail. Overwhelmingly, I prefer Ts. They're much more comfortable than any other kind of shirt, I think.

Yeah, I have the standard Ts and hats proudly displaying my political position (e.g. Bob Avakian Ts, Mao Ts, etc.) and a T promoting breast cancer research (it runs in my family), but more generally I make my own tops and sometimes also my own pants, e.g. sometimes by sowing halves of two shirts I bought in the store together to make a new shirt.

[Dimentio]

Black jeans. Black shoes. Black t-shirt (usually a monster on it), black leather jacket.

People who don't know me assume I'm right-wing.

[BeerShaman]

Summer: T-shirts, most have some little etiquettes or brand shit on them, but usually it's fake brands (cheap stuff bought on the pubic market in the roads in myyneighboorhood every monday). Some band shirts. I generally prefer brown, green or black. Though sometimes i dress colourfully. Shorts and fisher-pants, mostly khaki green or brown. I also wear a black athletic hair band so as to gather my long black curly hair back. Converse or white sneakers. Always black or white socks.

Winter: Fat jeans black or light-blue, black grey brown or green loose sport shirts with hoodies, or purple red and blah blah woolen shirts. A black beaver jacket. Beaver high converse shoe/boots. Always black or white socks.

I am anti-consumerist, while it follows my ethics of if you want to achieve something you have to try to be like it. Like Ghandi's saying. Though, it's mostly personnal and as I understand the "anticapitalism is one, anticonsumerism another" I don't propaganise over it.

No leftist shirts, don't want to make revolution just a fashion.

[Sasha]

http://www.rebelart.net/diary/wp-database/uploads/2008/terrortea1.jpg

[Fietsketting]

Well, i wear alot o pretty casual. My closet ranges from lacoste and Stone Island to autonome outfits, you name it, i have it. We all been young, haven't we? :blushing:

[Monkey Riding Dragon]

Okay, to add something to my earlier post that will surely take this thread in a somewhat different direction, I also am actually one of the few Marxists I know who keeps up with society's fashion scenes. I don't mean in the sense of always having to be "in" (or even trying to be), but rather in the sense of finding historical/social meaning in yes even fashion trends.

Take for example this late-May article that was in The New York Times called "Maxi Skirts Making a Comeback: A Long, Lean Backlash to the Mini" (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/27/fashion/27MAXI.html). You'll notice how the article discusses feminist influence on this development and also connects its origins to the 2008 U.S. stock market crash that started the current global economic crisis. See, I find that interesting!

Again, not that I actually apply these trends to myself per se. I'm not one whose given to wearing skirts at all, regardless of length, for example. I just find it interesting to look for the social meaning in cultural shifts, such as that described in the linked article.

[Fullmetal Anarchist]

A lot like this.http://img212.imageshack.us/f/winnerscenekidao2.png/

[piet11111]

Usually i wear workman's boots from work (cuz i have 1 other 6 year old pair of shoes that are not as comfortable)
Black T-shirts (i have 4 pairs that are 8years old but still OK only the color is a bit more greyish and super-comfortable its like i am not even wearing it)
Green jeans from work or black jeans (less then a year old)

None are branded except the green jeans that have a logo from my workplace.

And yes for some reason my clothes always seem impervious to wear and tear.

All this comes with my unshaven face because i hate shaving more then twice a week.

[Angry Young Man]

I usually start by putting on a pair of boxers, then socks, then t-shirt, then trousers. If smart-casual is required, I add my black shirt, and if it's a bit nippy, I put on a hoody

[Jeoh]

Button-down shirt with either jeans or dress pants. Sometimes a t-shirt.

[Hoggy_RS]

I wear alot of adidas stuff. More into tracksuits or combat pants than jeans. You'd also often catch me in a liverpool or rugby jersey.

[No pasarán]

somewhere in between skinhead/mod/scooterboy/casual

[deLarge]

Usually a button up over a white undershirt, jeans, and some loafers. Or shorts, sandals, and a t-shirt if I'm hiking or its over 100 or whatever. Mostly I get them from Costco or on sale at TJ Max or whatever; I'm not picky, and can't be arsed to memorize brand names. I have some necklaces that I made, and I got a fairly nice watch marked down 80% on amazon a while ago.

[samofshs]

I dress similar to a Crust Punk. I only buy things (or at least try to) cheap from non chain stores and websites. I usually wear Green Boy scout pants and White or Black shirts with Black Boots and White socks. I also have really long hair that always looks messy.
those shorts are just INDESTRUCTABLE!!! and i tend to dress pretty plainly unless i'm going out somewhere. i have two newsie caps i wear and and a pinstriped suit where the stripes are lime-greene i bought at goodwill. other than that just pretty much scout related t-shirts that i get for going to events and such and cargo shorts. and of course my philmont belt.EDIT: i have a few pairs of hipster looking shades and my hair is shaggy. i'm also getting a tattoo :D

[ellipsis]

i dress like im homeless, some pairs of pants are 10 years old.

[Pavlov's House Party]

Right now, dress-pants and a dress shirt, but when I have to do work outside or do sports I wear a flannel shirt with an undershirt and jeans.

[The Red Next Door]

I have names but they were all christmas gifts, i didn't get them myself and i have a couple of leftist shirts, one from IMT and one from the IWW, i am getting another from imt, but want to get a shirt from my own party.

[Qayin]

Like a bad ass

[svenne]

Polo shirt, tracktop, black jeans and a nice and wonderful pair of Stan Smiths. :D

[Veg_Athei_Socialist]

I don't like dress codes.

[Jazzratt]

Currently it's jeans and a t-shirt. The jeans are a few years old so only have one hole (and a couple of bloodstains, but they're a few days old and will wash out soon enough), the t-shirt is on its last legs and has been for a year or so. It's transluscent in parts.

[Vendetta]

Jeans and t-shirts.

And maybe a button-up shirt if I'm going somewhere 'nice'.

[Sam_b]

Very well, thank you.

[elliebean]

T shirt or tank top and shorts. If I need to go outside I step into some flipflops on the way out.

I wear a bit more in the winter, though.

[soyonstout]

i dress the way my uncle used to dress in the 90s, which was how I imagine a lot of people used to dress in the early eighties. but i try to look as normal as i can too

yeah the lady at our school has a scanner and portable printer that she carries around with her. LOL. i just keep walking when she asks for my i.d.:thumbup1:

[Aeval]

At school I did the whole only wearing black jeans/band t shirts/black boots thing too, now I still have the boots but mostly wear colourful things (especially purple) but from cheap/"evil" shops - yes, I buy stuff from Primark, which apparently makes me the worst person in the world :lol:
it's good though, I can wear generic UK high street stuff over here and noone has ever seen it before, and then when I go back I can wear generic German high street stuff and everyone will think it's super cool (or not...)

I've never owned a piece of political clothing - and to be honest I always smirk a little when I see people wearing them (sorry if you do!) - though I do have anarchist-y/AR badges on my bag (which I forgot to take off when a mate who works in the German parliament building blagged us a look around it the other day under the pretence that we were there to speak to some official - remembered to dress up smart and be polite and official looking and then the security guard snatched my bag because he saw it had an antifa badge on it :( and they took my passport so they blatantly made a note of me :( I fail at looking smart)

[The Feral Underclass]

oh yea forgot about band stuff, the peeps at my school used to ***** at me if I wore my Iron Maiden -Killers shirt because its got eddie in a "threatening" pose and it says "I'm a killer" underneath.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I don't like dress codes.

You won't like communism, then. We're all going to have to wear boiler suits, all the time. In gray only, except possibly on holidays.

[Agnapostate]

Dark clothing (mainly black with some blue and brown), aviator sunglasses (scratched, naturally), and combat boots. I don't really care about name brands or prices; clothes are clothes to me.


A lot of Anarchists too.

In what scheme of thought are anarchists not socialists and generally communists?

[Jazzratt]

You won't like communism, then. We're all going to have to wear boiler suits, all the time. In gray only, except possibly on holidays. I hope you're joking about holidays, comrade.

Found these for 6 bucks:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51R28T0N4KL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

And yes, I realize the "US history" behind the boots, and no, I don't care. I just care that they feel amazing, were cheap, didn't look like shit, and fit. :lol:

[Rusty Shackleford]

Well, winter is the only time i have anything remotely flamboyant.

a Pea Coat, black Ushanka(without that pin, thats just god damn ridiculous to wear every day) tied up (unless raining, then its down), blue jeans and some boots. still need to water proof the boots though.

also, i sport a stalin 'stache and i parade around with a RSDRP flag singing the varchavjanka

to explain, its not really sovietophilia that i wear a peacoat and a ushanka.
my brother gave me his peacoat because he doesnt wear it anymore and other than that i had hoodies for winter...
the pea coat provided excellent water and temperature protection, the only flaw was it lacked head cover.
a few months before my brother gave it to me i ordered a synthetic fur ushanka because well, they are bad ass. the ushanka wound up being an almost perfect supplement for head prodtection because it goes all the way down to the fucking neck! and the flaps are tieable, and if necessary i can put a hoodie on under the pea coat and then have the flaps of the hat down and the hoodie over that. uber warm. but i live in ca so thats not an issue. the only problem is rain. which the ushanka helps with quite well.

im only afraid that since its all black (coat and hat) that people might think im a nazi :(


oh and for summer. non descript t-shirt and the aforementioned boots and blue jeans.

[scarletghoul]

normal ish plain black stuff mostly, sometimes i paint things on them. uhh often wear halloween accessories such as skeleton gloves or pumpkin wrist thing lol. spiky belt, purrrple bandana ..yeahhh

They are comfy but i got them for work originally as i do not want to lose toes to heavy machinery.

Mostly shirts, sweaters, and jeans. Not a wise choice in the summer but I do it anyways.

My boots look like this:

[Andropov]

I cant stand boots mainly because of having to slog the ****ing steel capped variety around building sites not to mention having to wear a pot on your head.
But thankfully I havent had to be on a site in ages so normally just snickers and some old pair of adidas runners and a t-shirt when im working.
When im feeling like dressing smart just smart casual with some form of smart track top with a t-shirt, normal fitting jeans and some nice adidas kicks, preferably retro one, trying to get me hands on some Gazelles but cant for the life of me.
Then when I cant be arsed and just a Lacoste or Fred Perry tracksuit I get down the markets for half nothing with some knock off Nike Airs and normally some form of footie shirt.

[Spawn of Stalin]

Check shirt, black jeans, black brogues, black sweater, Burberry socks.

But if I'm just like lounging around or going for a walk or something I guess I usually wear a t-shirt, some joggers and Air Max 90s or low Dunks.

Right now I'm wearing a grey suit with a flowery tie.

[meow]

i tend to undress rather then dress. if you wink right i follow you home ;)

[Mumbles]

whats with leftists and boots

The main reason I started wearing them was that I'm flat-footed and a lot of other shoes (or at least all that the store people have tried to sell at me) have a shitty little bump that puts me off balance, but if the shoe helps support my lower leg too... Then yeah, it's kinda nice.

I also like the fact that I'm finding things I can destroy over time for 6 bucks.
Durability ftw.

Or because I just like to stand out like any respectable leftist should, dontcha know? You guys, hiding in the background, waiting for the right time for revolution, and I've already started the fashion revolution. Sheesh guys. Get with the times. :tt2:

[RedStarOverChina]

I still put my pants on one leg at a time.

Except with some of my old pants. With those, when I put one leg in there's no more room for the other.

You people have odd taste in boots.

[Il Medico]

I wear t-shirts, combats and steel-toed boots. Comfy and hardwearing.
T-shirts? Only when you're working...right?




What the hell are you talking about, combat boots and safety boots are the best kind!
No.

I'll forgive your dislike of metal due to these dapper boots.

Trainers wise i'd go for something like this:

Those Fred's aren't bad, not too keen on the colourway though. I bought a pair of FP boats a couple of months back.

if you are:

I wasn't being serious, but I do like what's he's wearing.
They might be Alife, they look kind of similar to

But obviously the one's in the picture have the white badge at the top. If you like that style of trainer, maybe get some black Vaiders?

Those are my boots. They are the footwear that I use 95% of the time. I was issued them when I was (briefly) in the Army, and by now I must have walked hundreds of kilometers in them. They're broken in perfectly and fit so well that I hardly notice that I'm wearing them.

i never ever seen anyone in Europe wearing these. they look like cowboy boots to me.

Nah, cowboy boots are way taller, those are "dress boots", and I don't know anybody who wears them, but it seems like a euro thing to me. We got a pair in my store once, I wore them around, tucked my shirt in, and slicked my hair back, I think we called it the "german creeper" look.

[Quail]

Boots are so comfy. I have a purple pair of veggie boots:

I wear them all the time and they're the comfiest shoes I ever bought. I wear them with jeans and a tshirt or girlier clothes, when I actually wear them. I tend to dress in jeans and giant man-size tshirts.

[Obs]

Ohh christ.
I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that but seriously....?
What are you talking about? Those are absolutely stunning. I envy people who can pull those off.

[Wanted Man]

I've only ever seen two or three people walking around in boots like that. Except that they were not black and shiny, but brown and dirty-looking. I do not know these people personally; they looked like twats, to be honest. What else would you expect with boots like that? I don't see what's so "euro" about them.

[Andropov]

I don't see what's so "euro" about them.
Yanks have a somewhat warped perception of reality in Europe.

Grey or faded blue jeans/ white blue grey and other color tshirts and black dm shoes.

I think you're right. But as I recall, don't you dress somewhat "chavish"? (I think thats the culture I'm thinking of)

I reckon 'most normal people' think you're a weirdo judging by your typing style.
That said, you're right about the general dress style of the left haha.

[nuisance]

It's not just middle class people that do that, and to suggest it is makes you delusional but that's to do with the amount of dickheads that dress like that.

[Jazzratt]

well yeah middle class people in England like to laugh at people who wear tracksuit bottoms and call us chavs I've yet to meet a "normal" working class person that has anything but bad things to say about chavs. Just saying.

[NecroCommie]

I have yet to meet a "normal" person... Just saying...

[Jazzratt]

I have yet to meet a "normal" person... Just saying... Oh for fuck's sake you know what I mean.

Bailey is hardly identifying himself as a "Chav", hes just saying that middle class twats like to identify him as a "Chav" cause he wears trackies.
BTW I hate the term Chav, a derogatory slur often just directed at innocent working class people by the media and the middle class.

[Jazzratt]

Ah, well fair enough then.


BTW I hate the term Chav, a derogatory slur often just directed at innocent working class people by the media and the middle class. It's not really a term I use for pretty much this reason. It is often used, though, by workers I know. I know one bloke, though, who argues that it refers to middle class wankers who are trying to act "hard" by aping what they view as working class traits (ignorance and brutality) which makes sense but is certainly not how the word is used in the mainstream.

[9]

Maybe he was thinking of the term "Chavismo"?

[Quail]

I don't use the word so much anymore, but when I was at school I used to refer to people wearing trackies and being assholes to me as chavs. Some of them were not very well off, but a lot of them were fairly "middle class".
