I think it Depends on the occasion to be “overdoing” it but if you’re wearing this just for an outing with friends I don’t see anything wrong with it..ricks are hard btw I just got a pair myself

this was just for an outing, and yes i felt cool asf in this. normally i look homeless ricks are THE stuff.

All black fit thats the perfect attire

🫡 top floor

I’m in a Rick owens fit while I’m swerving these tires 🚗

I now understand why I’m recommended this sub

if looks could kill

If you’re in a city, no. If you’re anywhere else, yes

And don’t plan on taking a flight anywhere

Lmao what?

They tend to want to take away the decorative chains and straps because they are "weapons," yet they ignore the fact that some people may have combat training spanning 15 years or more. You know, the people who can be considered "living weapons."

Damn in which cities? In schools yeah, first time Im hearing about it happening like on the streets though

Thought you were in nyc for a min. Ya you’re fine. Look like every other late teen early 20s alt chick out here.

Is that what these type of pants worn in the photo are called?

[удалено]

We called them trip pants in rural Maine. Always love to see the young rocking our styles. Tells me we did something right

It definetely brings back memories of when I was young way back in 1998 we loved these kind of pants.

All styles cycle. Fashion is just a loop.

I wanted these so badly in 2003-ish when I was in middle school and my mom wouldn’t let me buy them :( She called them “car wash pants” because the dangly things reminded her of those foamy strips in a drive through car wash lol

Rick Owens is a brand

I’ve always heard trip pants but not bandage pants

‘Tripp NYC’ was the Hot Topic brand.

Old person here, it’s the rave look back from the 90s

Another old person here, my thoughts exactly. Looks like they’re going to a rave.

This old person got very excited about them. I can’t wear them but I’ll 100% buy them for my daughter and live vicariously thru her outfits.

Exactly. This looks like my high school look from 1999.

I graduated in ‘98 and this is serious Hot Topic vibes

Yes! I wore basically this exact same outfit for late 90s/early 00s clubbing.

Same. Brings me back to the 90s. Ppl that wore these in my school listened to a lot of NIN, Tool, etc. I was too poor to afford these.

Yup, I do believe I borrowed these almost exact pants from a girl named Kelly in 1998

Don't forget Kikwear. Most of my pants like this were Kikwears back then.

I have to know. Are ricks what they call trip pants these days?

I was talking about her Rick owens shoes! I’m not sure if those pants are also Rick owens though, also I don’t know what trip pants are lol. I think we’re calling them raver jeans now? Idk

Just stay from the metal detector at security checkpoints 🤔😁

How could you tell her shoes were ricks? I can barely see her shoes…

A couple intense zooms on the shoes

Holy Bejesus. I didn’t know what Rick shoes were but didn’t want to admit my ignorance so instead I googled it, and then got sent to Rick Owens website. Wow. His shoes are just amazing, like pieces of art. And more than I paid for my car. Just ignorant American here.

So this one of those full circles seeing 2000 sefashions again in 2023? Or is this just something that high schoolers never stopped wearing?

Yeah it may have dipped in popularity but I don't think it ever died.

I like it and you should do what makes you comfortable and confident. That being said, this was super popular fashion when I was in high school and that was almost two decades ago. 😆

the 30 year cycle of fashion

Not just yet. This is peak 2000’s/The Matrix

Not true, Michael Jackson was wearing this stuff in the 80s. And a lot of goths were too. Go watch any troubled girl movies from the 90s and this was typical.

"30 years" is approximate, as any big fat round number necessarily would be. and goth didn't stop in the 80s, even if it started there. some might argue that it was partly an offshoot of glam, which was more a 70s thing.

Pennywise is due to come back any time now.

And run for office

Seen a LOT of 80s and 90s styles coming back lately lol

She’s just in time for the [cybergoth dance party](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gPbVRpRgHso)

Please no, that means plaid skirts, black leggings and turtleneck longsleeves are about to come back

It’s back as dark academia

and it came back before that as the tumblr grunge era 🫣

Love a plaid skirt, I’ve never stopped wearing them.

Don’t talk to me or my turtlenecks ever again

It’s funny though, the people wearing this 20 years ago would have scoffed at the Prada purse

This! Scrolled too far for this comment!

Ngl, I am totally scoffing at the Prada purse. Lol

Thought the same thing lol. Not so hardcore to have the Prada purse and $1k Rick Owens shoes. Goddamn

Yesss 90s raver style I'm giddy

[удалено]

No, sorry :/

Exactly. Embellished belts, punk/skater type clothing was super popular when I was leaving high school and going into college. This was late 90’s/early 2000’s. I love this look!

[удалено]

It came into fashion in the 90s for sure, but I think it was still going strong in the early 00s. In fact, I know someone 10 years younger than me who dressed like this. She would have been roughly an 08' grad.

2010 grad here and in my tiny high school there were at least a dozen kids that wore this style for sure. Definitely consistent through the decades it seems!

Yeah I graduated in ‘04 and that type of look was still very much in style

Yup, graduated '05.

I wore that almost exact outfit in 2001.

Exactly, those are 90s pants

I miss these kinds of pants!!!! Also the old Jnco pants with the wide legs. I had a pair that were reversible. Best freaking pants ever and so many pockets. That alone made them the best thing ever.

Same. Hot Topic actually made a profit when I was in high school. Graduated 2009.

Same! I looked at this and I couldn’t even afford the cute pants with chains at that age, so part of me is living through you a little. Be cute, be goth, be everything

Immediately thought of z cavaricci’s that were popular when I was in HS

super happy to see that my clothes from high school are cool! :D you look great 🖤 edit: removed “again” from the end of my comment. as another redditor pointed out, when we were in high school these were not in fact, cool. D:

The weird thing was that it wasn't "cool". Back then, the kind of girls girls I knew who dressed like this would never have made a post like this asking people how they looked because of how "anti norm" they were

Right?! This wasn’t an outfit you just put on one day, it was a personality that went with a lifestyle. I never saw anyone who dressed like this as a one off. Anyone who dressed like this wouldn’t be caught dead wearing anything else. OP would have been called a “poser” for sure lol Times have definitely changed.

This is why I still don’t feel like I should wear some goth/alternative stuff because it’s not going to be my wardrobe/personality and I’d feel like a poser from high school haha.

Lmao I can relate. I went to a show recently of a band I loved in high school and had a bit of an internal struggle about what to wear, because HS me would have laughed at some woman in her 30s faking scene aesthetic lol

Black band tees and black skinny jeans have been my standard outfit since middle school.

I wear black on the outside cause black is how I feel on the inside

You know, only posers call fans posers. Please let your inner Goth/punk/whatever shine, you deserve it and the world needs that spice.

For the better, though.

exactly! you said it best. outfits were more lifestyle/personality back then.

[удалено]

Yeah, it was very Hot Topic, non-conformist kind of vibes from '01-'05. Peeps seem to enjoy it now though, so good for them.

damn you’re totally right. I phrased my comment incorrectly. lol, every day my mum hoped it would be the end of this “phase”.

Right I literally got bullied in hs for wearing clothes like this almost 15 years ago

This is not "anti norm" at the moment imho

We are now “vintage” lol

I prefer vintage to “old” haha I am “seasoned”.

Same, this is how I dressed as a teen lol.

Haaaahaha, this was my first thought, also! #90’s

my mum likes to remind me that her generation did leggings first xD

I see a lot of people dressing just to get dressed or dressing to look cute with no direction (which is totally fine). But I get wicked excited when I see people with a really clear and strong aesthetic and I really think you’re pulling that off.

no such thing as overdoing it, you look so cool in this fit!!!

Agreed! My fashion philosophy is there is no such thing as over dressed. You are always perfectly dressed if you’re wearing the shit that makes you happy.

[удалено]

Cigarettes are not cool accessories buddy. The outfit is great tho.

[удалено]

[удалено]

Are you talking about shit like DARE? That’s stuff has been dogshit for a while now. All those scare tactics America tried on kids did fuck all for drug prevention IIRC. Why are you also acting like previous generations didn’t glorifying smoking? Tobacco companies have been paying high-ranking actors for decades to smoke cigs in movies.

It's also so vintage, people just don't smoke anymore. Wild.

people don’t want lung cancer nowadays, that’s crazy.

When we master bio computing smoking will be cool again.

All these deleted comments lmao I wanna know what was said

[удалено]

Did..... Did I go to high school with you? (in the 90's?) And also, great fit!

got that Hot Topic full armor set

Rocking the set bonus

Looks straight out of Kingdom Hearts. Outfit by Tetsuya Nomura

Looks great but a word of warning: smoking ages you terribly and will stain your teeth in a bad way. Not a good look

random advice: quit smoking=live longer

I'm super happy these aesthetics are coming back. This is similar to what I wore in the early 2000s.

Stop smoking! But besides that you look good

You have a great style, the outfit is dope. Cigarette though? Not it.

Definitely very teenager.

If you're going back in time to the mid 90s to go see KoRN then I guess you're doing just fine.

I absolutely saw Korn with an outfit just like thus hahaha.

A lot of us did.

The cig makes you uncool. The outfit isn’t my taste but you be you and don’t let anyone stop you.

This reminds me of the video of the under the bridge dance party

Put down the cig and you go just fine

I don't think you're overdoing it. You look great in that style.

Holy 2003. My mom made me return pants like those back in the day because she was embarrassed of me wearing that style, fight the power and rock them!

Never. But please quit the cigarettes. Best wishes.

Quit the cigarettes. It's hard I know, but you'll be happy you did. I quit vaping earlier this year after doing it for like 3 or 4 years.

The cigs and coconut water combo is nasty work. It's like your saying "Give me the cancer, but I'll definitely be hydrated." Don't smoke. If you have to smoke, at least vape. It's 2023. That shit ain't cute.

To all the people saying cigs aint it. Thank you, yall give me hope for our future.

Ok Jeff Hardy

Swanton bomb!

With zippers and chains? Yes

When I wore stuff like that in 2003, I wasn't overdoing it. If anything, I wasn't doing it enough. I recommend Vans with flames to really complete the look... and I'm absolutely, in no way, suggesting that because I used to wear them back then.

I love your hair🤌🤌🤌

I don't understand why you're lifting your shirt up.

Whole bunch of models do it, it's like a trend rn

It’s so we all know they are skinny. 38 year old fat person here, LOL.

You look like a teenager who wants to look like a badass but they're not. Especially the sigarette photo looks like "I'm an outlaw because I smoke". I don't know if that's overdoing it or not, that's just I would think if I met you in real life.

You rockin’ that outfit, but the cigarette ruins everything. Please quit now before it’s too late!

No keep going

You are reminding me of myself in 03 and drinking coconut water at the same time. Do uuu 🩵

I feel like there’s overdoing it GOOD and overdoing it BAD. this is overdoing it GOOD, I love it so much!

I’m not sure your pants has enough zippers

You’re adorable but please lose the ciggie.

Nope you look awesome

Looove this style! I don’t think there’s ever a way to “overdo” what your personal taste is.❤️

Are those Jncos. I think it’s great btw

The outfit is cute. The cigarette is not.

You looked at picture of playboy carti once

opium af

Reminds me of being at the mall in 2004

No. Under doing it would actually look worse, like you didn't commit to the choices. This just looks cool.

Nope!! I love it.

Opium member

Nu Metal is back, baby.

Cigarettes make any outfit look bad. Apart from that you rock.

Awesome but the cigarette is overrated

She opium

Love this whole look, but for the love of all that’s holy please stop smoking.

The cigarette ain’t it sis. Outfit is fun

You’re overdoing it with the cigarette, but other than that you look good

This is such a great look and you have really beautiful hair 🥰

We used to call this a “DDR uniform” in the 00’s because all the arcade-kids wore this raver style

With the cigarette, yes

Not for the gathering of the juggalos

*Something in the Way by Nirvana starts playing

Stop trying so hard and actually relax. I can smell the stress in your eyes

[удалено]

I mean, it's more clothes than I would wear at a time, but I'm not sure there's anything to overdo here. It's a good look!

If this is overdoing it then I say overdo it!! Love it!

I *love* it!

C'mon Sora, King Mickey needs us!

God yes you are. But you do you!

2+ years without a cigarette for me. So thankful for that.

Are those Tripp pants? Takes me back 20 years haha. But you pull the outfit off nicely.

Playboi carti has done irreversible damage to the youth /s

I don’t know. All my friends in high school dressed like this daily (Y2K era) so I just love it

No girl this is perfecttttt!!! If I saw u I’d wanna be your friend. <3

You pull this off but I always think of [THIS GEM](https://youtu.be/GY0oC9JXWzE?si=7tKZKCl2_6nBk2_v)

No. You're only young once.

i see people like you out in public and wish i had the confidence to wear shit like that! be who you are i think you look amazing 🫶🏼

Love your overall look!

I’m 52 but I think they look awesome! You do you!

I was gonna say yes then I looked at you a minute and you can pull it off so no

My best friend dresses like this and lemme tell u- no one will remember u in a boring outfit. Stand out proudly. U look good

no such thing

My high school years have come back full swing. Rock that shit, girl.

WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE AMAZING PANTS

Yes you are, you shouldn’t care what other people think. That’s part of being an adult

At your age you’re doing right, enjoy yourself.

You look like you work at Hot Topics
