Lesser Known Aesthetics: how to build a CRYPTIDCORE & PIRATECORE wardrobe

[@PenneyLan]

This is my personal aesthetic ( mixed with a bit of 7 year old boy ) and no one really covers this aesthetic and I’ve been trying to find things that really make me look how I wanna look. I’m going to a new school so I wanna make a good impression, so thanks this helped a ton!

[@Dipidychip]

Can you make a masc one as well?

[@ghostscancrytoo]

ahhh my favorite aesthetics

[@Reiiven]

I’m so happy that you covered these aesthetics, Cryptidcore has been one of my favourites for awhile! And now I love piratecore too :)

[@theromanticego7046]

Hot Topic usually has cryptid themed pins, patches and t-shirts. For Piratecore, you can't go wrong with Spirit Halloween as long as you make sure the clothes are machine washable.

Thanks for the suggestions!! 🥰

These are basically the kind of outfits I feel most comfortable in 😂 but I also like bright colours 😅

[@katem3961]

Loved this! So well researched and explained, as always. Your examples/pictues are brilliant. Thank you 🧙

[@dressrelief]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 🥰

My favorite thing when learning about Pirates, was that a lot of of people who were labeled as "pirates" were just people who didn't fit into social norms and somehow got a boat. So a lot of women, people of color, QUEER PEOPLE, and anyone else who pretty much felt like an outcast would set sail as a group and just live their lives doing what they want.

There's a book I think you'd like if you haven't already read it! The Republic of Pirates, Colin Woodard.

@@Theratsintrenchcoat ooohhhh! I'll have to find that book and give it a look through sometime. Thank you!

Omg I literally love your videos so much!! I was wondering if maybe you could talk about the witchy aesthetic in a video some time? I've been wanting to dress like that but I have no idea where to shop and what to get lol.

[@dressrelief]

I have one already actually! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYipkKGod86DmZI I also have a whimsigoth video if you’re into that (i feel like it has a witchy vibe too!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHLJeoV9gcemY6c

[@person_lol6450]

@@dressrelief Thanks so much, sorry I didn't notice that on your page earlier lol. Also the Whimsigoth actually matches what I'm going for perfectly bc of the more vibrant colour palette. Anyways I'm super excited for your next upload :)))

[@dressrelief]

@@person_lol6450 no worries at all, there’s a lot of videos to go through 😅 whimsigoth is one of my faves too, glad you like it!!

[@maleficent1776]

I've been so excited for this video! Ahhhhhhh i love it!!!

[@dressrelief]

Glad you liked it!

[@yourlocalreptillian1742]

Is there some kind of midevial asthetic that utilizes actual plate armor, like shinguards and gauntlets and chain mail, as well as banner colors?

[@dressrelief]

Its not as popular as other aesthetics but the knight aesthetic/knightcore is definitely a thing! I would try searching those terms on Pinterest :)

[@yourlocalreptillian1742]

@@dressrelief I will!

Cute video! ❤

[@merykim7795]

Is it my laptop and my phone or the sound quality is just that bad. I can't understand what she is saying, and I really want to. Her videos are very interesting :((((((

The reason I’m here is cause I have an obsession with One piece. I just wanna look like an anime pirate but then I saw criptidcore and all my dreams came true 🥲🙏🏻
