How to Thrift for an Alt/Goth/Punk Wardrobe (+ lookbook)

[@thymicthymic]

even though you're a somewhat small youtuber, your videos are huge for the alt fashion community. please never stop!

[@RattusRattus]

This means so much to me🥺 thank you !!!! I really appreciate that ! And I’ll try to keep it up ✨💖💪

[@thymicthymic]

@@RattusRattus yesss! i'm glad to hear it 😁💖

[@w0rmg0rl]

to everyone with the gramma thrift shops: try going in and looking at everything without considering the colours. dying something can really change the vibes! edit: lol rabbit says the same thing later on in the video

[@UrMom-so8hc]

also: GO TO THE SEWING SECTION!! i found multiple big bags FULL of zippers, ive found lace, eyelets, patches, soooo much good stuff!!

[@morbidhime]

im late but these places also have really good slips and camisoles in the lingerie section!

[@stannosaurus]

You can also find a lot more vintage 😊 gramma thrift shops are great!

[@nitka5405]

My grandma befriended a thrift shop owner that saves unworn clothes with tags for her to buy which she then gifts to me whenever I visit which feels like the biggest flex and blessing out there

[@RattusRattus]

Love that!!!! Grandmas are thrift gods I swear

[@annablue2799]

I love that the trift stores I go to have no man or woman sections. They are just sorted by jackets,shirts,pants,etc. When you shop online you can also just write "black lather jacket" in the serch section insted of "black lather jacket woman".

[@RattusRattus]

That is awesome! My fav thrift stores are the ones that sort things by color 🥰 Hell yeah! Totally true ! Don’t let gender hold you back! ❤️🥰

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

I shop the same way online--never gender specific. I've found stuff for men that I liked better than the women's version. I'm built straight up and down (not curvy), so some men's pants fit me better. And I'm almost 6 feet tall. (Jan Griffiths).

[@wakerevive4233]

If your area has the "old lady" thrift stores (like me), asking family or friends for their hand me downs has definitely helped over the years. Everyone in the house always asks me if I want something before they throw it out. Also if you have things in your own closet that you no longer want, see what can be reused. For example I threw away some old boots from high school but ripped off the straps and buckles for future diys.

[@RattusRattus]

YESSS! U get it 🥰

[@BeepBoopBop73]

It’s just me and my mom tho lol

[@wakerevive4233]

​@BeepBoopBop73 oh 😆 well you can still repurpose clothes as fabrics for other projects or dye them black?

[@BeepBoopBop73]

@@wakerevive4233 yeah my mom would probably get mad but that’s okay sometimes I get hand me downs from her but I haven’t in like a year lol

[@andromeda1515]

If thrift store politics is something you take into consideration when choosing stores to shop at, to add to Salvation Army being ehhh, goodwill is a no go too. They're really bad to their employees and treat disabled employees particularly unfairly. I used to work at one and I didn't realize how bad it was till I had to deal with the company itself on a daily basis. Local one off thrift stores are usually the way to go. However accessibility is important too so all you have near you is a goodwill or salvation army, thats totally okay too and you gotta do what you gotta do❤

[@RattusRattus]

Oh geez !!! I didn’t know that :( thank you for speaking up ! That really sucks to hear 💔 ! I agree - local one offs are the best in my experience ! I hope people can find ethical thrift stores in their areas ❤️

[@olioccasionallyanimates27]

i just commented about goodwill thank you for also saying this

[@KaylaKasel]

I would never encourage theft, b/c that's illegal, but if things happened to go missing from Goodwill or Salvation Army without being payed for... Oh well. I wouldn't be upset about it.

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

Yard and estate sales can also be a way to thrift. My community has a community-wide sale 3 times a year which I go to, as well as the thrift stores. I know the crappy way Goodwill and the SA treat their employees, so I don't go there too often. I've found better stuff in privately owned thrift stores, and also from friends who want to get rid of stuff. (Jan Griffiths).

[@Becky1680]

I only discovered you recently and though I'm in my early 40s and a charity shopper/DIYer of many years I've gotten so much inspiration from you for things I'd never have thought of before! You're my new favourite channel, I've had you on in the background almost constantly whilst working on my own projects for the past few weeks

[@kristyreal]

Next time you're at a thrift store, look for a propane burner or hot plate so you can do your synthetic fabric dying outside. 😀 I really like your tips. I do textile art so I will just go to the clothing section and look for colors, textures, patterns that catch my eye. It doesn't matter what section it comes from or what type of clothing it is, I'm just looking for unusual fabrics to add to my stash. Thrift stores are the best.

[@RattusRattus]

Oooh I’ll have to check into that! That’s a great idea 🥰❤️ Awesome!!! I hope you find some fun stuff! I remember kids section was my FAV for finding fun fabric (why do kids clothes get all the iridescent sparkles and scales and faux fur and leopard print!!! It’s not fair. I want it in my size 😠) but hell yeah I hope you find cool fabric next time u go 🥳🥳🥳

[@jrj5893]

That is propane burner/hot plate idea is GENIUS thank you so much for mentioning it!

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

If you have a fire pit, you can make a stand for a kettle for dyeing clothes too. That's what I did, and it works like a charm. I also have an old wringer washer (came with the house) that I use outside for dyeing clothes as well. Keeps my regular machine clean of the dye. And I dry my dyed items outside---my clothesline is in shade all the time. (Jan Griffiths).@@jrj5893

[@gurgleblurgle7345]

On checking various sections: I once found a totoro hat in the kids section. I am child free and nowhere near a child's size, in fact kids kind of ick me out, but I was so glad I checked that day. Men's boxers can be great for plaids. Watching this vid makes me wanna share all my amazing finds over the years.

[@sunshinechickens8826]

its impossible to find a KZbinr with amazing hair, cool style, has amazing advise and collects dolls until now ✨

[@foxboyuwu]

personally ive found a lot of clothes that match with a goth aesthetic at target, so you can find stuff anywhere if you know what youre looking for

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

Yeah, I was surprised at the amount of stuff that could be used at Target---Walmart too, but not as much. Even if something is the wrong color, you can buy dye there as well. I buy 2 types of fabric dye---one for natural fabrics, and one for synthetics. (Jan Griffiths).

[@green.velvetdreams]

I love love love thrifting and I am also the kind of person who will get lost in a thrift store and spend hours searching through everything! (Sounds like we would be good thrifting pals!) I have found some unbelievable things at thrift stores over the years. My favourite sections are skirts, trench coats (but also jackets in general), the candle/candle holder section, picture frames (I love ornate pewter or brass frames or wooden ones that I can sculpt over!), and the jewelry/belts/scarves. I have become somewhat of a collector of clothes! One of my best finds was a Lip Service top (pinstripe, cap sleeve, with a bunch of buckles and a real lock at the throat) for $7.99! Bless the goth angel in my small city who donated it 🙏

That was a treat from start to finish - thank you so much. My local charity shop is pretty good, and a bit odd too. Last time I went in they had a large plush dachshund, completely covered in multi-coloured sequins. Come to think of it, it might have been a basset hound ... anyway, I'm still kicking myself for not tucking it under my arm and taking it home but funds did not permit, alas. 😕

I wish the neck trick worked. I have a 13 inch neck but I’m very pear shaped so my neck doubled is almost 10 inches smaller than my actual waist. Bummer! I love all your tips and even though I’m an alt person who has been thrifting for many years, it’s still fun to watch. I love all of your videos!

[@fennwenn3317]

I love hearing about what other people like to look for when they thrift. I'm more of a Mori Kei boygirl, and LOVE those grandma thrift stores, but the punk and goth community always have such good DIY and thrifting advice.

[@melodyjogibson6791]

I liked the idea of dyed grandma housecoats. Information packed video. Thank you.

[@gurgleblurgle7345]

I live in a smallish town, so the advantage is that thrift stores are still cheap here. I thrift nearly all my clothes and my trick is just to pop in every week or two to see what's there. Checking regularly has led me to some excellent finds. Also, shop when it's raining. Fewer people will be out, which is nice by itself, but of course you also have better chances of finding good stuff. I also just use this as a cheap source of entertainment cuz man you just never know what's going to show up. I overheard a volunteer this week saying every time she came in she found something she couldn't identify 😆. And one of my favorite DIYs is just replacing the straps on a tank with some grommet tape ordered online. And for tying off your thread, if you then run the thread through some stitched or the middle of a seam, you can hide the tail while also securing it from unknotting in the wash.

[@ej9549]

Hey thanks you’ve really inspired me to customize a jacket with all my favorite things!

[@tinyaxes]

You are so wonderful for taking the time to compile your knowledge! I am making Kandi and taking notes. Also some dressing rooms even at thrift stores have a try-on limit of 5 or 6 so if you wait till the end then it might be an issue if a worker stopped you to enforce it!

[@slytherinsanka5157]

We have a monthly thrift market in our area and I picked up the most gorgeous black velvet little jacket thing last weekend 😱 but I have found they mark up the prices (my friend saw a jacket that was insanely priced and found the same thing for like half the price at a different stall…) love this video so much I always love your look books 🖤

[@lexwhy554]

i cut out like 12 stencils while watching this video, lovely content as always

[@RattusRattus]

Omg hell yes!!!! I love that

[@hannahshark8080]

A few small additions as I was listening: Iron on fabric tape is your friend but learning some quick sewing/mending skills are easy and save you from having to throw something away. Yes to the cutting up a shirt (that doesn't fit) for the design and transferring. Yes to if an item is now yours, it is YOUR gender item now. If you enjoy crafting, very low cost items can often be more affordable than buying those supplies new such as trim, zips, buttons etc. Yes to old school uniforms but try to grab ones that aren't in your immediate area because some parents can only afford secondhand uniforms for their kids. This one can be tricky. With lace-y items, do try it on or put your bare arm inside the sleeve first to check for itch, it might be unbearable to actually wear and end up being a waste of your money. If you have mobility issues and want to craft, call up a friend to help you, make it into a fun evening for both/all of you! I love crafting with friends and they might think of something you didn't or vice versa to make a super cool, fun item! For homewares, would a spritz of black spray paint make it perfect? Do it! It'll be great, especially picture frames!

[@windsyDschultz]

The vintage nightgown idea is pure genius. Never thought about dying them before. Ty for this ! 🖤🖤

i'm just 15 minutes in, but seeing the length again, i know there will be so many nuggets of inspiration and creativity :) i so appreciate the effort & time & care you put into your videos (and the fact that you add lookbooks so often!) also, from someone within the disabled community: appreciate that you're still putting on a mask. most people are ignoring that now~ 💜

[@speedwaymethadrine]

i've found literally everything i've bought second hand (like home decor, furniture, clothes n accessories) and it brings me so much joy! sadly all the thrift stores are full of shein these days so i no longer find clothes in person which makes finding clothes a little harder since i'm pretty small (most clothes fit weird/dont fit at all + i dont have a sewing machine so i cant really tailor them at home). online thrifting is fun too, most of my clothes are from those! here online thrifts are super hard to navigate, we literally just have three sections - women, men, kids. you can't actually search up words which is super dumb.. i still love thrifting and i've found many cool pieces, really old stuff from dead threads, lip service and queen of darkness :) just last week i found a cool long pvc jacket online but it was sold by the time i sent the message >:( been looking for one for soooo long!

[@speedwaymethadrine]

also! i *really* wish thrift shops would be more accessible. it wouldn't be that hard to put a couple of benches in the larger stores - i'm disabled and need to sit a lot. i hate sitting on the ground (since it's really dirty) but i've got no option lol

[@speedwaymethadrine]

aaand gotta flex with my latest in person thrift find! i found a 100% complete freak du chic honey swamps for 2€. i went a little crazy when i saw her, i'm not a huge collector but i love how she looks - her makeup is very smudged but i paint miniatures all the time so no prob for me :D

[@incertaesedis2282]

i found your channel just the other day. it was striking to me that so many of your mannerisms resemble my own and we share similar interests. it was almost freaky, in that somehow i felt i knew you, or someone very similar to you. familiar. you mentioned squamish and it clicked-- geographic closeness making for regional dialectical similarities, the impact of similar environments, the like. either way, you seem to be a very interesting and pleasant person, and i love the passion you have in your interests. stay cool and creative! many kudos to your art.

[@tulipsalinger1410]

you are so right the men's section can be a very rewarding place to find some cool stuff! I went thrifting on Friday and I shopped only the men's section first this time as I really wanted some black baggy-ish men's style pants and I found 3 really cool silk ties to use as belts and as ties and a huge really nice flannel and best of all I found a black pin stripped 2 piece suit in a teen lad's size that fits me all slouchy (but not too big so the pants stay up) the way I wanted. I did a quick walk through the woman's section but it was packed full of women shopping so it was hard to get good rummage going and after finding such treasures in the men's section I was okay with not trying to shop whilst it was so crowded in the woman's!

Tysm for this video Rabbit!! I've been thrifting since I was young but didn't really 'figure it out' until recently, I'd say post 2020. When I was younger I was always frustrated that I couldn't just walk in and find exactly the alternative styles I wanted, esp living in a more rural area. Recently, thanks to youtube videos and getting down the fashion rabbit hole I really feel like I've hit my stride. The one piece missing is DIY and I really am honestly encouraged by this video! The tiny sewing tutorial was very helpful! I get very easily overwhelmed w technical terms and lingo so the simple and very visual explanation was great for me personally. Your videos are always a great inspiration, ty for making them💜

I got my most favorite oversized 80s era black cardigan in the men’s section just walking by and it literally jumped off the rack at me. I don’t think it was a men’s sweater but stuff gets mislabeled/misplaced. It’s my best thrift store wardrobe staple ever.

I love to create jewelry and clothing from thrifted items. Anyway, love your channel!!

Very, very informative video and a lot of useful tips. I don't thrift often, because it tires me very quickly (especially if shops don't have sections of certain colours), but I do love going to thrift shops for my costumes for halloween or cosplay parties, then I somehow find huge motivation to search for needed parts. I hope that I will finally learn how to sew with a machine and make some beautiful things in the future, cause it was my dream for a long time. Watching your channel definitely helps with motivation to do something creative.

[@nekolina4862]

Not thrift shop specific but in case anyone wandering by hasn't considered it yet: Just after Christmas, when things go on sale Tree skirts. If you can fit in kids clothing, it's worth a try to see of you can wrap one of those around you. I found one that's a white faux fur with paw prints shaved into the fur. It ties and fits me as a long stiff capelette and a skirt too. You could probably modify these to fit a bit better too but in this case it fit me as is. Circle skirts are easy enough to make but if you spot a tree skirt with a pattern you're drawn to, try it out. Then you and your tree can share.

[@jrj5893]

10:30 While this may work for some people, there's an alternative way to find out if a pair of pants fit. Take the pants and lay the waistband over where your bellybutton is. If the ends of the waistband touch each other or overlap near your spine, then it might fit! Again, this wont work for everyone, but if the neck trick hasn't worked for you then they this one.

I don't bother with consignment shops much BUT I did get a nice pair of express jeans from Platos closet and I did punk them up easy and they lasted a long time and were very comfy for like $10 so worth it for base pieces like that sometimes

This is a really great video! One thing I do want to mention for anyone reading about the bandana comment at 1:20:20 is uh... at least some of the people doing this are flagging, and this may not be what you're looking to do (and absolutely shouldn't be if you're underage)

[@choonleiniyo]

I LOVE YOUR MONSTER HIGH DOLLS!!! Very helpful video! ^^

[@zzzeeerrrooo]

another tip for seeing if pants will fit you - if you put one edge of the waistband by your belly button and wrap it around your side, if the other edge reaches where your spine is they should fit (hope i explained that in a way that makes sense)

[@choonleiniyo]

I love dragons how have i never thought of starting a dragon collection!!!!! :0

I found more or less that exact shiny green snake print pencil skirt at 19:13 in the thrift store literally 2 days ago and now it's in my closet

[@RattusRattus]

Hell yeah!!!! It was so pretty - if I wasn’t already inundated with skirts I would have grabbed it too !❤️ congrats on the find 🥳

Theres this cool store in my area called Angel View and they have a lot of nice button downs and colorful clothes and stuff, plus they donate all their proceeds towards helping out adults and kids with special needs

[@RattusRattus]

That sounds awesome!The best thrift stores are definitely the small ones where all the proceeds go to a good cause ❤️
