Rachel Maksy's dark academia video: • 20 Dark Academia Outfi...
THRIFT SHOOOOOP! Over the past couple years I've been seriously cutting down my wardrobe so I haven't been back to the thrift stores very often. Oh how I have missed my Japanese thrift stores! But I recently found out about the Dark Academia ~aesthetic~ and I NEEDED to see if I could find some looks! Plus, it's so damn hot here in Japan and turns out most of my wardrobe is plastic (polyester, etc) which is like the worst thing you can wear since it's not breathable?? You learn something new every day. We managed to find quite a few things in my style made of breathable, cotton and linen fibers!

IT'S MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WOOOOOOOORLD JAPANESE THRIFT STORES!! I was so excited to go back to the thrift store to try to scrounge up some new things (both in style and fabrics!) I'm very happy with how things ended up, though the applicability of "dark academia" to it all may be somewhat questionable. Rachel Maksy's Dark Academia video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ62qWCkpZaofZY

Rachel you've been wearing that high wasted pair of jeans since 2014, it was very much time to change them for something else.

[@Wolfswind003]

I love how thrift stores in Japan are so nice and clean. They actually look like normal stores and there are entire second hand chains (like second street, house off, book off ect.) they have good lighting making the stores look fancy too. In Germany there are thrift stores that either sell super expensive brand products or stores that make you feel like a charity case because they advertise towards people with lower incomes. When you go there it feels like you are stealing from those in need. German thrift stores really could learn from Japanese ones

[@ateisate7270]

Went to a newer thrift store today in Germany, the focus wasn't on clothes though. The lighting made all the difference though and I actually felt like I could find something there and wasn't stealing from charity. Also, it didn't smell of mothballs, that also helped. I found a wooden rolling pin and a dress i liked, but I was like: I got enough dresses I never wear, so I didn't buy it. But yeah, the only other second hand/thrift store in Germany I liked was mad expensive brands. All the others are like mothball smell, bad lighting and "don't-shop-here-you-got-enough-money". I do wonder where all my "I bought that new, but wore like once because it's not actually and then donated" clothing went. I try not to do that anymore.

[@Wolfswind003]

@@ateisate7270 Unfortunately I fear some might actually end up in Africa. Africa is drowing in European clothes. (Germany also exports an overproduction of chicken to African countries, destrying the local markets...) It really would be great to have a better system and second hand stores with good lighting, washed and sorted clothes and nice chaning rooms.

[@Melon_Cloud]

Though I have to admit, I kind of wear a sort of low rise jeans. Since I am in a wheelchair, normal jeans get so uncomfortable. So it sounds ridiculous, but I wear maternity jeans now. They are kinda low, but have the fabric for the pregnancy belly. I don’t have a pregnancy belly, but being in a wheelchair, maternity jeans are so much more comfortable!

Another channel you might like is Bernadette Banner, her style is more of the 1890s 1910 Edwardian style but her videos are so soothing and it's fascinating watching her create these Victorian/Edwardian clothes from scratch using sewing techniques they would've used in those times.

I was just looking yesterday to see if there was a new video (yes, I'm subscribed. No, notifications are not turned on) but sadly no. Today, what do I find? Rachel Academia! And, talking about some of my other favorite KZbinrs! Can life get better? Bernadette Banner's video titled "Buying a Knockoff of My Own Dress: An Educated Roast" was a game changer for me. Trying to keep it all natural fabrics now, too. I've now got 10 yards of linen sitting in its shipping box...and I don't sew. (I have a skirt, with pockets, that's pretty ratty but I'm determined to keep it out of the landfill as long as possible by add a lining so I can "safely" wear it out in public without a VERY long top.) Maksy's "whiskey grandpa" vibe and all her videos bring me joy and my mind filled with possibilities. This video: 11 out of 10.

Also same! I switched to almost 100% thrifted, natural fibre clothing - excluding activewear bottoms. I can't even put on a polyester/acrylic sweater anymore. Rayon dresses, NEVER. Glad it's on your radar.
