Ways Clothing Became Toxic
Before we begin talking about all the ways clothing became toxic over the years, we have to define toxicity as it applies to this discussion. Something can be toxic by virtue of being unhealthy. It doesn't just apply to chemicals and poisons, although they certainly count. In addition to deficient practices in the textile industries, clothing has become toxic due to uncomfortable fits, potentially hazardous fabrics, and a desire to produce clothes at bottom-of-the-barrel costs. Clothing is toxic to the people who make it, the people who wear it, and the people who live around factories. First, you need to pinpoint the causes; then you have to work on finding safer alternatives with which to stock your wardrobe.

How to Dress Like a Goth (Without Looking Terrible). Top Story - November 2018.
It was only about ten or fifteen years ago that the goth scene was something to be afraid of. Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the gothic subculture consisted of people who stood out from society, wore dark and baggy clothing, and shopped at Hot Topic. Gothic fashion wasn’t nearly as appreciated as it is now. Today, however, gothic outfits have taken a turn and goth styles have been reinvented on the runway and in the streets. “Goth fashion” has become a statement style of dress inspired by the goth look from years past. All it takes is the proper inspiration and statement pieces to dress like a goth without looking terrible, and you can join in on the goth scene and make a statement all your own!

10 Hardest Styles to Pull Off, Ranked
I was a fan of EGL clothing in college. EGL, for those who weren't in the visual kei scene of the early 2000s, stands for Elegant Gothic Lolita, and is one of the many different forms of Lolita fashion. It was a style that was all about looking as doll-like as possible, in that creepy Victorian way that most horror movies use.

How to Shop For Clothing (When You Have Body Dysmorphia)
I don't know what I look like. I literally have a very hard time figuring out what my body looks like. I don't know if I'm fat, thin, athletic, curvy, or twiggy. I'm told I look alright, maybe, but I don't know.

Color. Color. Color
For being one of the the most liberated generations, we sure are encircled in colorless surroundings (grey cars, monochrome neighborhoods, and steel cities). It saddens my soul a bit that people only feel safe expressing themselves in the virtual world but not in the real world out and about on the streets.

Want Some Fashion Tips? Well, Here They Are!
Fashion is part of your everyday lifestyle. You wear clothes going to sleep, going to work, and going out. Fashion doesn't just deal with clothes, however, they deal with appearances like hairstyles, and makeup. Fashion is the distinctive and often constant trend in the style in which people represent themselves with. Fashion is an endless popularity test. People who are rich tend to buy more designers while some buy maybe a couple, but they have a budget (I'm one of them). However, does that really show that you got a taste in clothing? NO, obviously not! Sure you got designers, but can you dress up with them the right way? Anyways, fashion dictates a lot of people even people like musicians, regular citizens, and many more. It also separates what us individuals into and from "groups."

5 Things I Learned from Using Poshmark
For those who don't know what Poshmark is, it is an online marketplace where people can buy AND sell clothes. Many use it as a boutique or as a wholesaler, others use it to sell clothes that they haven't worn in years or clothes they've bought that don't fit.
