It may help you with your choices. I think there is a post in there about goths of color. The writer is from England, so it is not specific to African Americans. I think there is more participation in the subculture there than here.</p> <p><a href="http://ultimategothguide.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://ultimategothguide.blogspot.com</a></p> <p></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-alternative-fashion-do-you-like-best-on-african-americans#post-1642702 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 17:03:55 +0000 shedev 1642702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any of them that you want to wear.

I lean into the Afro-steampunk-gothic-warrior-dandy look myself. I wear a hairstyle hightop-flattop-Mohawk style. I have learned how to craft my look for work. ,I'm sort of a mashup. I love that my journey is not limited to one experience. Do I have to train the people around me? Yes, but, I think they are used to me now. Lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-alternative-fashion-do-you-like-best-on-african-americans#post-1634374 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 02:59:11 +0000 deb 1634374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I honestly think all nationalities can wear all styles. It is the way a person carries the look off is what males the difference to me. Do you think there are better looks than others? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-alternative-fashion-do-you-like-best-on-african-americans#post-1634369 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 02:48:13 +0000 rachylou 1634369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goth is my least favorite because often it just means black lipstick and photoshoots with fake blood, if you know what I mean. But done to the nines, it's fab. I love all the rest, whichever captures your fancy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-alternative-fashion-do-you-like-best-on-african-americans#post-1634359 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 02:13:13 +0000 Greenjeans 1634359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know but I saw a gorgeous woman this weekend wearing the most amazing skirt. &nbsp;It was knee-length, full/pleated (50s-esque) and made out of what looked like a cotton fabric from Africa (bold pattern, orange and black). &nbsp;She paired it with a denim button-down and knee high boots and came off wholly original, modern, sexy, confident and modest all at the same time.</p> <p>(Imagine this skirt but made with kente cloth . . . )</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/womens-skirts/below-knee-skirts/wg649/womens-maggie-ottoman-mini-skirt">http://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/.....mini-skirt</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-alternative-fashion-do-you-like-best-on-african-americans#post-1634334 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 00:45:23 +0000 DonnaF 1634334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those who identify as African American span a wide variety of appearance:&nbsp; Skin color, build, hair texture, and other stuff too numerous to name.&nbsp; Same variety as those who do not identify as AA, so I don't think one can generalize.&nbsp; Nothing wrong (other than expense!) with experimenting with your style to figure what feels most like *you* (other than making modifications to suit workplace demands/expectations).&nbsp; For an African American woman, I'm thinking that hair (processed/natural/weave etc.) can have a bigger impact on style than say, a Euro American woman's hair.&nbsp; And hair can harmonize with the rest of the look or be a juxtaposition!</p> <p>Have fun on your journey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-alternative-fashion-do-you-like-best-on-african-americans#post-1634321 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 00:26:24 +0000 Amaranthine 1634321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope, I am African-American but the pictures are of two different people; an African-American&nbsp;goth YouTuber,&nbsp;and an African-American Lolita from Tumblr.&nbsp;I'm just asking in general; my style is more ecclectic anyways, I'm changing my mind every day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-alternative-fashion-do-you-like-best-on-african-americans#post-1634319 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 00:22:37 +0000 Liz 1634319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SarahLeiman, is this a personal question for yourself -- are you the person in the pictures? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-alternative-fashion-do-you-like-best-on-african-americans#post-1634315 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 00:16:45 +0000 Amaranthine 1634315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>. </p>
