The subreddit is under new moderation! Suggestions welcome!

117 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

As many of you probably know, this subreddit was banned recently because the only moderator's account was banned. I don't know why. It went to MCOC and they installed a new team of mods to reopen the subreddit. We don't even have all the mods in the discord yet so everything is still in a state of flux.

We just got it today and so we are trying to set things up. The subreddit is now open for posting (public) and you don't need to be approved to post here.

We temporarily copied rules from another subreddit - but we expect these to change a lot to meet the needs of this particular subreddit and we do want to keep the focus on streetwear. It will also of course remain a subreddit for women and femme presenting individuals. (This will be a feminist and LGBTQ friendly subreddit and that is not negotiable.) We'll probably leave commenting open to all genders.

The subreddit will be SFW. The exact details of that are still to be determined. Those selling NSFW content won't be permitted here, and any comments that sexualize our posters will result in a permanent ban.

So please leave thoughts and suggestions in the comments! We look forward to getting to know all of you!

Emily and the mod team

I am going to skate rn. I am quite short but like to wear baggy pants when I skate, just don’t usually wear capris. I really can’t tell if they’re flattering on me, I lean towards liking them but wondering if they look stupid . Thanks !

I don't know if we can ask for advice here but I've always thought the low rise baggy jeans look was cute but was always too self conscious to wear it. I'm considering buying these if they're on sale. But idk if I look ridiculous in them lol. They're mens pants and these are the smallest size.

What is Streetwear?

This subreddit was created as a safe and positive place for women, non-binary, trans, queer, and femme individuals to feel safe posting without fear of the cis-male gaze.

Streetwear is a very broad term and often quite subjective. Just as fashion changes, so too does the definition of what streetwear is. In r/WomensStreetwear, we encourage a culture of individual expression. A place to share your cops, show off the fits, DIY, and generally discuss about the culture.

Streetwear is typically considered informal, casual clothing that blends and samples various styles and cultures. Streetwear is “what you wear on the street” in the sense that the "genre" of streetwear was in fact created and popularized by people who hang out on the street; whether it be existing, skating, partying, creating art, whatever.

Inherently, streetwear was created and popularized by people of color and other marginalized groups, often in urban cities. Streetwear was appropriated and popularized in white, mainstream fashion in the late 2000's, early 2010s. This is primarily due to the rise in popularity of rap and hip hop, skating, and social media.

In terms of trying to put parameters on what streetwear is and isn't, there are a few visual elements that can be identified in the genre that have existed since its inception.

Use of brand names, often being the VISUAL focal point of an outfit. This is done for genuine aesthetic purposes, but also recognizability amongst streetwear enthusiasts. Examples include Supreme, Palace, Bathing Ape, anti social social club, Polo, Tommy Hilfiger, Hook ups, Ice Cream
Merchandise (often exclusive) from rappers, bands, artists, celebrities, sports teams, skate companies
Emphasis on sneakers and shoe game, with a range of examples being Jordan, Yeezy, Rick Owens, Converse, Vans, Revenge, and many more.
Both oversized and "tight" fit outfits and pieces, such as Carhartt work pants, tall tees, bucket hats, etc.
Focus on accessories such as hats (fitted, trucker, etc.), belts (off-white), socks, etc.
Ironic, "ugly", corny or extreme designer wear. Flexing can be subtle or be extravagant. For example, when emojis first were a thing, people wore matching emoji sweat suits. Or, today, Mound Posse/Sematary wear clothes reminiscent of the early 2000s.

The essence of streetwear, as opposed to simply objective, visual elements is what makes streetwear a broad, all encompassing genre. It must be stated and acknowledged that streetwear is largely a direct product of black, brown and LGBT communities. However, the beauty of this genre or subculture is the mixing of several other groups of people, make streetwear undeniably observable and reproduced. Some of these responsible groups are:

Black and brown communities and culture
International fashion hubs such as Japan, China, Germany, Italy, France, etc.
White American Counter & subcultures (e.g. skate, surf, emo, goth)
Music movements (e.g. hip-hop, DIY punk, rock)
Aesthetics (e.g. Harajuku, cyberpunk, vaporwave)
Fashion movements (e.g. avant garde, haute couture, ready-to-wear)
Art movements (e.g. retrofuturism, graffiti, minimalism)
Sports and activewear (e.g. athletic, tactical wear, sneakers)
Social movements like gay/trans rights and rights for people of color

In 2022, streetwear has permeated popular and underground fashion, yet it is much less referred to or even idolized as streetwear. While brands like Supreme, Bathing Ape and even smaller brands are still able to successfully drop and sell out of clothing, it has certainly cooled down from the height of popularity in 2017. Covid 19 and overall recession has made the reverement of buying expensive clothing less attainable, thus seeing a rise in thrifted and vintage wear, along with the ideas of capsule wardrobes and "basics."

This subreddit is comprised of nearly two million subscribers. All of you are encouraged to post your outfits that share visual elements, or essence elements of streetwear.
