#clothes recommendations

For the unaware: ROSEN is a brand that does a lot of technical/goth inspired clothes. Their size range is relatively decent, but they also do custom sizing for slightly more money! Would love to own some someday, but haven't been able to choose one piece to save up for because I love them all. I believe they might be on here as well: @xeoniq are you involved with the brand? Love a lot of the photoshoots and highly recommend the tagged account's blog for further reading.

I'm going to split this into brands I can personally recommend and brands I can't; keep in mind I'm unusually short/small (5ft) so most clothes don't fit me unfortunately.

Brands I can personally recommend:

The disclaimer here is that I often dress like an extra in a cyberpunk dystopia movie on purpose. Your mileage may vary aesthetic wise here for each brand, but these are ones I like!

My goto recommendation for anything techwear is Resurgence. It's a one man brand but all the pieces I have are exceptional! I own a pair of pants from the brand that are part of my weekly rotation because they're awesome.

Tripp NYC, the age old favorite. Also have a pair of pants from here and love them.

I know they're expensive, but Junya Watanabe x Comme des Garcons has some very fun techwear inspired pieces. I thrifted a jacket in Japan that's now my favorite rain jacket.

Engineered Garments! Their collab with Uniqlo a few seasons ago is my winter coat, I got through a lot of winters in the Midwest with it and I love it a lot.

I'm throwing Moncler on here because I can. Yes they're expensive, I don't own any, but they had really fun spiky sneakers I tried on in person. Would be a thrift goal for me if I ever wore sneakers, which I don't really.

Machine56! To be honest they don't really use natural materials (and their clothes don't fit me anyways), but I've tried on a lot of their stuff and really like the look. Someone gift me a helmet from them please.

Brands that look cool:

The caveat here is that I follow a lot of brands for inspiration that I've never seen in person and can't buy from because they wouldn't fit. This is not a problem most people have so your luck may vary!

Nunchuck Nabee for pants and jackets! I have yet to buy from them, but that's mostly because my current hunts are a little more specific. The main deal here is they'll manufacture clothes in a really wide range of sizes, which is super cool when you fit a size zero people want to stock.

Notinlist does some fabulous coats - again too big for me, but they'd maybe be up your alley!

Enfin leve also fits the same vibe, I've loved their stuff for ages but I don't fit it so can't recommend it personally. Can be expensive!

Vollebak might all be marketing hype, but I'm a sucker for clothes that take risks and have a very targeted concept. Bonus points for the space theme.

I have no idea if XIPHEVIL is legit, but man I really want them to be. If they made clothes in my size I would own a million pieces.

I feel like I can't make this list without mentioning Rick Owens. Once again don't have the budget and the clothes don't fit me anyways, but man I wish I did fit any of his clothes.

I'm missing a million brands here for sure, if I can think of any more I'll add them later! Please add on additions if you also dress this way and don't see a brand you love here, I desperately need new clothes.
