I just love clothes with lots of pockets
If we all wear tech wear we will wind up looking like CyberPunk
In short terms: Don't buy techwear just for the branding but rather for the functionality. It's almost like some gamers going for "gaming" products without exploring better options on the market
To me techwear is just the futuristic, street ninja look, so aesthetics only. Quite happy with my Uniqlo parka and black cargp pants and an Axel Arigatp tee.
As someone who’s trying to get into this kind of fashion, this was really eye opening
Ive been wearing this type of "style" even before knowing it was called "techwear" i just love the pockets, straps and the functionality
Title: why you shouldn't buy techwear. Me after spending 400 dollars on it: Heavy breathing
This is definitely one of your most necessary video because if it's techwear or any other fashion choice what's really important is how each item fits with your wardrobe. The techwear genre is largely misunderstood and generally approached in a meme like fashion where if it isn't overly LARPy or cosplay it gets overlooked. Coming from a military/law enforcement background I can say alot of our gear fit what techwear is so our approach has always focused on performance, wear/breathability etc and I just assumed others chose clothing in accordance with what works for them personally. Anyway, that's my two cents, thanks again for a great video!
I just love the aesthetics... I didn’t think it was this deep lmao
Techwear has become such a meme that I kinda shy away from the subculture, I just want to wear functional clothing that also looks aesthetic.
I think the "is this techwear" council likes cyberpunk a lot, where crimes and exotic weathers are happening at any time. And the futuristic waterproof hardshell and goretex shoes can save their lives.
What I get from this is: “Pick your own style and choose quality utilitarian clothing that fits that style. Techwear achieved.”
the term "functional clothing" is way more broad and fitting than "techwear". I get why ERLSN and others dont like to use the term, and I also prefer just looking for specific functionality. And this includes form, material, fit, looks, social messaging, whatnot. And this is all stuff "techwear" can cater to. While most people live in very different situations and use cases, there is no "techwear" style fpr everyone; its way more divers. Also: I much prefer DIYing stuff to buying expensive functional clothing, and with a good bit of practice you can get not as good results as acrnm but you can come very close. With the right materials and some design practice this is a great thing to do!
really coming after r/techwearclothing with this one.
I swear Techwar community is the most gatekeeping fashion community out there.
I definitely love techwear and I gave it a lot of thought before I decided to get into it.. but I’m getting into it slowly and patiently. Making sure that the pieces I love also adapt to my own style and how it can go with my own wardrobe. I want techwear to work for me and not the way around because it’s so easy to fall into a cheesy trendy looking outfit. It’s important to not loose your self in the style but to rock it but with your own flavor and personality. That’s where I feel creative and innovative techwear is born. Just my opinion thanks!
When I'm searching for pieces, I just use the term, tactical, waterproof or military. That's just me. Also, keep up the good work Antenna👍🏼
3:41 my mans skipping leg day smh
Huh - never knew there was a word for it... thank you. Practical clothing with good material, comfort, loads of pockets, and a dark plain colour with no branding is my favourite type of clothing.
