Clothing Style - Alternative Look

Punk Baby Clothes

June 6th 2008 15:31

Ok, so I was the typical child who wore shirts with animals, stripes, dots, and usually pastel colors. That's typically what people dress their young children in, but ever since I met my boyfriend, we've had some pretty interesting discussions about dressing children. He says his kids will wear black clothes with little skulls on them. I personally, can't image that, but I also can't imagine dressing my baby up in something fru-fru.

So, I did a quick search and found that it's actually pretty popular to purchase alternative baby clothes for your children.

Now, it's probably not the outfits that the typical person would choose, but amongst the right crowd, this style is actually pretty popular.

You can find prison-garb onesies, rockstar clothes, skulls, grenades, camo, bands and band logos, and tons of other styles and images that would fit the goth or alternative lifestyle. I mean you can find hip hop styles, urban, skater, retro, and goth. It's all aternative in my book.

What do you guys think about some of these styles? Would you dress your infant, toddler, or young child in these clothes?

What's Up With That Kilt?

Leather Kilt

Ok, so this isn't all that alternative, but it's not too common, either. Kilts are traditionally worn by Scottish and Celtic (more specifically Gaelic) cultures, typically just the men. They exist in various modern forms, which have been designed towards to historical garment, whether that be a Scottish, Gaelic, Northumbrian, Irish, Welsh, Cornish, or the Contemporary kilt.

The kilt (which is the singular and plural form of the word, according to tradtitionalists) has various designs that are associated with different situations and organizations; IE there is a hunting kilt, Union kilt, bagpiping kilt, Highland dancing kilt, wedding, rugby matches, etc. The contemporary kilt can be formal or casual dress, athletic, hunting, white or blue collar work, or outdoor recreational.

Depending on the occasion, the kilt is typically worn with various accessories such as a belt, jacket, sporran (purse), sgian dubh (small shethed knife worn in the top of the sock), Ghillie Brogues, Kilt pin, and the Kilt sock.

Most kilts are generally made of twill or worsted wool, and can be solid colored or patterned depending on the style that the kilt has been designed after. The Scottish kilt is typically cross-patterned, or plade, while the Irish kilt is typically solid. Now, the contemporary kilt is seen in cotton, demin, leather, and cordoroy.
