I just love clothes with lots of pockets

[wimar]

nah, i just wanna look like a modern assassin creed characters

[certifieddarkboi]

If we all wear tech wear we will wind up looking like CyberPunk

[Roguelikes_gg]

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

Title: why you shouldn't buy techwear.

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

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 swear Techwar community is the most gatekeeping fashion community out there.

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.

I just love the aesthetics... I didn’t think it was this deep lmao

[emma-]

Ive been wearing this type of "style" even before knowing it was called "techwear" i just love the pockets, straps and the functionality

really coming after r/techwearclothing with this one.

[Jackson-nrmw]

Living in Canada, means most of your closet is technically techwear by default, im jealous of you poeple who can choose to buy jackets that aren't waterproof

[Llainful]

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!

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!

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👍🏼

What I get from this is: “Pick your own style and choose quality utilitarian clothing that fits that style. Techwear achieved.”

[YoKhai]

I exploded into laughter when you said “techwear exodia”
