I love Hot Topic, but the clothes there are really hig priced. Can you tell me where I can find punk and goth clothes with good prices?

Make them yourself if you can, or go to the flea market
Flea markets are awesome =)
Be careful though..make sure you get stuff that's worth it..It's really cheap anyway.

Dude. The whole punk fashion originated from people making their own clothes...





I'm in the same boat as you.

Find patches of pink and stitch them together. =)

yeah, I always thought that punk was about being ur self...not following trends. And I mean, no offense to hot topic, I like a lot of their stuff, but its kinda mainstream now. Like here buy this and be cool. I totally suggest going to places like goodwill. Garage sales are the best. Vintage t-shirts are sooo comfy too. Try taking the long sleves off of some shirt that has a hole or u spilled something on, and sweing them inside another shirt. Go here for do it yourself clothing ideas

That chik comes up with tons of fun creative styles and ways to make ur clothes uniques and cool, cheap. I went thru my moms closet and tore apart all her old clothes and pimped myself out. Good luck and have fun.
sammi rules you

That looks so awesome, Kathleen.

Go look in Goodwill and Thrift shops. Also, Hot Topic does have a clearance rack.

Ermm.. when you asked where to buy clothes that looks 'punk' and 'gothic' it kind of made me think.

Clothes are not the biggest part of the label 'punk' or 'goth.' Your attitude, perspective in life, music, and much more is what makes you what you are. Be yourself.

And with the clothes, be creative. Usually, I just cut pieces of shirts and makes a new thing.

use the clothes you have now and mix it up a little, you could search online too

I thought punk was kinda your own style but whatever...
goodwill has some good stuff
buy patches & stuff & make them yourself
hot topic sales
becomingAWARE
uh, goodwill. but dont just try for punk. thats restricting yourself! go for WHATEVER you like. it soiunds like you just are doing what seems "punk". if thats EXACTLY what you so be it. as I said goodwill is great, and as stated many times thrift shops ROCK. good luck and happy shopping!:D
lux421
thanx 4 everything! thrift stores do rock. i won't restrict myself to just one style, I'll just buy what I want. Which I kinda do anyway, but now it feels better somehow.

I find that hot topic is more punk-wannabe then actual punk

That was extremely hilarious. You can't find "punk" clothes. You can find wanna-be punk clothes. You have to find it on your own for it to be "punk." It has to be unique. Heck, you could even make it.
