Stemming from avant-garde designers such as Rick Owens, Damir Doma, and Yohji Yamamato, gothninja is a much less accessible style than any of the others listed here. There is a lot of argument about what gothninja is, and whether or not it is even a thing, but it is generally agreed that GN features a greyscale color palette, and interesting silhouettes achieved with either loose, drapey clothing, or skin-tight garments. You have most likely never seen a gothninja in real life. Don't try to pull off this look if you aren't a tall, skinny, confident dude from an urban area. If you don't meet this criteria but try your hand at GN anyway, please post a picture in the daily WAYWT threads so we may all laugh at your expense. | Stemming from avant-garde designers such as Rick Owens, Damir Doma, and Yohji Yamamato, gothninja is a much less accessible style than any of the others listed here.

Any information on a certain style goes here. The history of a style is also welcome. Example:
Menswear
Dadcore redirects here. Outfits that take on a more conservative/classical approach. These outfits appear tacky and overly professional when done incorrectly. Fit and fabric type is very important to pulling off this look. A tailored button-down, slim-fitting trousers, a pair of casual oxfords, and a relatively casual tie, for example, can be worn to either a job interview or a night on the town.
Streetwear
Examples of Brands: Supreme, Obey, Stussy
Streetwear is regarded as the most flexible style, it has multiple possibilities and damn near anything can be called streetwear. Streetwear is mostly personal preference and has many forms, a few notable companies are Supreme, Bape, SSUR, and many others. The easiest place to start with streetwear is hypebeast and will give you a good idea at what you're looking at
Gothninja
Examples of Brands: Rick Owens, Carol Christian Poell, Julius, Ann Demeulemeester
Stemming from avant-garde designers such as Rick Owens, Damir Doma, and Yohji Yamamato, gothninja is a much less accessible style than any of the others listed here. There is a lot of argument about what gothninja is, and whether or not it is even a thing, but it is generally agreed that GN features a greyscale color palette, and interesting silhouettes achieved with either loose, drapey clothing, or skin-tight garments. You have most likely never seen a gothninja in real life. Don't try to pull off this look if you aren't a tall, skinny, confident dude from an urban area. If you don't meet this criteria but try your hand at GN anyway, please post a picture in the daily WAYWT threads so we may all laugh at your expense.
Tumblrcore
Examples of Brands: Mr Gugu Miss Go, Streeware brands are also used
Tumblrcore is a strange thing to describe. For the most part there tends to only be female tumblrcore dressers, whereas a men's tumblrcore has yet to be seen. This style incorporates a sort of twee/teen style while attempting as well to give it some sort of unique edge to it. Whether that edge be heavy makeup, overdone/dyed hair, Dr. Martens, and many different accessories usually associated with a separate style. A staple is usually the "Galaxy Leggings" which have seemingly overnight become a trend, thick framed or "hipster" glasses, hair dyed in an unnatural color, semi-gaudy shoes, and even excessive jewelry. When attempting this style it should be known that it is very flexible just like the streetwear style is, so it can be a very easy "beginner style" for those who aren't sure about some of the more radical and money consuming styles such as gothninja.
Urban Techwear
Examples of Brands: Acronym, Y-3, Gyakusou, Isaora, Outlier
Combines clothing with a sort of technical look: Many straps, pockets, zippers etc.
Obviously there are more styles. Add them.
