Darkwear style is very popular on social networks like Tik Tok, Instagram or Pinterest. Indeed, this clothing style is a way of expression for young people who want to show their mysterious identity.

Techwear and darkwear are new clothing trends with a design and dark aesthetic. It's true that these two styles are similar but there are some differences for these two communities!

The major difference is the clothes functionality. Techwear focuses on the practicality and functionality of the clothes. A Techwear jacket for example has multiple pockets, the fabric will be waterproof and breathable. This type of technical clothing is also used by hikers. From a visual point of view, techwear pants are made with straps, numerous zippers.

Darkwear is a sub-genre of techwear without the "technical clothing" part. It means that the materials are black but not technical.

So how to choose between Darkwear and Techwear?

It depends on your taste, your situation, your style, your desires. If you prefer the practical side of a garment, and you love new technologies in everyday life. We recommend a Techwear set. If you want to take nice pictures on your social networks with a dark aesthetic, then choose a Darkwear set.

Here are our tips for getting a Darkwear look.

As we said earlier in this blog post. The first rule for a Darkwear style is to choose dark colored materials.
Your clothes don't have to be full black. The darkwear sweatshirt or T-shirt often has logos or reflective stripes embroidered on the fabrics.

At Karnage Streetwear, for a darkwear outfit we recommend: Slim Black hoodie, Black sunglasses, Multi-pocketed leggings, Transparent Long hooded raincoat, Black anti-smog mask, and black boots

Then, we recommend you to personnalize your darkwear top or pants. In fact, add black patches, wear black jewelry like chockers for women or leather cuff bracelets for men.
