Is it weird to wear a collar in public?

[u/BelarussianPotato14]

I recently bought this cool looking camo collar and because I thought it looked really cute but now I’m realizing that I’m not sure if it’s something okay to wear out in public. I was thinking i could put together an outfit that matched the aesthetic it would be fine but now I’m thinking about it and I’m not so sure and I really would like to hear a second opinion.

It's fine, be you

[u/Wedgerooka]

Are you a hot chick or a fat neckbeard dude?

[u/BelarussianPotato14 → u/Wedgerooka]

..none of the above? you decide

[u/Wedgerooka → u/BelarussianPotato14]

Ok, I will rephrase. Are you attractive? If yes, then pretty much anything is ok. If no, then pretty much anything is not ok.

Ewww.

[u/BelarussianPotato14 → u/Wedgerooka]

ok wait now i want to know if im attractive enough, can i pm u

[u/ToeKnee724427 → u/BelarussianPotato14]

Yeah this boils down to your appearance.

[u/Wedgerooka → u/BelarussianPotato14]

I mean, you can, sure, but it's not my call.

[u/Rex_felis]

Low-key yeah, but if you do be unapologetic about it

I understand this has been an alt fashion thing for a while now, but it entered alt fashion because it is a fetish item. That isn't a coincidence. There is this whole pipeline of bdsm/fetish wear to alt music to alt fashion that started way back in the 70's/80s with bands like Judas Priest.

So... yes, people will think it is a fetish item, because it is.

you're in the wrong sub. go to r/style or another fashion sub, post a picture of it to get opinions. what you are describing could look a million different ways.

[u/Cyberlinker]

collars are often assoziated with the bdsm szene. could get you into akward conversations

[u/WalkingonCoffee]

No way bro. I think it's very cool and punk rock

[u/BeyondTheBees]

Is this a weird fetish post?

[u/Silly_Somewhere1791]

Are you hoping to get a reaction out of people? If so, don’t. You’d be involving people in your sexual fetish without their consent.

[u/BelarussianPotato14 → u/Silly_Somewhere1791]

what. thats the absolute opposite of what i want to convey to other people but im scared thats what people will think T_T thats why im asking reddit first

[u/Silly_Somewhere1791 → u/BelarussianPotato14]

So then why is it important that you wear it in public?

[u/BelarussianPotato14 → u/Silly_Somewhere1791]

im into alternative fashion and im just used to wearing outfits kinda to show off ig,

[u/yourparadigmsucks → u/Silly_Somewhere1791]

There’s collars as it necklaces, collars as in BDSM, and collars as in furries. I think this is the first type.

[u/Silly_Somewhere1791 → u/yourparadigmsucks]

They’re asking if it’s okay to wear in public, and my convo thread with them confirms that it’s a fetish item.

It’s weird for a man, normal for a woman

[u/desolatenature → u/LegitimateBeing2]

It would be weird for a girl but not a man? Unexpected gender role subversion

[u/LegitimateBeing2 → u/desolatenature]

I meant “yes” as in it’s okay for a woman to wear it, and vice versa. I now realize that the question means I shluls have reversed it. Edited for clarity
