Tri-mantic (also known as Nu-Tribe or Nu-Tribal) is a fusion fashion of 80's New_Romantic style and elements of traditional Tribe imagery. Also emphasizing natural materials such as bone, feather, leather, patterns based on organic forms. The colour scheme remains natural. Clothing is usually worn very loosely to the body, fastened with a belt or buckle.
Make-up
Tri-mantic makeup takes geometric elements from the New_Romantic era and blends it with traditional tribal warpaint with an overwhelmingly African influence. Makeup is generally two tone (Black/white) and focuses on harsh geometric shapes and lines.
Jewelry
Jewelery is worn very heavily and also draws on traditional values. It uses salvaged items and natural form strung together by chains or leather thongs. Items might include bones, keys, feathers, snail shells, stones, drift wood, leaves. Silver is acceptable but not gold.
Hair
Dreads and braids are acceptable, as are plaits, with a focus on heavily DIY styling. Natural and woodish colours.
