The ultimate guide to dressing Goth and standing out
Achieving the gothic fashion look is not difficult. With our tips, you will be able to put together a stunning gothic outfit.
The gothic style fashion came from the post-punk scene in Britain in the early 1980s. It is going nowhere anytime soon. A lot of people around the world indulge in this style to the point that it is associated with several signature traits. You can get into the Goth scene by learning the basics of the style.
Choosing the right outfit
When it comes to choosing the right gothic outfit, there are a few important things to keep in mind to choose the right outfit.
Buy a lot of basic clothing
When buying basic clothing, remember to keep it black or grey, with hints of purple and other jewel tones. This colour scheme has been considered a gothic fashion staple that you shouldn’t leave out. You should work black into your wardrobe as the main colour of your gothic outfit.
You need to invest in plenty of pants, socks, skirts and tops during your first shopping trip. You cannot build outfits you like if you do not own all the essential pieces.
You can start with T-shirts as they are essential when building your gothic wardrobe. They are cheap, easy to find, and exist in numerous styles. If you want to achieve a more feminine style, then you should purchase a fitted T-shirt. You can pair it with fishnet stockings or socks.
Gothic fashion means choosing black clothes in lace, velvet, silk, leather, and so on. The Goth style is based on DIY and creativity so you could try and look for second-hand clothes, car boot sales, and indie shops.
Consider distressed clothing
Ripped or distressed clothing, bottoms and tops are one of the most common styles in Goth fashion. You should find denim shorts and jeans on the legs or tops. Consider wearing distressed jeans with combat boots, a black t-shirt, and studded bracelets. Wearing fishnets underneath your bottoms will give you an extra gothic look.
If you want to achieve the gothic style then you should try occult patterns. Watch out for any graphic or patterned clothing featuring pentacles and pentagrams, stars, moons, crosses or skulls. You can put on a moon-phase printed dress with black creepers and black socks.
Consider plaid items if you want to identify with Nu Goth
Plaid is a popular pattern in this subset of the Goth style. It can be found in tops, bottoms, outwear and more. Blue, red, green, purple, and black plaid are great to incorporate into your style. Wear a black top with plaid pants or a plaid skirt.
Collared shirts do a fine job with gothic style fashion. These are great unisex options and can be found in different styles. They can be found in patterns, solids, or colour-blocked designs. However, you need to be very careful when it comes to colour blocking.
And don’t forget accessories!!!
