Gothic style - inspiration for goth outfits
Gothic culture originated in the 70s and 80s. Music , mainly post-punk, played a key role in its development, when artists and bands such as Joy Division, Bauhaus, Dark Wave, Ethereal Vave, and Witch House played on stages. At that time, the Gothic style drew heavily from Victorian fashion, and was therefore very elegant.
Nowadays, the goth style has evolved and differs from its original. Modern influences have resulted in many branches of goth, such as mall goth, pastel goth, nu goth, and steampunk goth. Music is still an extremely important element of the goth subculture. If you want to learn about other alternative subcultures, read our post on alternative fashion.
Goth outfits - goth style ideas
Looking for inspiration for goth outfits? You've come to the right place! In this post I'd like to share with you some goth styling ideas. The outfits are based on products that you can find at SKYDANCE, so if you like something, you know where to find it :-)
Gothic corset — goth style outfit
The Gothic corset looks great when worn over a turtleneck , T-shirt or dress. This solution means that you can use the corset not only in the summer, but also on cold days. The corset will beautifully emphasize your waist and shapes, and the layer of clothes underneath will keep you warm.
The perfect complement to this goth style is a black tennis skirt . Find out why a tennis skirt is a must-have in every alternative wardrobe. The finishing touch to this style is fishnet stockings with a cross motif.
Goth Skirt — Goth Style Outfit
The mini skirt with a chain on the thigh fits perfectly into the dark gothic atmosphere. You can combine it with any t-shirt from your wardrobe. In this case, we chose the alternative Scared Heart t-shirt .
Accessories are essential in this goth style. Alternative jewelry in the form of rings, a leather choker , and a heart-shaped necklace. Fingerless gloves and fishnet tights go perfectly with the whole look. Strong makeup — dark, emphasized eyes and red lipstick give the style an edge.
Goth dress — goth style outfit
A black goth dress is a staple in any alternative wardrobe. You can wear it in countless ways. In this case, we opted for a fairly classic goth outfit.
In this style, the Salem dress plays the main fiddle . The sleeves are embroidered with a spiderweb pattern, which gives the dress a unique vibe. The style is characterized by large, chunky shoes and fishnet tights. You can add your favorite alternative jewelry to the whole thing and you're ready to go out on the town.
Goth vest — goth style outfit
Do you have a black vest in your wardrobe? You can successfully use it in your goth outfit! In this case, we used our Widow vest with embroidery .
A vest is a perfect choice for colder days. Not only is it a sacred accent that spices up an outfit, but more importantly it provides warmth. In this styling, we combined the vest with the Wednedday shirt. You can replace the short skirt with any midi skirt . The outfit is completed with spiderweb tights and chunky boots.
Wednesday Addams outfit - goth style outfit
Recently, thanks to Netflix and the series Wednesday, the titular heroine has enjoyed considerable interest. Wednesday Addams' style fits perfectly into the gothic climate, so you can draw a lot of inspiration from her for goth outfits.
On reels I share with you three outfits inspired by the iconic character Wednesday.
In the first outfit I combined theAstrid short sleeve shirt witha pleated midi skirt , Mephisto vest and tie. I have to admit that the styling has a rather academic character , so I broke the whole thing with a large, leather choker.
The second outfit is definitely more casual and is great for going out with friends. I paired the black tennis skirt with the Mori blouse, and put on the Demon Wings sweatshirt over the whole thing . An important addition here are spider-pattern tights and knee-high socks. This combination will keep you warm on cold days.
The third look combines Sinister jeans with a heart-shaped spiderweb embroidery with a Widow vest with spider embroidery. Any blouse you can find in your alternative wardrobe will work underneath. I used a black Wednesday shirt.
