With some accessorizing and styling, you can pull off that hot, mysterious dark look, while still maintaining the mystery, but first, what exactly is the goth style?
Goth Culture
On a cultural level, the goth sub-culture is based on the attitude of “breaking the mold”. It stands for challenging the status quo and pushing the boundaries set by society.
To be simple, a goth can be considered to be one who finds dark things beautiful. They simply love things that are dark and mysterious. The goth culture reflects this sentiment quite well, with its dark and macabre overtones.
Gothic culture has a close affinity with all things dark and mysterious, hence the close association with the supernatural. The culture has grown over the years and has produced incredible works of art, from music to art, films, and fashion. For example, gothic themes have been featured in horror and supernatural films, with many characters who explore the supernatural, such as witches, shamans, or gypsies.
The Goth subculture developed in England in the early 80’ from the audience of goth rock, which was itself an offshoot of the punk genre. The name was even derived directly from the music genre itself. The subculture has drawn inspiration from many sources, some contemporary, others are quite ancient. It was as influenced by the contemporary music of the time as it was by mythology from various religions, such as Celtic, Christian, and Egyptian mythology, as well as some pagan traditions.
Notable figures that are reckoned to have influenced the subculture include, Nietzsche, Comte de Lautreamont, Jean-Paul Sarte, and Salvador Dali. Some popular writers that also influenced the movement were Ann Radcliffe, Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, H.P. Lovecraft.
The Gothic aesthetic revolves around dark clothing, as well as makeup and hair, which contrasts with the pale skin, material, and fashion of the Victorian age.
Gothic Clothing
The gothic style of clothing is one that is decidedly dark and mysterious, with a homogenous and antique look. It is somewhat morbid and dark. Typically, it includes pale complexions, black-colored hair, lips, and clothes. The feminine goth may use dark eyeliner, and fingernail polish. The style is influenced by Victorian and Elizabethan era clothing.
It has been described as a combination of black velvets, fishnets, leather, and lace with red or purple highlights, and has corsets, gloves, stilettos, and silver jewelry and accessories.
When it comes to goth fashion, nothing makes a dark or pastel gown, skirt, or corset stand out more than its accessories, especially lace.
Many styles of goth clothing involve lace in some form or the other, whether on skirts, corsets, or gowns. Other common accessories that are used, especially in conjunction with lace are gems and roses.
