Are you the person with a deeply dark Gothic complex? Is your personal style characterized by gloom and horror? There’s good news! Now is right time and season to show your gloomy side with gothic apparel. The Gothic wind has entered the winter clothing competition.

You must be wondering how to stay warm and not deviate from your preferred gothic style. Simple – pick the accessories that match with your love of gothic. Creativity is key. You will find trench coats, boots, hoodies, hats, jackets and more options to match your style and add a charm to your look. Gothic attires are available in lots of materials to get you through the season.

So how to keep warm and dress Lolita Gothic at the same time? Here’s a list of Gothic accessories and costumes you can try this winter:

1. Signature Gothic Coat

At the heart of your whole gothic look lies a coat. It’s the highlight of your winter look. You will find lots of options to keep you warm. What you choose depends on your personal style. You can either go for a black leather jacket, a trench coat or a woolen cloak.

Each type of coat or jacket represents a different type such as:

• Sports model



Sports jackets are designed to be worn on their own without matching trousers or pants. In other words, they are meant for sporting purposes.

• Windbreaker model



As the name implies, a Gothic windbreaker is designed for resisting wind and light rain. It’s basically a lighter version of a jacket. It’s made from thin fabric. This jacket is ideal for those goths who ride a bike.

• Woolen model

If you are looking for something warmer, a Gothic woolen Cloak would meet the goal. It has a large hood, it’s longer in length just perfect enough to keep your whole body warm.

2. Gothic Accessories

After a coat comes gothic accessories. Your winter look will be incomplete without these. Rich heavy dark fabric layered with a coat and some silver jewelry just looks perfect.

Hats

Hats have been part of formal wear for a long time. When it comes to gothic style, they make you look fashionable, gloomy and at the same time keep you warm. Ladies can give their own personal touch to it by pinning a brooch to the hat.

Scarves

Scarves are a popular part of the winter fashion accessory. To rock your gothic look and stay cozy, why not top your look with a scarf?

Choker and bracelet

These are one of those gothic accessories that can be worn by both men and women. You can use these accessories as a splash of color on your black attire.

3.Footwear

You have to be careful in picking your footwear because they can make or break the entire look. You will be glad to know that there are endless possibilities when it comes to gothic shoes. Boots are ideal for winter with a gothic cloak. I like chunky black leather boots.

Ladies with a love for heels can opt for boots with a spiked heel. This would give a sharp edgy look to your outfit. For a retro-style, platform boots in bold color are a great option. If you are looking for a functional option, then consider work boots with heavy metal fashion. They will keep your feet warm and pull your gothic winter outfit together. For those who would like something besides boots can choose lace-up sneaker, pumps or ballet flats. It all boils down to your personal choice.

4.Layers and Textures

In gothic, you have the liberty to add layers. This makes a great fashion statement and helps you stay warm. One can have so much fun with layers. You can combine items that you normally don’t wear. For instance, a graphic shirt with a leather jacket.

You can also combine items of multiple textures for creating a unique style. When you wear more than one material, it makes your outfit stand out. This pairs well with punk ensembles. You can combine a distressed T-shirt with ripped jeans and wear a leather jacket on top. Or you can wear a black dress with a hooded coat. You are free to come up with any style and look that keeps you toasty warm.

5.Leggings

Leggings can be worn in so many different styles. They go with everything – sweaters, t-shirts, and dresses. Instead of wearing fishnet stocking, you can wear leggings to stay warm in winter.

And they don’t have to be solid black. Pick from velvet, lace, and leather to add a gothic touch to your autumn and winter outfits. You can also go for bold colors like red and maroon. My personal favorite is purple.

6.Dresses and Skirts

Lolita Gothic style doesn’t always have to be about long cloaks, t-shirts, and leather pants. Dresses and skirts are also in fashion.

You can still wear them in winter and stay warm. Consider wearing a dress and skirt with leggings. Another option is to pair them with knee-high boots or tight jeans. Add interesting twists to your look with fur rim coat. The options are endless.

My Favorite Gothic Look

Here’s my favorite gothic look. The thing that I like the most about this jacket is its light fabric. It is perfect for creating a layered look. It has a hood to keep you warm and low-key at the same time.

Another thing that was appealing to make about this jacket is the “x” design at the back. I am a fan of ensembles with unique design and detailing. You can wear this jacket with black denim or leather jeans.

Your hair and makeup are just as important as Gothic coat and accessories. Winter is the best time to experiment. You might want to consider a new hairstyle for the new season. Platinum blonde has always been a popular choice among gothic fans. You can also go for purple, silver and blue. I am sure you might have already tried a Mohawk. This year, why not stick to your natural hair texture?

Enjoy rocking Lolita gothic in winter!
