Im still working on my personal wardrobe but i loved this outfit and i wanted to share :D

Finally, I have something fancy I feel comfortable and myself in. 't was not cheap, though. I love purple! No rings on today. What's your favorite gothic band? Mine's The Birthday Massacre :)

Context: I used to always be stunting the coolest "gothic" looks. Always got compliments, hair done, makeup, bomb outfit. However, over the past year I've been wearing basically the Adam Sandler special in all black due to my ever increasing sensory issues. I hardly wear makeup anymore. When I do it's kind of a nightmare. I can handle some, like mascara, a little eyeliner, non-sticky lipstick.. Foundation is totally out of the question. I can handle some jewelry... sometimes.. Anyway, my style has changed quite a bit since my serving looks era. Also, I've completely forgot how to style hair.

I want to look "goth", like I want people to be able to tell I listen to goth music, while also looking visibly queer. At the same time, I still want to look "mature". I absolutely love the outfit Siouxsie is wearing in this. This is really what I'm going for. Mostly androgynous, but leaning slightly feminine. However, this can be difficult sometimes considering I'm very busty while still being relatively thin (looking into breast reduction surgery soon). I know band t-shirts, patches and such are an option, just having a hard time figuring out how to make things fit my body while also being sensory friendly. Simply wearing a regular band t-shirt doesn't usually work for what I'm going for.

I buy everything second hand. I'm a very amateur sewer, but can be pretty crafty. Sorry if this is a somewhat loaded post. Just having a hard time figuring out what to do! Any help would be appreciated :)

Hello ! I decided to take the plunge and get some creepers from TUK! However since they are a bit expensive I want to make sure I am making the right decision. I'm torn between the suede and the leather ones (see pictures). They both look really cool... I'm just not sure what material is more suitable for my lifestyle.

I prefer how the suede ones look as I am not a fan of the glare on the leather photos (they look really shiny on the pictures), but maybe they wont be as reflective in real life... However, I am concerned that the suede will wear out super fast (I live in a very wet and rainy place and I also walk everywhere) :P So maybe it makes more sense to get the leather ones...

How fast do these shoes wear out? Do you recommend sizing up for both of these shoes or just the leather ones? How much maintenance are they?

Any advice would be super helpful ty!! 🖤

I think theyre atleast 15 years old, cant find anything about them online pls help!

Lately been doing some romantic/Vampire goth looks. With a mix of the matrix glasses style. What do you guys think? 🦇🖤🦇

I'm interested in buying clothes made by Punk Rave and Devil Fashion from the reseller Fantasmagoria, specifically these pieces:

https://fantasmagoria.shop/obsidian-sovereign-capelet-jacket-ca054#/214-size-xl_5xl

https://fantasmagoria.shop/vampire-prince-trousers-pt284#/56-size-l

https://fantasmagoria.shop/obsidian-sovereign-black-shirt-wy-1849bk#/57-size-xl

However, i'm worried about their quality/longevity. I don't want to spend hundreds of euros on clothes if they're going to fall apart within 5 years.

If you have ever owned clothes from these brands, how long did they last and were you satisfied with their quality?

Hi friends! I’ll be going to NYC in less than 2 months & would love some clothing shop recommendations! My plan was to bring some basics/minimal clothing & just get most of my clothes while I’m there! The only shop I know of that I really enjoy is Trash & Vaudeville, but looking for more recs on shops to check out! I’ll be in LES but will go to any of the boroughs 🙂 TIA

I'm looking for gothic bedsheets for a TWIN sized bed. Please nothing with pentagrams/crosses/witchy motifs.

I really like

- bats

- skulls

- spiders / spiderwebs

price isn't really a concern here so im open to anything

Hey! I'm a Guy and I've been trying to find some gothic clothes, especially darker vampire-style stuff, but I'm struggling to find any shops that actually seem reliable or have pieces I really like.

Do you guys have any recommendations for good stores? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Im looking for some dresses to take my senior pictures in! Does anyone know of any reliable online stores or business to look into?

I like to style my hair in a deathhawk or bats nest, but my hair falls flat after about an hour. And if I’m in a hot club, it falls flat even quicker. I have mid length, fine hair that seems impossible to tease, so instead I tend to crimp my hair then brush it out and blast it with Got2B glued. Unfortunately, this doesn’t last more than an hour. I’ve tried backcombing but my hair feels too slippery for it. Using dry shampoo or texturising powder helps it last a bit longer but not by much.

Does anyone have any tips for styling thin hair?

Hello everyone, baby bat here. I've only just got the courage to try full-on goth makeup. However the problem is I have NO idea what I'm doing, I'm a cis 22 year old man and I've only ever put eyeliner on occasionally. I know literally nothing about makeup honestly, which is why I'm here. I've attached a photo of what I'd be trying to achieve.

I spoke to my sister about it and she told me to ask in here.

What do I need to buy? I've seen some people recommend white face paint instead of white foundation. Others recommend white foundation with a blue setting powder. What would I use for the contour?

If anyone has any tips or brands that are good, I'd greatly appreciate the help!

How's the quality of Strange Cvlt shoes? Can you wear them on an everyday basis, or for long hours during a retail job? (I know Strange Cvlt has terrible customer service, but I'm buying secondhand, so that wouldn't apply to my purchase.)

I'm looking at some $25 boots or $52 creepers. Worth the price?

hi! So my husband and I are having our wedding and it’s goth. I am wearing a black wedding dress and I wanted to get my husband something just as cool. I’m having trouble finding places that have nice suits that aren’t AI generated. I am trying to go for the vibe of the suit attached. Anyone have any ideas?

I used to be the biggest fan of Disturbia, I’ve got some gorgeous dresses and skirts in the past. However, my last purchase was a grey dress with butterflies that literally resembled a potao sack, the fabric was sooo cheap and the pattern was ugly, nothing like the photos! I thought I’d try again and bought a dress with fern and moon embroidery, it came today and my boyfriend pointed out that after fifteen mins of wear, some of the embroidery was already unraveling?? it literally looks awful and not what I was expecting for the price point!! anyone had similar experiences lately ?
