Choosing the Right Clothing

1.Acquire a significant quantity of basic black clothes

For a long time, this colour has been associated with gothic aesthetic. Make it the primary colour of your new wardrobe's ensembles. On your first shopping trip, stock up on basic socks, trousers, blouses, and skirts. If you don't have the proper apparel, you won't be able to start putting together looks you like.

• T-shirts are an excellent place to start when it comes to developing your wardrobe. They're simple to come by, cheap, and available in a variety of styles. Buy an over-sized T-shirt and match it with high socks or fishnet stockings, boots, and jewellery for a more feminine look.
• It's fine if you don't want to wear all black all the time. Mix in different hues, such as red, grey, white, violet, blue, or pink, to provide some diversity to your clothes.
• Pick out black clothes in velvet, lace, leather, silk, PVC, and/or cheesecloth for a classic goth look.
• Goth fashion is based on creativity and DIY, so try looking for clothes at second-hand shops, flea markets, indie shops, and car boot sales.

2.Stock up on distressed clothing

Distressed or torn shirts and bottoms are a popular choice in practically every gothic subculture. Look for ripped or frayed edges on the body of shirts, as well as shredded denim pants or shorts.

• A black T-shirt, combat boots, and studded bracelets go well with distressed denim pants.
• Use fishnets below your ripped bottoms for a more gothic look.

3.Play around with graphic prints

Occult elements have long been a gothic fashion staple. Avoid wearing anything featuring pentagrams, moons, stars, skulls, or crosses on the pattern or image.
