Animal prints are good for all seasons. They come in many different colors and materials. Neutral leopard prints dominate.

The elements of Goth fashion derive from the Victorian Gothic era in the 19th Century, styled on the dark side. Think Edgar Allen Poe. Present-day Goth originally emerged from the post-punk scene in the United Kingdom in the early 1980s, and has caught on around the world and persists to this day. It is mysterious and poetic, edgy and dramatic. So whether you are Goth from way back or just looking into it, I have some up-to-date ideas here for how to get inspired by Gothic style.
Age doesn’t matter. You can get bolder as you get older. That’s not to say you can’t tone down this, or any, style. You can always be your true self and then throw in an element of style for fun, experimentation or self-expression. Trying out new things keeps us modern and youthful, and adding a third piece to a basic outfit is what makes things interesting.
So I am going to lay out the elements of Goth style, but you don’t have to use them all at once. One at a time is just fine. You can go crazy with it, you can add Goth pieces to something that’s the total opposite, you can wear it just for Halloween, or you can just buy one piece that you love and wear it forevermore. 😉
What follows are the elements and outfit ideas to get you inspired by Gothic Style.
