I'm Gothic Lolita
And you are a criminal
I'm not even legal
I'm just a dead little girl
But ruffles and laces
And candy sweet faces
Directed your furtive hand
I perfectly understand
So it's my fault?
No, Gothic Lolita
With this song in my head, I sit down to write this piece of article, or whatever you may call it and thanks to the song, my laptop is already acting weird. GOTHIC FASHION, how many of you are those classic Goths who can scare the shit out of few dumbos?
For people, who want to look gothic, I’m gonna tell you HOW! HOW! HOW! And for people, who don’t want to look like one, who don’t beg to differ then Oh please! Stay away, you people spread such depression baap. :-/
Gothic fashion is all about dark eyeliner, dark nail paints, back from dead Zombie looks, dyed black hair, dark make-up, macabre jewellery, fish net stockings, morbid, eroticized fashion. And I’m gonna make you Goth in TEN simple steps. You can also check out a cosmetology school to find classes that can teach you how to do Gothic makeup.
- To look gothic, you have to be gothic. Morbid, Evil, Wiccan-Oh yes! You got to be all these. And heylOoOOO, all wannabe Goths, you can take a sneak-peak and turn yourself from a wannabe to a Goth chic. Yay!
- People confuse Goth fashion with heavy metal fashion. Oh please, punk fashion is Goth fashion. Heavy metal fashionistas, stop hallucinating. You people aren’t gothic, for Wiccan’s sake. Okhay, so where was I? Yeah Yeah, Goth fashion. All you people out there, get inspired! ;-) Watch videos on Victorian, Elizabethan fashion and grab few tid-bits. But don’t copy anyone, it’s not HALLOWEEN!
- Go to a thrift store and buy cheap, original clothes and get them customised. Get thigh length leather boots. Use ruffles, lace and make your clothes look good enough, okay? Don’t dress up like an X-mass tree and scare people.
- The most important piece of clothing in your Goth closet? Take a wild guess? No! Another guess? Okay shut up, it’s Band T-Shirts duh. Buy the tees of those bands you love the most. Evanescence, Epica, within temptation, Bauhaus, The sisters of mercy etc. Don’t wear tees of bands that you don’t like and end up looking like a dumbster.
- La lala time for your hair to look gothic. If you don’t want to dye your hair, it’s totally cool. Dyes don’t suit everyone but hey, there are few girls who can look gothic with natural hair. So try styling with your natural hair.
-
Black is not the only color okay? You can try violet, deep purple, dark reds etc. But decide your own colors. Goth is what you make it, not what others tell you. - Make up is the most important thing because make-up alone can make you look gothic. Gothic make-up is often dramatic. Loads of eye-liner, dark eye-shadows, and dark lipsticks. Heavy application of colors like black, red, purple around eyelids works well.
- Complete your look with accessories like lace gloves, metallic chains with skull pendants, bat earrings, bracelets, ribbons, black bands or any thrash you find in your closet.
- Do not pose and act smart like a Goth chic, okhay? You have to be a true Goth to do that. You’ll just be a fake poser or else.
And bam! You’re all set to look gothic.
Did I say 10 steps? You’re gothic already, ignore these silly steps and be air-headed alright?
