Gothic fashion

The modern "gloomy" fashion, so beloved by the youth, does not resemble the usual Gothic fashion of the Middle Ages, it rather takes as a basis the style of the Neo-Gothic, which also originated in Europe, but already in the 17-18th century. Everyone has heard about the subculture is ready, it is so popular today that the Gothic style in fashion becomes a calling card and a distinctive feature of adherents of this trend.

Gothic and women's fashion

At the heart of the fashion of Gothic clothing lies the classic black color and its shades. Make-up is ready to be deadly pale, it implies full whiteness of the skin and any lack of sunburn. Requires dark eyeliner around the eyes and lipstick of very dark colors.

In their unconventional outfits Goths use such noble materials as velvet, leather, silk, lurex, taffeta, often decorate clothes with lace. The female gothic clothes were influenced by genre noir movies, the image of a femme fatale , which dates back to the Victorian era inherent in the Goths. Corsets girls Goths are worn as outerwear. Prefer dresses and skirts in the floor, mostly flared shape. Shoes are ready exclusively black. These are thick-soled shoes, which are called creepers, as well as massive grinders and martins. Representatives of this subculture often wear piercings, jewelry is chosen from silver - its cool color reminds the light of the moon.

In fashion, the Gothic style is so characteristic that it is almost impossible to confuse it with some other current. Once Goths borrowed from the Iroquois punks movement, but today preference is given to long hair, painted black, or hairdos with thorns. Clothing is worn as tight fitting, and free cut.
