Goth Essentials | Make Yourself Up Ghoulishly

Hello again! Just as a cheeky aside, if you didn't already know I have a YouTube account! I've not been on for a while due to illness but I'm planning on becoming more active again. Absolutely on idea how to work it anymore like.

SO, today's lesson is for Goth 'essentials', which you absolutely cannot exist without. Honest. Whether you're new at this or a seasoned professional, this might prove somewhat useful along with the other ten zillion articles that concern this on the interwebs 

Black clothes are an easy start. It's how I started; it's one of the quickest, cheapest and easiest ways to make a statement stylistically. In addition, it doesn't take much effort (*ノ∀`*)


For example, this is pretty much exactly what I'm wearing today:

praise be to Polyvore
Everything that I'm wearing today, except for the Docs, were thrifted. I made the black velvet choker in accordance with this tutorial! The fishnet gloves were a lucky find on account of it being Hallowe'en season ٩(♡ε♡)۶

Now, I know this outfit is simple. I know this won't make you look like a Vampiric BDSM queen (or king), but what it does do it work. My go-to outfit will forever be an oversized bat-wing jumper, black bodycon skirt and my precious Doc Marten's (a wise investment for even the thriftiest of Goths).  

Tights are a boon in the world of Goth (and those of us who live in fucking COLD climates). They can be worn plain on their own or 'layered'. The art of layering is entirely dependent on how much you can bear to deliberately rip and put holes in your tights. Oftentimes, when I ladder a pair of tights they will go in my 'pile of tights I will rip to shreds, wear once again and then throw them'. As an aside, is there nothing more painful than getting a hole in a brand new pair of fishnets?! A trend which I've observed in the Death-Rock side of our beautiful style is layering hugely ripped and tattered tights over tights with slightly more controlled rips and holes. To put controlled holes in your tights, you can use a seam ripper or a lit cigarette. Sadly, cigarettes are the most effective option as they cauterise the hole, making the tights less likely to ladder; this can also be achieved by using a small coat of clear nail varnish around holes made with a seam ripper.

Anyway, that's all for now! Byeee

  1. dumb fat fucking whore. You looked like a hippopotamuses on its way to gender studies with your big tiddy goth gf reddit posts. Like a down syndrome kid looking to show off their favourite flavour of pop. That's what 10 years of body positivity does, fat whores like you think you are deserving of just as much attention as women who actually look after themselves. You want to do that shit, go back to thinspro threads and sticking your fingers down your throat after every year. You'll look better. Oooh how much did you charge? 6.99 a month for the privilege to count the stretch marks on your elephant looking ass? Oooh What a treat! How are you not a millionaire by now?
