Finally paid off my wedding dress! I cant wait to wear it again. I need opinions, should I do a black veil or just a hair piece? I didn’t try one on at the shop but I’m leaning toward a hair piece !

Okay I know I should have just ignored them, but this is what I wore to pride yesterday and someone said I had eyeliner blindness. Is it bad or are they just “basic” every goth makeup look I’ve seen has had big eyeliner, so what do yall think?

Asking for Advice Is there anyway to make red hair look “goth”

I had black hair for years and I loved it and my soul yearns to go back to it however when I decided to go back to my natural colour my mum paid to have it all stripped for me and it cost 100’s and I can’t help but feel it would be a major disrespect to her to go back to black. I’m also slightly scared my child will not recognise me🤣.However I feel my hair just doesn’t suit how I dress or my personality I tried getting face framing pieces to add a bit of something and it still just feels so plain and boring. Any advice welcome on haircuts styling options etc 🖤🖤 few pics just to show my hair atm my hair is also fairly wavy naturally if that makes a difference

i feel like the last few months i’ve been in such a creative, emotional, social slump. i used to go out every day noticeably goth — even if it was in smaller ways it was still clothes black, makeup to match. but now i feel devoid of energy to put together outfits, so i go out in comfy, neutral, completely basic clothing. and then i want to do makeup but just doing the makeup by itself while wearing nothing special and going nowhere special feels dumb. i used to have so much fun and be so inspired. people would stop me on the street and compliment my style and i’d make so many friends. these days? i’m holed away in my room, feeling miserable, looking like a swiftie.

anyone else feeling this way or has felt this way before? how did you pull yourself out of it? i’m so sad. it feels like ive lost a best friend.

I did buy them second hand but they were in fabulous condition, the seller had claimed to have only worn them twice. And within a week one of the heels came detatched, really annoyed! If anyone has any idea how I can get them fixed, let me know.

Asking for Advice Am I too old for this?

Hi friends! I was goth through college, went preppy during grad school, and when I turned 30 I went back to my goth roots. My question is, as a lady in her 40s, do I look like a fool when I wear my goth gear, black lipstick, battle jacket, facial piercings, and non-traditional hair styles and colors? Particularly wondering about if I come across as desperately trying to hold on to my youth.

Asking for Advice How do I express that I’m goth when the dress code is “no black & something summery”

12 Upvotes

It’s a wedding. It’s laid back and I think involves rock climbing. I’m not allowed to wear anything black. But I hate not wearing goth style clothes. It’s a part of my identity and how I express myself. I don’t think I could do all white either since it’s a wedding. And no suits either so I can’t wear a tux. Any suggestions? Maybe gothic accessories?

No wrong answers! I’ve been playing around with fun/chunky accessories, and I really like these. I doubt they’d be work appropriate, but I love wearing them out & about 🖤🫶💀

With red/blonde hair how tf am I supposed to dress more “goth” I love the styling and am not opposed to wearing eyeliner as that’s my next new thing to try. I’m kinda scared to wear full makeup however bc I’ve never done makeup before and ik it’ll be terrible lmao. I have some new accessories that are in the mail: barbed wire belt chain and necklace/bracelet. I don’t really want to dye my hair bc then I’d have to dye ny eyebrows and mustache and I’d rather not. Way too much work however I guess if I were to try it out I’d just want something temporary so maybe some box dye?

My husband got me these gorgeous shoes and I’m madly in love with him and these boots. I wanted to bring them on a trip where I will be flying across country (USA) and I’m afraid to put them in my bag because what if they get crushed… so basically, has anyone had any issues wearing shoes like these on an airplane? I’m so overly paranoid about it because I get checked seemingly every time I fly anywhere.

I am so absolutely in love with the goth aesthetic but can’t seem to find the clothing I want anywhere at least not without paying an arm and a leg for it 😭. Can anyone help me find some good websites or clothing brands that sell cute goth clothing for maybe a better price?? Also how can I do my makeup to present more goth? I only use eyeliner but are there any good brands of lighter foundation and eyeliner pens you swear by? Pics posted below please give me some pointers!

Asking for Advice Swimwear help

I’m a trans woman that’s very pre transition and can’t dress how I want, but I’ve been collecting a big file of all the stuff I think looks nice so I have an idea of what to buy when I can dress properly

I recently thought about swimwear and while I’m still probably a few years off from being comfortable swimming, I can’t find ANYTHING that is both stylish and provides decent coverage

I don’t mind showing some skin, but so many of these just have your ass hanging out, or are really boring

These were the only ones I found that I thought looked nice and wouldn’t make me super uncomfortable, the second one especially even if it’s cut a little low for my taste

Does anyone with a bit more experience have any advice?

Have been using make up like on 2nd pic most of the time. Dark red circles around the eyes to make eye sockets more pronounced. But always wanted to branch out into something less casual. Unfortunately my eye shape is terrible due to how the upper eyelid is placed (added some photos for reference). Tried smokey eyes with black shade, but doesn't work exactly for that reason. Was hoping for some recommendations or advice. Would greatly appreciate your help.

Asking for Advice This is like the most “goth” ish fit I’ve ever come up with. I want to start dabbling into this style. What else could I do?? Like chains? Is color allowed?

I don’t know what I’m even asking for because I literally have no idea what to do. I could maybe try trad goth makeup. Would it look weird if I skipped the white base and just did the makeup without it? I’m pretty pale as is. I really like Siouxsie Sioux, and all the lace she wears. Should I lean into the 80s? The dress I’m wearing in the picture is vintage from the 80s.

Also with my hair… my hair is super long and curly so IDK what to do with it. Ironing it would do no good, because it ends up getting curly in 2 seconds afterwards. What do I do with it?

Also my glasses… do they ruin the look??
