Gothic Style: a Timeless Alternative Fashion

Beyond being an architecture and an artistic movement linked to cathedrals, gothic style is above all an alternative clothing fashion. The gothic style is made up of many garments, for both the upper and lower body, often in black.

This fashion is adopted by people with unique tastes who like their clothes and style to be a reflection of who they are and of their vision of the world. Far from being fixed, gothic fashion offers many possibilities and leaves room for creativity and individuality.

Born in the late 70s and early 80s, this fashion was influenced by rock music, notably New Wave and Dark Wave, with major bands like The Cure, Sentenced or Paradise Lost. Gothic style was also influenced by punk and rock.

Neo-Gothic

Today, people rather talk about neo-gothic. The codes and norms have evolved and expanded into different communities. Many people attracted to dark looks can identify with this style. Neo-gothic fashion now reaches a wide audience.

A Gothic Look with Clothing

The gothic look is defined by the color black and often takes inspiration from Victorian, romantic, or chic fashions. It includes occult elements, sometimes morbid ones. But having a gothic style does not necessarily mean pale and dark makeup. Dresses, coats, skirts, jewelry (necklaces, rings, bracelets): a whole universe to create a tailor-made alternative style.

Gothic Style for Women: a Dark Look

Gothic women are diverse and numerous. Whether for “true goths”, teenagers, or lovers of dark clothing, gothic women’s fashion appeals to a wide audience. Lace, trims, lacing: refined details that bring elegance and personality. You can also find subcultures such as gothic lolita, punk, cyberpunk, emo, etc.
