The Trends in Gothic Fashion: Where it is and Where it’s Going

June 18, 2018 by John & Hannah

The Gothic fashion style has a long history, and although it wasn’t considered contemporary in the past, it is now, more than ever, being embraced by many in the fashion industry. The Gothic fashion style has, of course, long epitomised an alternative fashion style, a style that’s unique and all on its own, often making use of the colour black as well as some other distinctive fashion elements. But there are some noteworthy trends when it comes to Gothic fashion, and if you’re into Gothic fashion, the trends may surprise you. Here’s a look at the trends in the Gothic fashion style: where it is and where it’s going.

The general Gothic look

There’s a general Gothic look which we are all familiar with: the heavily-lined eyes, the ebony or black lips, the stark white skin, and the hair of darkest black. This is often combined with accessories such as black or white t-shirts, fishnet stockings, lace, latex, and ribbons, as well as gold crucifixes and skinny trousers (leather, of course).

The origin of Gothic fashion is the Goths, a Germanic tribe and people known for invading the Roman Empire way back in the 3rd to 5th centuries. Goths were seen as barbaric by the Romans, but their image was later romanticised and they became known for being wild, anti-establishment, and, in a way, quite glamorous. Gothic fashion during the 13th century was described as exaggerated and form-fitting, complete with long sleeves and fantastic headdresses.

Gothic in the fashion industry

The Gothic style has also been widely used in the commercial fashion industry, particularly by designers such as Alexander McQueen, Givenchy (care of designer Riccardo Tisci), and Emma Cook. But the latest designer who showcased the Gothic style was Giles Deacon, who paraded models in black veils, and, needless to say, it was a big hit.

Where it is today

The Gothic fashion style has undergone a recent transformation, and although the classics are still broadly recognised and used, there are more colours in the spectrum when it comes to Gothic fashion. Colours such as midnight blue and aubergine are now a showcase of the Gothic style as well, and chartreuse is another colour which is taking centre-stage in Gothic fashion.

When it comes to accessories, there’s a resurgence in Gothic-inspired jewellery, and this includes veils made of crepe to memento jewellery and more. The shoes are no exception, with the emergence of more extravagantly-designed shoes such as ankle boots with metal toes and spiky heels. The corset is still going strong, and black lace is as enduring as ever.

If you’re into Gothic-inspired fashion but would like something a bit more casual, you can always go for the Gothic- and tattoo-inspired designs available at The Killing Tree, one of the most well-known sources for alternative t-shirts in the UK.
