All About Pastel Gothic Aesthetic

Intro

When it comes to the Gothic subculture, there’s also the image of a gloomy man in a black robe that precedes it. The image is complemented by a “noir” style of makeup and accentuated by dark accessories. So, who are pastel goths and how do they differ from ordinary ones?

 

Gothic subculture framework

Modern gothic fashion is a popular subculture that grew out of the British post-punk scene, when goth fans began wearing leather jackets, chains, combat boots, and dark makeup. The formation of modern Gothic fashion has gone through about 40 years. They are:

Gothic Lolita: Lolita refers to a beautiful young lady whose innocent appeal was contrasted by Japanese fashionistas with the not-so-subtle theme of death to create Gothic Lolita.

Often wearing colorful 80s T-shirts, Japanese comics, children’s jewelry and eye-catching eye contact. This is a fashion associated with Gothic Lolita.

Pastel gothic is a new gothic style that has only become popular in recent years. It first became popular on Tumbler. Pastel Goth originally originated in Japan and has a crossover with Confident Goth. But there are distinctions: pastel goth looks like a cross between Lolita and death rock, while also following current fashion trends like leggings, tank tops, and more. Pastel Gothic uses typical Gothic elements such as crosses, pentagrams, bats, and lots of spikes and rivets, but some things are presented through softer tones such as light pink, lavender, lavender, or mint green. of. They prefer light eye makeup, dye their hair a light color, or wear a light-colored wig. The overall style is simply creepy and cute.

One of the main points of pastel goth makeup is to emphasize the piercing of various parts, especially on the face. Decorations such as lip rings, nose rings, and tongue studs are common, and earrings are often in the shape of rivets, closely following the crazy feeling of death rock style. .

The second point is the heavy eye makeup, which paints almost the entire eye area in thick black, almost covering the entire eye socket, showing the depth of the eyes, as mysterious as wearing a mask.

The eyebrows need to be long and thin to highlight the thickness of the eye makeup.

Pastel gothic aesthetic jewelry

From the 13th century to the first half of the 15th century, which was the late Middle Ages, Gothic architectural style blew into jewelry art. Pointed shapes replaced rounded forms, and the fineness of lines was also greatly improved. Pearls were inlaid at the tips of jewelry. Softening the sharp lines, pins, belts, rings and headdresses are the most typical jewelry accessories of this period.

Gothic jewelry flows with the oldest black blood, with mysterious magnificence, mixed with a little romance, spreading power in silence.

Advocating the ultimate complexity in darkness, with a bit of weirdness, it carves out the eternal soul, penetrating the line of sight like the beautiful smile of the Gothic princess, and staying in your bone marrow.

Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation

This foundation also provides the ultimate skin realism effect and with 26 shades to choose from, including pale tones often favored in goth aesthetics. This foundation also has a matte look, but with a subtle sheen. Although the makeup is sheer, it can be built up, making it ideal for makeup artists and makeup enthusiasts, as it can switch from a transparent and natural base to a rich and flawless base.

NYX Professional Makeup Total Control Drop Foundation

The bottle of this foundation has a dropper design, which is my favorite cosmetic bottle design, more convenient and cleaner than any other.

The main difference between Manic Panic Dreamtone Liquid Flawless Foundation and MANIC PANIC Goth White Cream To Powder Foundation is that the former is Demi-Matte, the latter is Matte, the former is Sheer to Full Coverage, and the latter is Medium to Full Coverage, but there are no applicable occasions. Big difference. The former is Liquid Foundation and the latter is Cream-to-Powder Foundation. You can choose the product that is suitable and familiar to you.

 

Application techniques of goth foundation

We’ve mentioned gothic makeup in two previous articles: Step By Step Trad Goth Makeup Tutorial and How To Do Goth Makeup Looks: A Complete Guide.

Regarding facial foundation, people with fair skin are more suitable for gothic makeup. Usually, the foundation color can be one shade lighter than their own skin color. Foundation that is too white will feel like it is floating on the face.

goth white face makeup

Of course, this is for daily makeup. If your purpose is to create a mask-like stage makeup effect, such as dress up like Edward Scissorhands, then a mask-like pale face is what you need.

Try to choose a matte foundation and a foundation with strong covering power. The foundations we recommend above all meet this requirement. Be careful not to apply the foundation too thinly, because Gothic makeup requires a very detailed foundation, and the slightest flaw may destroy the entire Gothic effect.

No matter what style of foundation you choose, you need to ensure that your skin tone is even, so after choosing a color, focus on applying your foundation evenly. The makeup tools suitable for each person’s skin type are also different. Some people use makeup brushes, some use soaked sponges, and some use powder puffs. Just choose the one that suits you.

goth white face makeup

Generally speaking, the coverage power of these foundations I recommend should be sufficient. If that’s not enough, before you put on foundation, lightly apply concealer on blemishes and dark circles to effectively ensure the makeup effect. Also, don’t hesitate, I asked the makeup artist, concealer can be applied before or after foundation, the order doesn’t matter.

There are no fundamental rules for Gothic makeup, but it basically has to meet three conditions: the color contrast between weak white and dark, distinct contours and lines, and the overall dramatic effect. Therefore, the base must be pale and matte. Light-colored foundation is the foundation of Gothic makeup. When applying foundation, you can use a foundation that is one or two shades lighter than usual, and use the lightest color powder to set the makeup.

 

Goth makeup tips

Gothic makeup is basically a sharp contrast between pale white and sharp black. White foundation is a must. If you want a smooth skin texture, you can use products with moderate coverage and only cover areas that are easily noticeable, such as under the eyes and around the nose. After that, finish the look with a slightly brighter powder of the same tone.

The three-in-one BB cream that conceals, isolates and foundation can create a natural, flawless effect and make large pores and uneven skin tone disappear. Combined with mineral powder, the look becomes more matte and flawless.

Natural eye makeup: Use natural colors such as beige and flesh to modify the eye shape without revealing anything.

goth foundation

Eyeliner: It is best to use eyeliner, which is easy to operate, you can freely control the thickness, the color is obvious, and it has a luxurious feel.

Lipstick: Full red lipstick. It is best to outline the lip line with a lip liner to prevent the lipstick from spilling out and make the lip makeup look more refined and stylish. This red lip is a cool-toned red.

Like I mentioned above, flowers and thorns work well together. But now there are so many types of goth temporary tattoos, you can definitely find a unique pattern that attracts you. For example, in this picture there is a scene of clocks and flowers entwining.

There are also different types of flowers. The most common ones are of course roses. In addition to black and white, there are also bright red roses. Lotus is also widely used. The petal tips of Lotus are very beautiful and have special significance in Buddhism, symbolizing the realm beyond this world and the awakening of the soul.

Neck Tattoo

I mentioned in my previous article the benefits of chokers on the completion of goth outfits, so you can imagine the benefits of a ring-neck choker on goth style.

Black dress and fishnet stockings

Fishnet stockings, pantyhose, stockings, whatever. Either a dress or a skirt is fine. Don’t make your upper body too bulky, and don’t wear a coat that is too long. A plush coat is not OK, but a short ruffled coat is fine.

Black miniskirt and leather jacket

Goth Bathroom Ideas: Create Your Goth Room

Intro

If you are interested in goth indoor finishings, be sure to read our article on goth bathroom ideas for your goth bathroom! We have also written about goth kitchen before, and we hope to write a collection of goth indoor finishings for the whole house in the future!

 

Wall colors

If you want to create a goth bathroom with an instantly recognizable style, then the color of choice must be black. The wall is the largest background color block in a room, and its color selection is very important, as it can determine the main color and tone of the room.

Graphite and dark gray, deep purple and burgundy, red, and even white or silver are all goth bathroom ideas for wall colors worth considering. Outside of the main colors, a space can be given a more subtle touch with metals in shiny and matte finishes such as silver, gold, brass and copper.

goth bathroom ideas black goth bathroom

Or on the contrary, if you have decided on your furniture early, such as a perfect goth bathtub, and want the style of the entire bathroom to compromise for this bathtub, then you can choose the wall according to this bathtub The colors must not be exactly the same, otherwise it may look like a mass of black, without layering and beauty.

black and red goth bathroom

Well, the combination of black and red as shown in the picture above is bold and outstanding, and can catch others’ attention at once. However, when designing in black and red, you must pay attention to the orderliness of space lines. Use straight lines (choose square furniture and accessories). Only mirrors and bathtubs are enough for rounded lines. Don’t put too many things, otherwise it will look very cluttered.

 

Wall treatments

We mentioned the issues of layering and beauty above, so we have to mention some special wall designs that many people are using. Be it wallpaper or ceramic tiles, you can easily create the gorgeous wall feel you want.

First of all, considering that what we want are goth bathroom ideas, emphasizing the following bathroom features, the first thing that comes to mind should be waterproofing.

Therefore, the wall paint and wallpaper we choose should have this characteristic, and do not plant hidden dangers for future life just for the sake of pure beauty.

In addition, the most common wall in a bathroom is probably ceramic tiles, which is something I highly recommend. The tiles themselves are very reasonable, so you don’t have to worry too much about water stains. Some people don’t like the smooth surface of ceramic tiles, but in fact, there are now matte ceramic tile walls, and you can choose this. Besides, ceramic tiles are inherently thick materials that can create a layered background. With proper use, you can get a perfect goth bathroom wall.

Floor coverings

Bathroom floors can also be made of ceramic tiles, or black marble, black tiles or granite. Some floors with finely detailed patterns will bring you a wonderful experience.

The black and white checkerboard tile floor has never gone out of style, whether it is retro style finishings, our goth style, or some simple modern style, it seems to be perfectly suitable.

Wooden flooring is a bold choice, although placing the wooden floor in the bathroom will make people question its longevity: will it be damaged by water? But don’t worry! Nowadays, there are many wooden floorings, such as SPC stone plastic flooring, which not only retains the visual texture and aesthetics of wooden floors, but also avoids the weakness of wooden floors that are not suitable for long-term contact with water.

Lightings

Lamps are an effective part of furniture, indispensable, and very suitable for goth style.

Dark chandeliers, wall lamps or candles can create a unique and mysterious atmosphere in a Gothic bathroom. You can choose lamps and chandeliers with ancient or ornate designs. The more ornate the better. If you are not in the habit of reading in the bathroom, then lighting The darker the better. Well, even if you have the habit of reading while taking a bath, you can also prepare candles – it will create more atmosphere!

Metal fittings

Copper bathtub, gold faucet, bathtub paws, mirror. These are some of the most gorgeous items you can buy ready-made for goth bathrooms.

As shown in the picture above, you can leave the highlight of the bathroom to the bathtub alone, and other parts do not need to be too gorgeous, so that the overall bathroom reveals a low-luxury beauty.

 

Furniture And Decorations

Let’s talk from bottom to top. If your floor is a solid color, then choosing a carpet with a special pattern will be a wonderful match and can provide the finishing touch. Also, a little plant can neutralize the overly dull tone of your goth bathroom without being too overwhelming, and green can blend into almost any color palette, I say.

goth carpets

As for the bathtub, this is almost the core piece of furniture in the bathroom. Many goth bathroom ideas suggest black bathtub, and I agree. In fact, even if I wasn’t going to do goth style, I would still want a black bathtub. It would be too boring for everyone to have a white bathtub.

When talking about metal fittings, I also mentioned brass bathtubs, which have an incomparable sense of thickness and luxury.

In addition, the design of the bathtub claw highlights Goth’s weird features.

It should be noted that if the lines of other design elements in your bathroom are very rounded and have no edges and corners, and you have not decided on your bathtub, then you can actually choose a square bathtub to highlight its own presence.

Another important point in the bathroom is the sink. The design of this one is more free and diverse, especially the matching mirror. Is there any object that can highlight the Gothic style more than a gorgeous black-framed mirror?

gothic bathroom

There are two main styles of goth bathroom sinks, either rough stone or gorgeous porcelain. Moreover, generally speaking, in order to highlight the mirror or painting (some goth bathroom finishing directly replace the mirror with paintings, but it may not be convenient, it depends on your own wishes), the sink itself will not be too gorgeous, and in order to To neutralize black, white is mostly used.

But there are also some very personal style sinks, such as the vine sink in the picture below, or the sink is directly carved from a large piece of stone, or a wine barrel is used as the home of the sink. Create a “wine cellar style” bathroom design.

Small decorations

The example pic below shows a perfect way to take advantage of small decorations to show ingenuity. Skeleton figures hanging on the lampshades, butterfly wall decorations, exquisite black branch frames, hand towels with goth iconic patterns, skull paw soap dishes, skull vases, branch night lights, and black candlesticks, just buy them and you won’t go wrong.

Goth Lolita Shoes: Styles and Matching Tips in 2023

Different designs of goth lolita shoes

Goth lolita style, simply put, is a new style that combines Gothic and Lolita styles. It is like the middle part of the Venn diagram between the Gothic circle and the Lolita circle.

Speaking of goth lolita shoes, the main categories are Mary Janes, Tea Party shoes, boots, and rocking horse shoes. Next we will talk about some unique designs of goth lolita shoes.

goth lolita shoes

 

Lace and Ruffles

The clever use of Lace and Ruffles is not only outstanding in the field of goth lolita shoes, but also highly respected in all fields.

Lace and ruffles themselves have an elegant and soft nature, so style and sweetness are bound. Although we say that gothic style has little to do with sweetness, goth lolita style is indeed the sweetest branch of all goth styles. Therefore, the use of lace and ruffles elements on goth lolita shoes is an unmistakable choice.

In terms of clothing matching, you can also choose a match with lace and ruffles elements according to the shoes, otherwise only lace on the shoes may appear a bit abrupt. In addition to the lace of the shoes themselves, you can choose socks with lace and ruffles to match. A pair of socks that are beautiful in themselves can often add a lot of points to your outfits.

Lace and Ruffles goth lolita shoes

 

Bows and Ribbons

As I said above, bows and streamers are also elements bound to cute and sweet styles, but black bows and streamers can always give people a black angelic sense of mystery.

The top can be paired with a classic shirt characterized by a stand-up collar and exaggerated ruffles on the front, in black, of course. Adding a bow from the collar to the chest can further emphasize the impression of a lady.

The principle of matching is harmony and balance. If you want to wear a dress with complicated hem and skirt, then the choice of shoes should not be too fancy, otherwise the whole body will feel very heavy, and it will look like a cake with ruffles all over, which is very bulky.

On the other hand, if you choose a more sophisticated top, you can wear shoes and socks with a more complex design to achieve a balanced look for the whole body.

Platform Soles

Thick high heels, essence of lolita goth outfits.

Lolita style always gives people a cute girly feel, and it also seems to have the impression of not being too tall. This may be why you always see girls wearing Platform Soles high heels when wearing lolita skirts. , and almost all have thick heels, no thin heels.

A big difference between the impressions given by thick-heeled high-heeled shoes and stiletto-heeled high-heeled shoes is that the slenderness and sharpness of stiletto-heeled high-heeled shoes will give people a sharper and stricter impression, always tending to a sexy style, and the pointed toes of the shoes are also The same; and the round toes of thick heels and shoes give people a natural roundness, which makes them look honest and cute. Moreover, thick heels are more comfortable to wear because of their large force-bearing area.

Therefore, when we choose Goth Lolita style, we must not forget the cuteness brought by thick-soled shoes.

Victorian-inspired Silhouettes

The goth lolita style itself was born out of the Victorian clothing style, so it is very close to the Victorian style. The Victorian style is based on the clothing of European aristocratic women in the Elizabethan period of the 16th century and the Victorian period of the 19th century. It has both a sense of classicism and luxury.

Victorian-style classical skirts are generally decorated with ruffle shapes, matched with corsets, and often use lace and tulle designs. We talked about the unique style design of goth dresses in our previous article about Gothic Dress Detached Sleeves “Gothic Dress Detached Sleeves: Unique Combination Charm“. Interested friends can click to read.

Victorian-inspired Silhouettes victorian goth lolita shoes

In terms of item matching, in addition to corsets (if this is considered an item), feather fans, veils and mesh hats, umbrellas with ruffles, etc. are all very common items. We have written an article about Goth Glasses before. You can take a look. I think goth glasses with glasses chains are very suitable for our goth lolita style and the goth lolita shoes we are talking about today.

Unique Heel Shapes

If the background color of lolita is cute and complicated, then the background color of goth should be mysterious and eclectic. This unique heel shapes goth lolita shoes embodies the exaggerated and unique characteristics of goth lolita style to a great extent.

“Heels are unrestricted,” says shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti. “They are antidepressants.” Unique heel shapes are a favorite among designers because they can highlight style in the most eccentric way. and attitude.

Unique Heel Shapes gothic lolita shoes

However, the biggest hidden danger of unique heel shapes shoes may be that they are easy to fall. If it is a thick heel and hollow design, it is okay to say that it completely changes the shape of the heel and causes uneven force. In fact, it is easier to cause sprains and may cause plantar pain after being worn for a long time. Therefore, please be careful.

 

Prints and Patterns

There are so many representative elements and images of Gothic style, how can it not be reflected in goth lolita shoes? In addition to printing directly on the shoe, it can also be displayed through various small parts (such as shoelaces, etc.). The picture below shows the use of shoe buckles to make a bat shape. The special-shaped heels mentioned above are also one of the ways.

Color Contrasts

We all know that the basic color of goth style is black, so the natural contrasting color is black and white. The ultimate contrast between black and white can achieve the highest color saturation, giving people almost the highest attention. Of course, don’t forget our matching tips: If the color contrast cannot be achieved through a pair of shoes, you can completely use socks to complete the effect, such as all-black shoes and all-white socks. In the same way, other colors can also be matched. Black and bright pink are also very good combinations.

Black Goth Flowers

As we all know, black is the main color of goth flowers. Let’s take a look at what black goth flowers are.

 

Black Tulip

Black tulip is one of the flower colors of the Liliaceae flower tulip. It was cultivated by three students from the Singapore Polytechnic in early February 2005. It is commonly known as the “Queen of the Night”. It is one of the rare tulip varieties. This flower color is still rarely available in the market. See. The deep purple petals, because they reject the refraction of light, are completely immersed in their own world. Isolated from the world, it looks lonely and a little strange.

Black Peony

The black peony is the king of peonies. Not only are black peonies rare in number, they are also very difficult to find. Black peonies refer to peonies that are almost black, not really as black as charcoal. The most famous ones are Oolong Womochi, Qinglong Womochi, Guanshi Moyu, Smoke Velvet Purple, etc. It is very difficult to artificially create black flowers, and even through crossbreeding, the chance of obtaining black flowers is extremely slim. Therefore, among the colorful flowers, black peony has become very precious because of its scarcity.

Black Iris

The best growing environment is sandy soil with good drainage at an altitude of 700-900 meters above sea level. The sunshine should be more than 8 hours, and the temperature should not be too low. Humidity and frost will affect its growth. It is endemic to Jordan.

Black Datura

7 Alternative Goth Glasses in 2023: How to Match?

Goth Glasses Types

If you don’t know what types and options there are for goth glasses, then you can read the explanation in this section. There are many styles of goth glasses. Here I list some of the more distinctive goth glasses for reference and matching.

 

Goth Glasses with eyeglasses chain

The glasses chain is just like the waist chain, it is a very eye-catching detail. You can even pair eyeglass chains with waist chains. If you are wearing velvet clothes, you can pair them with metallic chains to add luster and coolness. Gorgeous retro clothing and Goth style are very suitable for this item. After all, at the beginning, we all knew that the old ladies in some retro dramas wore eyeglasses chains. But if we think about it from another angle, we can find that the waist chain itself is like crossing the river of history and coming to Now, it brings a retro feel.

Studded Goth Glasses

Although in daily wear, it is rare to see glasses decorated with rivets. But for the Gothic style, the relationship between rivets and punk goth is like fish and water, unable to leave each other. You can check out our previous article 5 Goth Belt Ideas And How To Style Them, which also mentions the matching of Studded Goth Belts. For goth outfits, the combination of rivet elements is consistent for both Goth Belts and Goth Glasses. It should not be too many, but it cannot be one alone.

Studded Goth Glasses

 

Round Frame Glasses

When I think of round glasses, in fact the first image that comes to my mind is Harry Potter. This style of glasses with a British feel at the end of the last century not only has a retro elegance, but you can also find it from Harry Potter: it is perfectly suitable for those dark scenes.

You may find that most of our clothes are rectangular and angular, while round-framed glasses are rounded and not as obvious as square-framed glasses. They are more suitable for people with long faces and can neutralize them. The lines of the whole body, especially the face, make the whole body show the beauty of lines. People with round faces are also advised to avoid this style, otherwise it will become rounder when it comes to round faces and accentuate facial flaws. But if you really want to try round glasses, maybe start with these slightly larger round sunglasses.

Wastelander Goggles

This is actually a specific product of steampunk goth. Combined with leather jackets, masks, etc., it is the classic look of steampunk goth.

The steampunk style itself is an imaginary theme based on the British Victorian era. Contrary to cyberpunk, it mainly expresses people’s expectations for the future development of science and technology when capitalism has come to the stage in the industrialization era, the aristocracy has not yet withdrawn from history, and imperialism has not yet emerged. A positive and enterprising romantic spirit.

Nowadays, many games with the steampunk label show a decadent and dark style that is a combination of multiple elements such as Cthulhu, Gothic, and magic elements.

Steampunk clothing style was created based on the Victorian era in England.

“Dressing women up like flowers”, shirring, lace, ruffles, puff sleeves, bows, lace, cake skirts… The complex combination of elements of Rococo, Baroque, Gothic and various exotic styles is Victoria’s The biggest feature of clothing.

Wastelander Goggles goth prescription glasses

 

Gear Goth Glasses

Gears are also a characteristic element of the steampunk era. We can imagine the spliced combination of leather and gears.

In the industrial era under the background of steampunk, people’s clothes must be streamlined, and sometimes late-Victorian costumes are used to make them more concise. In order to highlight the characteristics of steampunk, leather has a greater proportion in the clothing, and clockwork, gears, chains, rivets and other industrial elements are also integrated into the clothing.

Because of the romanticism of steampunk and the open and inclusive characteristics of the Victorian era, the stacking of elements and the mixture of multiculturalism are also major characteristics of steampunk. It is natural for industrial parts to become clothing accessories, and most of these parts are used in the story. Be practical.

Of course, some costumes are becoming more and more exaggerated and weird, and even have magical elements. This is actually the result of the gradual integration with other styles. Steampunk creators are unconstrained, and there is no strict standard to define steampunk. Many of them have the costumes of steampunk-style works may not necessarily have steampunk elements.

Gear Goth Glasses

 

Bat Goth Glasses

The bat is actually one of the icons of Gothic style, along with roses, thorns, skulls, etc. This pair of glasses is a pair of special-shaped glasses. The shape itself is very beautiful, but it serves more of a decorative purpose. Bat glasses actually fit perfectly with our vampire goth style. Although I have also seen rose-shaped glasses, rose-shaped glasses are actually consistent with Victoria goth style because they focus more on elegant beauty, while bats are more Dark, mysterious, and dangerous, just like Gotham City as rendered in the movie Batman.

Bat Glasses goth with glasses

 

Cat Eye Goth Glasses

The biggest feature of cat-eye glasses is the lines of the frame, which are straight up. For the Cat Eye Glasses with metal frames, this combination of metal and thin does not have the bulkiness caused by thick plastic frames and the feeling as if the whole person is being weighed down by the glasses. However, Cat Eye Goth Glasses with plastic frames are more likely to be colorful and have a more lively atmosphere, which is more suitable for pastel goth style.

The lenses of some Cat Eye Glasses are very small, which makes the sunglasses become a facial decoration. Not only does it not cover the eyes, but it also highlights the beauty of the eyes themselves and highlights your eye makeup. Moreover, the overall size of the glasses is smaller, but they are more angular and aggressive.

Cat Eye Glasses goth with glasses

 

How to look goth with glasses?

The first suggestion I want to make is to choose a pair of goth glasses. You can directly choose a style from the above according to the style you like, because the styles I mentioned above are already very suitable for goth style glasses.

Secondly, I want to emphasize that your clothing style needs to echo your glasses style. You can’t choose a pair of Bat Goth Glasses, but wear a complicated Victoria Goth skirt, it will look weird. For goth dresses, you can take a look at our previous article: Gothic Dress Detached Sleeves: Unique Combination Charm.

vampire glasses goth makeup with glasses

In addition, what needs to be emphasized is makeup. Even if you wear glasses, it does not mean that you have to give up eye makeup. As I wrote above, some glasses (such as Cat Eye Goth Glasses) have narrow lenses and can even In turn accentuate your eye makeup.

9 Impressive Goth Cartoon Characters

Intro

I believe that everyone has a certain understanding and curiosity about goth cartoon characters. Maybe some people’s understanding of goth begins with some goth cartoon characters, so let’s talk about these goth cartoon characters specifically!

 

Sam Manson from “Danny Phantom”

High bun, purple lipstick, purple tights, baby shirts…that’s Sam Manson, one of the main characters in the animated series “Danny Phantom.”

You can tell her goth style by the large expanses of black and purple she wears.

She’s not your typical goth cartoon character. Beyond combat boots and necklaces, there’s also a spirit of challenging convention at every turn. Whether advocating for her super-recycled vegan beliefs or delving into ghostly adventures, Sam’s gothic flair isn’t just about appearance, it’s a bold statement of her strong personality. In a world where trends are fleeting and superficial, Sam stands out, proving the authenticity and depth that goth culture prizes.

Lucy L. Loud from “The Loud House”

Lucy Loud stands out in The Loud House as the embodiment of all things goth, even amidst the chaos of ten siblings.

As young as 8 and later 9, she began delving into Gothic poetry and led the undertakers club at Royal Woods Primary School. Her pale complexion and black hair mysteriously cover her eyes, adding to her eerie aura.

Although dressed in monochromatic outfits and often exuding a melancholic air, Lucy has a heart; she feels deeply and is more sensitive than her stoic appearance might suggest.

This dark-loving damsel not only has the style and mysterious appearance of Edgar Allan Poe; She’s a multifaceted character who occasionally shines through dark gloom, proving there’s more to her than meets the (hidden) eye.

Shego from “Kim Possible”

Shego is a very popular character, indeed. I often see the combination of Kim Possible and Shego in some cosplay situations. They are very suitable for group dress up.

Now let’s talk about her goth style. In fact, for cartoon goth characters, the most obvious features are black hair and black lips. Shego’s typical green tights suit shows her character’s classic color combination: green and black. This almost modern clothing is actually an evolved gothic style. Who says that gothic style must be trad goth or victoria goth?

Marceline from “Adventure Time”

Marceline has a tomahawk-modified bass guitar, which is actually an important feature of goth characters in cartoons: they always seem to have to carry a guitar.

Playing the guitar melancholy under the moonlight seems to be one of the important scenes in animation to show the character of a Goth.

The painting style of Adventure Time is very cute, but this is not inconsistent with Marceline’s gothic style. Her long hair and little fangs are also cute, as are the bat patterns on the lamps and bedside in the room.

Raven from “Teen Titans”

If you really want to dress up as a cartoon goth, I think it’s easiest for you to dress up as Raven. It’s not that she is the most gothic, but her costume is very simple: you only need a cloak.

The cloak is almost one of the most mysterious clothing. It is half-covered and only the lower half of the face is exposed. Walking in the dark will automatically turn into a black shadow – fantastic!

Raven actually has straight hair under the cloak, of course, black hair, again! It seems that we often see this kind of character in cartoons: expressionless, taciturn, mysterious but beautiful. Raven can be said to be the originator of this type of character.

Andrea from “Daria”

Andrea is a very individual person, and obviously goth characters in cartoons are very individual. She often expresses dissatisfaction, like for every aspect in school. She also has a kind of dry humor, or a sense of sarcasm, which is the same with many gothic cartoon characters. They usually don’t speak, but when they speak, they are full of sarcasm.

Andrea’s interest in alternative music, art, and counterculture is also mentioned in the plot, and these seem to be the interests of Goths in many plot arrangements.

Draculaura from “Monster High”

As the name suggests, you can tell that she is a vampire figure. If you have read our previous articles, you know that one of the goth styles is the vampire goth. Not to mention her pink and black matching, which is very consistent with pastel goth’s aesthetic: it not only cleverly combines Victorian elegance and modern punk clothing, but also embodies a lively and cute feeling.

Draculaura is also a pure vegetarian vampire who does not drink blood but eats vegetables. This setting gives this character a counter-cultural sense of rebellion, which is very much in line with our goth spirit.

Lydia Deetz from “Beetlejuice”

The animated Beetlejuice is inspired by Tim Burton’s film of the same name, Beetlejuice. Just like our impression of director Tim Burton, the animation is also full of fantastic colors. It is worth mentioning that the role of Lydia Deetz in the movie is played by Winona Ryder.

Lydia Deetz from "Beetlejuice" goth cartoon characters female

Lydia Deetz in the movie is very similar to her image in the cartoon, sharing a high short ponytail hairstyle, an all-black jumpsuit, and a big, round black hat. Like many gothic characters, Lydiau enjoys reading some literary classics, such as the collective works of Edgar Allan Poe, Stephen King and other gothic and horror writers. There is no doubt that she is creative, smart, lively, perceptive, and has just the right amount of cute quirkiness.

Gaz from “Invader Zim”

Gaz’s outfit is really a typical teenage goth look, with an oversized skull pattern top, red striped jeans, purple dyed hair, black or dark purple eye shadow, maybe and a skull necklace…classic.

Her expression always seemed impatient, as if any sarcastic words coming out of her mouth were appropriate. Her favorite things are pizza and video games, and her personality is grumpy, dark, cynical, and even antisocial.

What’s also interesting is that her hairstyle looks like a roaring mouth: with five fangs.
