In the last article, we have already talked about Gothic features in different style categories. If you just want goth style tips for everyday wear, then check out this. We prepare the most fashionable goth outfit ideas for you.
“Goth” has long been integrated into our daily life as a dressing mode. Some fashion shows often add Goth elements, or directly use Goth as the theme. For example, I previously posted in “How To Do Goth Makeup Looks: A Complete Guide “The MET GALA 2018 mentioned in this article, remember? I mentioned Lily Collins’ gorgeous dark Madonna look.
Gloomy Gothic style is popular in major fashion weeks
Gothic clothing style has witnessed the times and history. It is an important link in the history of global clothing from the Middle Ages to the present. All concepts and all ideals are gathered into mysterious, strange and weird clothing with a retro style.
Today’s Gothic style has already jumped out of the misunderstood traditional concept of “non-mainstream” and has become more of a conveyance of emotions. It is exactly the opposite of the “positive energy” that is currently promoted. It seeks strength in the darkness, is rebellious and lonely. But this sentiment began to be loved by a niche crowd.
As early as the 2015 autumn and winter fashion weeks in New York, London and Milan, there was a significant fashion trend, that is, the gloomy Gothic style became popular in the 2015 autumn and winter women’s wear shows, using lace, leather and organza, etc. The combination of tactile fabrics creates a new gloomy gothic style, mostly in black, which interprets mystery to the extreme and has to be amazing.
A basic gothic men’s wardrobe includes:
- Black shirt;
- Leather pants;
- White blouses are reminiscent of blouses with spiked collars;
- Long coat;
- Hat;
- Somber makeup: pale face and dark hair;
- Silver jewelry with Gothic symbols: cross pendants, skull earrings, decorated with roses, spiders, dragons, bats, etc.
Male Victorian Goth Idea
In this section, we provide you with various ideas suitable for male victorian goth style for your reference and selection.
Male Victorian Goth Idea1: Black turtleneck tight leather jacket
This item is a versatile inner wear for almost all Male Victorian Goth outfits. If you want to match a Male Victorian Goth outfit, you must not miss this perfect item! Tight-fitting, close-fitting clothing is almost a must-have element for gothic outfits in all Gothic periods. Tight-fitting clothing can better show the slimness of the human body, and most Gothic clothing is black and dark, which is a color that looks slimming when worn. So when you are wearing a both black and turtleneck tight clothes, you look even thinner, with an almost morbid beauty, which is actually a core of gothic beauty.
Male Victorian Goth Idea2: White Women’s Shirt
I’m not talking about literally women’s shirts, blouses, no, after all, the sizes of men’s clothes and women’s clothes are still different. I’m actually talking about shirts made of silk or chiffon, the kind of shirts whose sleeves can flow in the wind, the kind that look like something you can find in a cute girl’s wardrobe.
The best choice is loose-fitting styles, with fairy-like fluttering ribbons, or ruffles and lantern sleeves, which can show the aristocratic style of men in the Victorian era.
Male Victorian Goth Idea3: Black Cape Coat
If you have read our last article Multiple Male Victorian Goth Ideas 2023 (Part.1), then you know how suitable this Black Cape Coat is with 1990s The Vampire Goth! Vampires seem to be born wearing this handsome cloak that covers most of their body and seems to turn into wings when opened! Just like black leather shoes with red soles are sexy, a coat with black outside and red inside is also full of charm.
Male Victorian Goth Idea4: Silver Metal Chain
Silver metal is very suitable for goths because of its cold texture and color. It is one of the best items for Male Victorian Goth outfits!
Thick metal chains can be used as necklaces and bracelets. Paired with black clothes or gloves, it can better show the whiteness of the skin and give a sense of vulnerability. The thin metal chain can not only be a necklace, but can also be hung as a cross pendant to cater to the Gothic style. It can also be used as a chain to decorate clothes. As a silver decoration, it is embellished on the black base color for the finishing touch.
Male Victorian Goth Idea5: Rope
This inspiration comes from the costume design of a show. This rope plays the same role as the heavy metal chain mentioned above. It has a sense of imprisonment, but it is not so rigid, but with a sense of spontaneity, like a cat getting entangled in the fringed rope that tied the curtains at your home. The outfit is given an attractive sense thanks to this little fantastic tool.
Paired with the loose white shirt mentioned before, it gives a kind of vulnerability, like a pale frail pretty.
Male Victorian Goth Idea6: Pin Element
In fact, the use of pins can be seen in many fashion clothes designs, but once used inappropriately, it will make the overall clothing feel really strange. Fortunately, the metallic texture of the pin and the general silver color are exactly what Male Victorian Goth needs, but the use of this element is still a bold decision.
You can buy ready-made clothes, or you can prepare some pins by yourself, and fasten them on the coat casually and scatteredly as shown in the picture below. You can also fasten them evenly on the hem or cuffs of the clothes, which can provide a kind of both industrial and handmade feeling.
Male Victorian Goth Idea7: Rivet elements
Like the options above, you can also buy ready-made clothing, which I prefer. After all, compared with pins, rivets are much more difficult to DIY. Rivets also have the same characteristics as pins and are suitable for Gothic fashion style. However, most Victorian Goth will not use rivet elements, of course, except if it is used in a particularly novel and outstanding way.
Male Victorian Goth Idea8: Leather Boots
On the whole, leather boots should be the most suitable shoe for Male Victorian Goth. They have the elegance of leather products while retaining the heavy feel of boots. If you don’t want to go wrong with your outfit, choosing leather boots will be a very correct decision!
Male Victorian Goth Idea9: Makeup
Regarding makeup, I have talked about it in detail in my past articles. Although most of what I said before focused on girls, men’s makeup is pretty much the same.
Once again, the base makeup must be pale and clean. Do not overdo the makeup, which will make the makeup look messy. Dark circles must be highlighted, but the Male Victorian Goth style pays more attention to the feeling of nobility and emphasizes vulnerability rather than fierceness.
