Intro
We have talked about goth jeans in the previous article, and today we are going to talk about goth shorts. Goth jeans have their unique style and details, of course goth shorts are the same.
If you don’t know what goth shorts look like, or are curious about how to match your goth shorts, let’s take a look.
Rivet Goth Shorts
Needless to say, a good partner of punk gothic style: rivet elements. The compatibility between rivets and Gothic style can be seen from Gothic churches. Rivets are almost the epitome of the slender spire of Gothic churches, with the same sharpness and coldness.
Rivets are generally divided into blunt rivets and sharp rivets. Sharp rivets are dangerous, so remember to choose according to your needs. If you want to remove the rivets, remember to find a vice. There is usually a metal buckle on the back of the pants. Use the vice to clamp the metal buckle and apply force, and the rivets will fall off. At this time, a small empty hole will be left in the pants. You can remove a few rivets and leave regular round holes. This is also quite interesting. Or, you can also use elements such as pins and chains to pass through the round hole to make it a completely new design. Goth style DIY does not stick to the form, it all depends on your heart, which is really interesting.
Garter goth shorts
Ta-da! The most unique type of goth shorts from my point of view!
Garter is a leg ring used to secure knee-high socks, and its history can be traced back to ancient Egypt. By the 16th century, the combination of knee socks and shorts became popular. In fact, there are still some men’s shirt clips (a kind of reverse garter) that also play a fixed role, but they are used to fix the shirt and prevent it from sliding.
However, with the development of the clothing industry, this kind of garter gradually only has a decorative role. Because it was popular among nobles in history, it has an elegant aristocratic atmosphere.
It also has a magical function, like a pocket that can be stuffed with things. I believe everyone has seen the sexy female agent who lifted up her skirt and took out a pistol from the garter.
The design of leg rings is sexy and powerful. They can be seen in many fashionable designs. They are simply chokers worn on the legs. The choker on the neck can directly attract attention, divert and enrich the focus of the upper body. garter is the same.
Garter cuts the color blocks vertically and combines them with shorts to divide the legs into more parts and make the legs look slimmer. And psychologically, there is a sense of taboo, which makes it even more fascinating.
Leg chain goth shorts
Or should I say, trouser chain? Pants chain can modify the shape of your legs to the greatest extent. Because we are talking about shorts here, sometimes the length of the leg chain may be longer than the length of the pants, so it looks more obvious. Not to mention those double-chain designs, which are like stacked jewelry and are at the forefront of fashion. Generally speaking, shorts are tighter, and staggered three-dimensional chains can create a three-dimensional effect.
Goth shorts usually have black base, so the metallic trouser chain stands out.
Lace-Up goth shorts
The lace-up design is generally used for shoes, and ballet shoes are the most popular style recently. The appropriate use of hollows, straps and pleated elements can produce extraordinary effects!
Victorian Gothic style is almost inseparable from lace elements, lace skirts, lace headbands, lace shirts, and of course lace goth shorts. This corset-like design wraps the legs with a tight sense of restraint, but exposes part of the skin through the interlaced lace straps that are not tight. It is the same as the principle of Garter we mentioned before, except that Garter It divides the area vertically, while the lace up design usually cuts it horizontally.
In addition, this design can also be used in many aspects of overall body wear, such as shirts with lace up necklines, etc.
Streamer goth shorts
Many of these goth shorts have streamers that are actually detachable, so you can choose to wear them or not. Many streamers also come with metal rings, like a belt design. The strap element can not only add three-dimensionality and agility to ordinary clothing, but also bring a looming visual effect. This design is also very common on overalls. The color of the streamer is not necessarily the same as the color of the pants. It may be a more vivid, bright, and conspicuous color.
Velvet goth shorts
When it comes to velvet fabrics, many people may think of tablecloths and curtains in gorgeous palaces…but of course there are also the velvet sportswear suits that were popular in the 2000s, and the velvet cake skirt dresses on the red carpet. Colorful velvet shorts, using outstanding color combinations to create high fashion.
The pure black velvet goth shorts can be said to be the most advanced color. If paired with dark patterns, it is simply a vampire family suit.
Detachable skirt goth shorts
Detachable, am I the only one who has always been attracted to this word? Detachable is gradually becoming a trend. It starts from deconstruction and satisfies people’s dual pursuit of fashion and practicality.
Skirts of this design are usually long skirts or gauze skirts, and only the back half is exposed. Most of the legs are exposed from the front. The superposition of lace and fabric creates a nice hollow effect. Pale skin is vaguely exposed under the hollow fabric clothing, which is one of the characteristics of Gothic style.
Flounces goth shorts
If you have seen tiered skirts, then you should also have a certain understanding of the effect of flounces goth shorts. Although flounces are usually associated with cuteness, in fact its biggest representative should be elegance and nobility, because pleats and large collars were more commonly used in aristocratic clothing in the past.
Then you know how perfect flounces goth shorts are for our Victorian Gothic style. Elegant and revealing the beauty of layers, the waist-cinching tailoring design outlines the slender and charming figure. Although the layered pleats look a bit bloated, they are very suitable for matching your other items, and sometimes you can even wear it as a pannier.
Fishing net goth shorts
In fact, fishing net is an item that can be paired with shorts, but there are also many shorts that come with fishnet stockings. Fishnet stockings combine women’s mystery and overall fashion sense. Shorts can be chosen in high-waisted styles, which can highlight women’s waistlines and add to the overall sexiness and wildness.
In addition, the fishing net element is one of the essential elements of punk goth. You can see them appearing in large numbers on almost all clothing items. In fact, you can also find that fishing net is a very thin strap, which is a variation of the lace up design we mentioned earlier. It not only divides the skin into two parts, but also divides it into many grids, creating a large attractive portion.
