The Gothic style is based on dark garments (especially black), combining leather, lace, velvet, and details such as studs and corseting. It often draws inspiration from Victorian, Romantic, or even medieval aesthetics, creating a mysterious and dramatic image.
Victorian Gothic fashion fuses the elegance and style of nineteenth-century styles (corsets, long, flowing skirts, lace shirts) with the dark palette and accessories of Gothic. The result is a sophisticated and theatrical look, enhancing the silhouette and creating a somber atmosphere.
Black symbolizes the hidden, the profound, and sometimes rebellion against the dominant culture. It also enhances the details of clothing (lace, textures), giving a sense of collective identity, individuality, and a unified aesthetic.
Among the substyles are: classic goth (post-punk and new wave), Victorian goth (clothing inspired by the 19th century), industrial or cybergoth (a blend of futurism and electronic music), romantigoth (romantic and baroque elements), and pastel goth (a fusion of light and tender colors).
