Okay, so, “sexy gothic fashion,” right? I’ve been seeing this trend everywhere and, honestly, I was kinda intimidated. But, you know, gotta try new things! So, I decided to dive in and document my whole, slightly clumsy, journey.
Getting Started (aka Total Confusion)
First, I spent like, an hour just scrolling through pictures online. I mean, there’s so much variation! Some of it is super intense, like full-on Victorian mourning attire, and some is more… subtle? I guess? Like, a black lace top with jeans. I needed a starting point, something I could actually wear.
The Baby Steps
I decided to start small. No corsets or giant skirts yet. I already had a few things in my closet that I figured could work:
- A black, flowy top – It’s got a bit of a romantic vibe, so I thought it was a good base.
- Black skinny jeans – Gotta have the basics, right?
- Some chunky black boots – These definitely added a bit of an edge.
I put these on and… it was okay. Definitely not “gothic” yet, but it was a start, I looked in the mirror, it is not gothic style at all.
Adding Some Spice
So, I needed to amp it up. I went to a few local shops. I looked to find something that would fit.I found:
- A black lace choker.
- A silver ring with a dark, kinda spooky-looking stone.
These little details made a surprisingly big difference! The choker, especially, gave it that gothic touch I was looking for.
Makeup and Hair!
Now, I’m no makeup expert, but I figured darker makeup was the way to go.I tried:
- Dark red lipstick – I went for a deep, almost-black shade of red.
- Smokey eye – Okay, this was harder than it looked. I ended up watching a couple of tutorials online. It wasn’t perfect, but it was definitely smokey!
For my hair, I just kinda messed it up a bit. I have naturally wavy hair, so I just added some texturizing spray and let it do its thing. The goal was “effortlessly messy,” but I think I mostly just achieved “messy.” close enough.
The Final Look (and Verdict)
Putting it all together, I was actually pretty happy with how it turned out! It wasn’t super over-the-top, but it definitely had that sexy gothic vibe. I felt… powerful, I guess? It was definitely a confidence boost.
Would I wear this every day? Probably not. But for a night out, or a special occasion? Absolutely! It was fun to step outside my comfort zone and try something new. And hey, I learned how to do a smokey eye (sort of). So, that’s a win!
Next Time,I think i will try find a dress,it might look better and fit the style.
