Gothic

Gothic fashion is a broad and nuanced clothing style, usually featuring dark colors and heavy contrast, and somewhat morbid motifs. Inspired largely by Gothic Victorian attire, modern gothic fashion also borrows heavily from punk styles, and in some cases Japanese subcultures among others.

Gothic fashion can be very costumey, dramatic and feminine, but it can just as easily be styled as androgynous or even quite masculine. What really ties the style together is a desire to reflect the dark and mysterious side of onesself.
