Gothic Clothing

What is Gothic Fashion?

Gothic fashion appears thanks to the gothic movement itself. This counterculture movement has drawn from many fields and has been deeply inspired by them. Appeared in the wake of the punk and new wave movements, dates from the end of the 70s. After the creation of the gothic subculture, time continues to march on and the fans are always more abundant. It then takes a phenomenal extent, until it separates from the punk movement and becomes independent in 1983.

Gothic style fashion founds its way through the cultural and artistic universe. Literature is an example of the gothic novel, the precursor of the noir novel. Cinema has also influenced it with films and scenes referring to the supernatural, to horror, to the unusual, or to the monster. Of course, we also find singers and bands from the '70s dressed in black, with frizzy hair and make-up such as The Cure and their batcave look. They bring a dark, nostalgic side to their sounds and mix the urgency of punk with a strong theatricality.

As you may have noticed, Gothic look fashion and its movement are based on different aspects. Characterized by romanticism, the infatuation of history and the time, it refers to the darkness, the melancholy, and the fantastic. It knew how to draw here and there to charm many people and then extend its scope. All this to transform itself into a unique and contentious movement, animated by an exceptional community.

Gothic Aesthetic Clothing

When we ask people why they wear Gothic Aesthetic Clothing, the unanimous answer we receive is that they want to be part of something, a group, a community. To share your ideas with a group of people like you. Not to be alone in your corner, or worse: surrounded by people who don't understand why you have this or that style of dress or this or that way of thinking.

Just as in any other group, people who dress in aesthetic goth clothes to come together and share their views on the world and society. We are social animals, and it is in our nature to gather and socialize with like-minded people. Being in a group also allows us to feel superior because the addition of our personalities creates that identity-making us a powerful group. And not being alone, but surrounded by like-minded people is one of the easiest ways to be happy.

In this quest to join a community group, there is also the fact that the gothic movement is extremely rich. There is more to it than just a symbol or wearing a particular piece of clothing. There are even different ways for a person to join our counterculture.

Some come because of the music, some because they are attracted by the ideas about life and death, some simply because they like how fashion Goth aesthetic outfits are. And this is what makes our subculture so rich. There are so many doors of entry! The reality is that, like everyone else, Goths came to join the movement because they found something that resonated with them and identified with it.
