The Evolution Of Goth Fashion
Goth fashion really came to light in the 1970's.

Goth Subculture:

People of goth subculture prefer to have everything in gothic style. Everything from dresses to accessories are available in this style. The credit goes to the punk rock bands that rose into prominence in the late ‘70s and the early ‘80’ which brought this subculture. This subculture is a mixture of horror and Victorian romanticism. The gothic architecture, gothic literature and gothic art of the Middle Ages influenced the gothic subculture. Mysterious fashion draws its inspiration from the aesthetic and rebellious punk rock bands.

Goth Fashion:

Goth fashion is dark, expressive, dramatic, bold, spooky and mysterious. The dresses are homogenous. Clothes are either black in colour or dark in colours. The makeup includes dark and smokey eyes, dark coloured lipsticks and pale skin. The hairstyle is either messy or tied in a bun. The hair is either dyed with black colour or is bleached and dyed with some other colour that is bold and vibrant. Body piercings, occult jewelleries and tattoos are the important elements of this fashion.
