    1. Witchy Vibes: Conjuring a Gothic Fantasy

    Witchy Outfits, laced black dress

    Embrace your inner witchy vampire queen with a captivating blend of enchantment and elegance, where fashion becomes a spellbinding expression of the mystical.

    The witchy style embraces sumptuous fabrics like velvet and lace, often paired with corsets and statement belts to create an equally otherworldly and fiercely chic outfit. Achieving a Witchy style involves embracing enchanting, mystical elements in your wardrobe.

     

    Here are tips to help you achieve a Witchy aesthetic:

     

    • Drape yourself in sumptuous velvet and lace. Opt for flowing and ethereal fabrics like velvet, lace, and chiffon. Long skirts, flowing dresses, and billowy sleeves give a witchy and mystical vibe. 
    • Embrace a dark colour palette with deep hues such as black, dark green, burgundy, and navy. These colours evoke a sense of mystery and magic, essential for a witchy style.
    • Incorporate statement accessories to enhance the witchy feel. Think wide-brimmed hats, stompy boots, and layered necklaces. Adorn yourself with symbols like moons, stars, or pentagrams for an extra magical touch.
    • Cinch your waist and experiment with layering and textures, with a corset or a statement belt to add depth to your outfits. Combine different fabrics and materials, like wearing a lace shawl over a velvet dress or adding a textured belt to define your waist.
    •  Integrate mystical patterns into your wardrobe, such as celestial prints, stars, moons, or occult symbols. These elements reinforce the magical aura of your witchy style. Layer on necklaces with multiple necklaces and put a ring on every finger.
    • Embrace dark and magical makeup with bold eyeliner, dark eyeshadows, and deep lip colours. Consider adding mystical elements like a crescent moon or star-shaped makeup for an extra touch of enchantment.

     

    @thewickedlady's witchy style is the epitome of gothic elegance, transporting you to an ancient castle where ghosts are dinner party guests. Infiltrate the ancient castle with our Witches Sabbath Collection and Dracula's Daughter Collection

    Remember, Witchy style is about expressing your mystical and magical side, so feel free to personalise your look with elements that resonate with your own sense of enchantment and wonder. Unleash your dark, romantic and magical side!

    • Stick to a monochromatic colour palette dominated by blacks, whites, and greys. 
    • Combine a white top with black bottoms for an effortlessly chic vibe, and experiment with a split down-the-middle look.
    • Integrate graphic designs into your wardrobe to infuse a streetwear vibe. Explore clothing with bold prints, occult symbols, or abstract graphics that add an edge to your overall look. Think graphic tees, hoodies, or leggings.
    • Infuse occult symbols for that distinct Nu Goth charm. Incorporate items like pentagram jewellery, harnesses, occult symbols, or statement chokers to add a touch of mystique to your ensemble.
    • Opt for modern silhouettes that blend traditional goth elements with contemporary cuts. This could include asymmetrical hems, oversized hoodies, platform sneakers, or chunky boots, giving your look a fresh and updated feel.

    • Choose accessories that strike a balance between gothic and professional. Elegant gothic-inspired jewellery, such as dark metal earrings or statement rings, can add a touch of an edge without being too overpowering.
    • Complete the ensemble with killer shoes. Pair your outfits with sophisticated footwear such as sleek ankle boots, classic heels, or loafers in dark colours.
    • choose well-tailored pieces that provide structure to your silhouette. Blazers, structured jackets, and well-fitted dresses contribute to a professional appearance while maintaining a hint of gothic elegance. 

     

    Note: Choose a dark and refined makeup palette that complements your professional attire. Neutral eyeshadows, well-defined eyeliner, and deep lip colours can add a touch of gothic sophistication without being too bold for the workplace.

    Remember, the Corporate Goth style is about blending gothic elements seamlessly into a professional environment. These tips aim to help you achieve a style that is both polished and true to your ghoulish gothic aesthetic. Power, confidence, and a touch of gothic allure. – The ultimate combination!

    Pastel Goth Aesthetic | KILLSTAR

    Pastel Goth is a delightful fusion where the dark allure of traditional goth, meets the whimsical charm of pastel hues. Pastel goth is a captivating style that blends edgy elements with soft, dreamy colours, creating a unique and visually stunning fashion statement. 

    Escape the sea of black with pastel goth vibes inspired by @v.zozimo. Opt for soft pastel shades like lavender, mint, baby pink, or powder blue with our Pastel Dream Collection. These hues are the cornerstone of the pastel goth style.

     

    Here are tips to achieve the Pastel Goth look:

     

    • Pair your pastels with traditional gothic pieces. For example, combine a pastel sweater with a black leather jacket or a pastel dress with dark boots. 
    • Experiment with layering to add depth to your outfit. Combine pastel tops with fishnet stockings, or layer a pastel skirt over black leggings.
    • Choose accessories that strike a balance between cute and edgy. Think chokers, spiked bracelets, and studded belts in pastel shades. 
    • Consider pastel-colored hair to complete the look. Soft pinks, lilacs, or mint green can add an extra touch of whimsy.
    • Incorporate iconic pastel goth patterns like crosses, moons, stars, or even cute animals. These can be featured on clothing items and accessories.
    • Play with pastel-hued makeup, including eyeshadows, lipsticks, and nail polishes. Experiment with subtle, ethereal looks that complement your outfit.

    • Embrace classic vintage silhouettes for your clothing. Think high-waisted pencil skirts, fitted dresses, or A-line skirts that capture the retro essence of rockabilly fashion.
    • Accessorise with rockabilly-inspired accessories to enhance the retro feel. Consider adding polka-dot headbands, retro sunglasses, or even a floral hairpiece. Add a hint of gothic rebellion to your ensemble.
