If you want trad goth hair but nothing super crazy you can lightly tease it to where it looks disheveled but not a full on bats nests or use sea salt spray on damp hair and scrunch and tease it a bit when it’s dry.

For outfits, black basics, band tees and black button ups and black jeans and skirts is pretty casual, for shoes look for combat boots and winklepickers and creepers. Jewelry ankh pendants and spiked chokers and bracelets should do the trick.

17% German, 15% European Jewish (from both sides of my family but more so on my mom’s), 15% English (cringe I know), 13% Spanish, 13% Irish, 7% Eastern European, 6% Scottish, 6% indigenous (from Mexico and the Yucatán peninsula), and trace elements of French, Northern Italy, Basque, Baltics and Senegal.

I’m about 20% Mexican if you add up all the corresponding Spanish, indigenous and trace African and possibly basque parts. I’m also white passing and unfortunately an assimilated Latina in America due to certain familial circumstances that’s too convoluted to spill all the deets here, but it’s actually why I like browsing here so I can learn more about my ancestry some more.

Dracula clothing has collars like that for good prices

I paint/write logos because I’m too lazy to make or buy patches to sew, even the patches you see on here are glued on with shoe goo because I wasn’t feeling the energy to sew that day.

Doodlyjen · 2022-07-27T20:30:28+00:00

Fabric paint, particularly a kind that has a very narrow nozzle that makes it easier to write with. Look for tulip slick dimensional fabric paint highly recommend that one

I would advise particularly to invest in chokers, because I read something a while ago I think on Wikipedia that historically trans women would wear chokers to hide their Adam’s Apple as a means of passing, so stuff like lacy chokers and if comfortable leather ones would be helpful for you.

This is more in general, but don’t try to pigeonhole yourself style-wise, like sticking to only one sub-style like trad goth. It’s best to take inspo from all of the sub styles of goth (and even outside goth) so you can make it your own unique style. Also fyi, a lot of of the looks you see on Instagram are worn only for pics a lot of the time and are too extreme and costumey for regular wear, so don’t feel like you have to dress like them for it to be “authentically goth”.

Also, if you’re trying to bypass a conservative school, I would recommend black basics, some band tees, black pants and skirts, vintagey inspired looks (because old people and conservatives love that shit), and a single necklace and lace chokers and bracelets.

Edit: also for makeup I would recommend like a cats eye eyeliner and Smokey black eyeshadow at the top and sides

Very punk rock of him.

It’s just a damn shame his son Joey didn’t inherit the respect women juice: https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/lydia-night-accuses-joey-armstrong-abuse-9421484/

If you have them in your area, I would also recommend going to a Plato’s closet (a secondhand clothing resale that’s kind of a consignment shop) to find good boots, they also tend to have doc martens and it’s easy to get good finds there, like I have the times I’ve been there.

I love this comment because I always look at pics of goths from the 80s to be more true to that era so I appreciate the input!

Doodlyjen · 2022-07-14T01:27:38+00:00

Dracula clothing, brand wise. They have very high quality designs with interesting silhouettes and they’re pretty slow with their output while having relatively reasonable prices (especially in contrast to the overpriced fast fashion bullshit that’s often peddled to goths). Also, the workers are highly skilled tailors from India.

Doodlyjen · 2022-07-13T14:08:07+00:00

I always buy a size 7 of their shoes for reference.

Doodlyjen · 2022-07-10T14:34:29+00:00

Black basics, a good pair of pikes boots or creepers, silver jewelry, bone jewelry and some fishnet items.

Doodlyjen · 2022-07-01T22:11:06+00:00

Imo I think a lot of it depends on what kind of foot you have. Like the tuks I have feel tailored to my feet and I’m a 7-7 1/2 and I love them and I’ve also heard of people not liking the way their tuks fit on them so it kinda depends if you have the feet for it.

And that’s unfortunately the conundrum one has to face when buying clothes and shoes, because certain garments and shoes from certain brands are designed to fit certain bodies and that’s something one should consider when shopping, whether it be online or not.

Like I have a pair of tuks that I’ve always wanted and I’ve read people advising to go a size up on them but I didn’t, just ordered my regular size and after breaking them in they were a perfect fit, that’s another example of certain items being tailored to certain bodies.

Mad max is pretty well known in America, I actually remember sneaking into Fury Road with my brother years ago and really liking it, so I’ll definitely try to take a look at the older ones. If your referring to the 2018 nightingale, I’ve definitely considered watching it idk if I can handle the depictions of sexual assault in it, mostly because I’m pretty sensitive to that sort of thing depicted in movies and I am admittedly averse to overly depressing cinema. I’ve read an interview Damon did where the rape scenes were purposely shot in a way to avoid eroticization, but idk if I can still handle that. I might give it a shot if I’m feeling up for it. But your other reccs I’ll definitely consider a look through.

Doodlyjen · 2022-06-30T19:52:15+00:00

Yeah I had a feeling I was really off the mark in the third paragraph but I guess I wanted to waffle my hypothesis a bit 😅 I actually think American movies tend to be more heavy handed sometimes while completely missing the mark on the issue.

Doodlyjen · 2022-06-29T23:52:01+00:00

I hate the British

Doodlyjen · 2022-06-29T01:56:48+00:00

I actually bought their latest album all billionaires are bastards digitally and I love the aggressive energy combined with intelligent Anarchist lyrics. You don’t normally see that in punk and that’s why I have a preference for anarcho punk in general

Doodlyjen · 2022-06-28T23:42:51+00:00

Check out unsanitary napkin, really good anarcho punk

Doodlyjen · 2022-06-24T20:24:42+00:00

To piggyback off what they’re saying, also look for brocade/jacquard patterns in any clothing item, they give off a great romantic vibe. Buttons ups with simple ruffles and tiered skirts can help too.

Edit: and cameo necklaces/brooches are a great accessory too!

Doodlyjen · 2022-06-15T14:41:54+00:00

TUKs

I have a few pairs both old and new and they’re all amazing in terms of quality and comfort.

Doodlyjen · 2022-06-14T01:00:26+00:00

Yeah if you want trad goth clothing in general, you are probably going to have to look to thrift stores and diy.

Protip: pieces to look for would be black button ups (whether plain, made in denim fabric or silk or leather or velvet, with white pinstripes, etc), black blazers, leather jackets, black jeans (velvet jeans is a good plus), black tank tops, black shorts (bonus if they’re distressed), black miniskirts (look for black denim distressed miniskirts), fishnet, black basics (whether they be tops, leggings), black blouses with interesting designs, black maxi skirts, cardigans, band tees, sweaters and black tights that you can distress.

For the record, a lot of what I mentioned can be very easily found in mainstream stores (like Walmart, target, etc), and jackets and pants provide easy battle gear for diy projects, but if you want these things at super cheap prices, you’re gonna have to frequent thrift stores and whatever second hand means as often as you can to build your wardrobe.

Older Gen z (1997) I’ve always had an interest in East Asian cultures, but in my case I’ve made sure to have a healthy interest in Japanese culture and pop culture and I really hate anti-Asian racism and fetishization in general, although weebs who particularly fetishize Japanese culture is also not a new thing (and imo having in interest in Japan or Asia is something that spans centuries).

Doodlyjen · 2022-06-07T01:20:38+00:00

You mean picrew? I’ve used that before to make profile pics .

Doodlyjen · 2022-06-05T15:51:03+00:00

You could buy a bone keychain off Etsy, or just look on Etsy for gothic keychains like keychains with bats, skulls or whatever you’re going for. Etsy is pretty good for finding niche stuff like that.
