Well...if you wonna look Gothic, theres alot of styles around. Punk Goth is the most commen these days. My style is an old style my dad showed me, The New Romantics. basicky, laice,netting,silk and fur (fake fur if you like and fake silk if you want) but i know know the girl side of The New Roamantic Style clouths......i'll ask my dad for you if you like what the guys might have worn.

You can not just become goth. YOu have to just be goth. I dress goth..or that is what you would call it. I dress it not because I want to but becasue it is just who I am. It is my fetish, my lifestyle..my taste..dress how you feel..if you feel you should wear leather pants and a pink shirt..go for it..dont wear what the stereotype tells you to..I dress how I dress because it is who I am..I follow no man but myself..and goths are not depressed whatsoever..just a morbid taste in life..Goths are freethinkers and over all really happy people

dude, i wear the black clothes and eyeliner but cant seen to find the base powder or lipstick. i dress like this because i want to break the mold and stand out. i also do this as self expression as well as write/ preform my own songs. dont let what ppl say to you get through, iv had so many people tell me in a freak or w/e. but i dont care this is who i am and if they dont like it they can blow it out their asses. i personally feel there are allot of clones shal we say in our schools, nobody wants to branch out and be different because they have fear of ridicule. i have a few close freinds but even they are starting to get freaked by my persona, but again i say if they cant accept you for who you are then they arent true friends.

Goth=not depressed but,calm about life.
and black eye liner,white face powder black clothing and other clothing such as silk,vinyl,leather,and fishnet and mesh,and the sorts.oh and lipstick-red black purple doesnt really matter
and hair could be blckred,green,purple,dark blue or just all black.
Boots the higher the platforms the better,dont be afraid to cross-dress either,if your small
Example of Goth music-.. Cradle of Filth.Chains and.. I think thats it,oh Cradle of Filth and Marilyn Manson Are good examples of gothic clothing

Well, u sound like a poser, cuz u can't just choose 2 b goth, nd most of u ppl r posers as well, goth is not just about wearin all black nd wearin makeup (the makeup thing is just fruity) its a religion, nd only a few, I mean very few ppl actually follow the religion. Heck, u can wear nething as long as u follow the religion, but u cnt just label urself as goth, unless u truly believe n it. Nd ur either feelin depressed, or just tryin 2 get attention, nd I think its about attention. But, u dnt have 2 b gothic 2 express it, just express it thru ur music, but u wudve known u cud do that if u were rlly n a band. Sum ppl wear black, myself as well, but I dnt think I'm goth, or nething, I just think that black is a meaning 4 depression nd heartfelt, even death, nd wen I wear it, I feel invisible, nd I like it wen no one notices me, cuz I rlly rlly hate attention, but it dnt help cuz ppl, 4 sum reason, like talkin 2 me, but u shudnt just start wearin it. U wudve had 2 known uve felt that way 4 a long time, b4 u choose 2 dress dark the next day cuz ppl will def. think ur a poser. I've dressed like this 4 as long as I can remember, but Ive always felt depressed nd knew no one cud ever change me. I'm a middle child, so of course I feel like an outcast. I dnt wear dark makeup cuz it looks like u haven't had sleep n days or a racoon. I just wear regular makeup like a thin line of eyeliner, foundation, lip gloss, nd eyeshadow (not black cuz it looks stoopid) nd I dnt like 2 look like I just rose from a grave or nething. But if this is wat u rlly wnt, then u can b prepared 2 b made fun of cuz ur on ur way 2 poser city my friend. I'm not a poser, cuz I didn't choose 2 just dress like this out of the blue, I've always liked wearin darker colors, but do watever, cuz i dnt no u, wud b embarassed if I did, nd I rlly dnt care wat u do, just wnted 2 reply cuz I was bored nd thought ur post was rlly pathetic, cuz u sound rlly lame, nd ur other questions were lame as well. Most of em were about a girl but u gotta face it, she dnt like u nd probly never will, cuz she nos ur a poser. Y dnt u just grow up nd get a life u wanna-be, gothic poser.

this is the advice i was givin

Every goth is different, and going goth for the wrong reasons (i.e. your friends do it, it is all the rage, etc.) will get you serious trouble. Just dress the way you feel like dressing and look how you want. Don't copy other people, just be true to yourself. I know this sounds like BS, but it is coming from someone in the same predicament. To start dye your hir black, dark purple, or some weird color. Wear black lipstick and eyeliner and nail polish. Yes, this is coming from a guy, but I swear I'm straight. Anyways, go to hot topic, that will give you an idea for clothes, and you should probably love some sort of rock, preferably not new metal, and go lightly on glam metal too!

and

First off gothic is a lifestyle. Second if you want to dress as a goth go to hottopic.com. It really depends. There are the chain pants and bvand shirt stuff. But then there are people you take on a more victorian gothic appearance like the men wear the suits like in vampire movies and the women wear the dresses. It just all depends but again it isn't just clothing it is a lifestyle.

hopes this helps

First of all Goth isn't a style its not how you dress it's whats on the inside,just because you want to dress goth doesn't mean your goth.You can dress goth and be goth.Like ilivein100acrewoods_09 said it's a religion and some people seem to not think that but truely a real goth would know that or just a super smart person.Sue90 ur really efensive you know that.Some people that are depressed do go see counselers but they still end up being depressed so yea..I;m sorry but if you have to ask how to dress then omfg you totally DO NOT NEED TO!! Goth is NOT a style many people tend to forget that !! goths NOT freakin style!! find something you like that'd make YOU happy don't try to be or dress like somthing your not..i think ur fine the way you are.I totaly HATE how people think goths are supose to be scary,bloody, dressed in black and chains,black eyeliner and other stuff. I'd like to see someone call their mom a goth cause she has black hair or wears black eyeliner.I'm goth and im not at all scary and i hate spiders,i do admit thou i dress in pants with chains but only cuz there comfy! =) My boyfriend even says im to cute and nice and cuddley to be goth.Goth doesn't mean sad,bloody,scary,evil,ugly,mean,or depressed DO NOT dress goth cuz if you do ur a freakin poser and i'll hate you and lots of other people will probally too so please just dont dress goth u should just think up happy stuff and try to be opptimistic ok? then you might feel better!! wish u very much good lucks! also dressing goth may hurt you trust me and my friends we thought if u were goth you had to act and dress goth so we did and we got kicked outa school, people would throw stuff at us and it really truly made us all depressed so think about that..

Well, for starters, I know this may sound like a broken record, but you probably need to talk to someone about your depression.

I understand that you want your clothes to reflect the way you feel on the inside, but goths aren't really depressed all the time. I have some gothic friends but really they just hate how mainstream everything is; they are individuals. Goth is a trend here lately and if you really want to show how you feel by the way you dress, maybe you should single out a few feelings you've been having and think about that when shopping.

But, if you are trying to send the message that you don't want to be messed around with, by all means, goth is a great look for you.
