Sheer seduction
Equal parts edgy, sensual and reminiscent of old-world charm, lace and sheer accents are hallmarks of a gothic look. From HUISHAN ZHANG’s dramatic feathered gown to NEOUS’ lace-accented, day-to-night slingbacks, there’s a piece to suit every sartorial need.

Take a bow
Offering a touch of whimsy to an often monochromatic look (read: all-black), bows are an enduring element in goth style. No one does it better than celeb fave The Vampire’s Wife (founded and designed by Susie Cave) and Simone Rocha, whose current collection is a masterclass on various iterations of garments, handbags and jewelry.

Maxi moment
Nothing evokes gothic fashion better than floor-sweeping looks reminiscent of The Addams Family matriarch, Morticia. Do your best impression in Studio Amelia’s Occult maxi dress or opt for on-trend styles like Theory’s wool maxi skirt and By Malene Birger’s leather Sirrena coat.

Edgy jewelry
Gothic style demands attitude, and what better way to convey that than with some rock n’ roll inspired jewelry? Take your pick from Ara Vartanian’s sharp take on pearls and black diamonds, EÉRA’s hardware-inspired designs or Spinelli Kilcollin’s elevated take on layerable jewelry.
