Dark Side Of Gothic Fashion For Men
June 12, 2008
It is unisex, however a lot of men are not comfortable with the androgyny often found in Gothic fashion. But, gothic fashion is one place that men can wear makeup and flowing skirts without having their sexual preferences challenged. While, men have rather limited options in the regular world, gothic fashion allows them to push normal gender boundaries regarding the clothes they can wear. From frilly shirts, silk and velvet fabrics of choice and makeup, gothic fashion allows men to extend their imagination and willingness to try new styles.
Most people may find gothic fashion a tad silly, however, there is also a certain kind of beauty one finds in it. Extremely bold, it totters dangerously between being labelled bizarre or weird. Black rules Gothic fashion and the Goths seem to have their very own reasons behind choosing the colour black as the highlight of their fashion scene. Originating in the UK, Gothic fashion has found its way into many countries, especially those that share similar tastes in music and fashion. Fashion tastes of the Goth culture range from punk, medieval, including clothes worn in the Renaissance period, or those that are androgynous in cut and style.
Spiky hair, black nails, black eyeshadow and it couldn’t get more bizarre, as Gothic fashion has always been regarded as kind of strange. But, to those who follow it, it stands for freedom and sexual liberation, it is about making an individual statement, a ‘don’t care attitude’ about what the society thinks. And, it is about being liberal in one’s views about life in general.
Gothic fashion is also about wild hues, silhouettes focusing on one particular area of the body, such as, corsets or tight sleeves. The main idea is to attract attention! Flowing skirts, stylish sweeping dresses, hats and canes for men are all a part of Gothic fashion. All about expressing oneself regardless of your gender, dark eyeliner, tight jeans, chains and studs, powdered and white faces, black nails, pants with ripped edges all form a part of Gothic fashion. Tattoos are also used elaborately to make a style statement.
Allowing you to dress according to your mood, Gothic fashion all about style and attitude is truly unique in its own way. Of one thing you can be sure and that is this dramatic look is here to stay for quite some time.
