Gothic fashion is a clothing style worn by members of the goth subculture. A dark, sometimes morbid, fashion and style of dress,[1] typical gothic fashion includes black dyed hair and black clothes.[1] Both male and female goths can wear dark eyeliner, dark nail polish and lipstick (most often black), and dramatic makeup.[2] Styles are often borrowed from the Elizabethans and Victorians. BDSM imagery and paraphernalia are also common.[1] Gothic fashion is sometimes confused with heavy metal fashion and emo fashion.
