The basic Goth wardrobe consists mainly of black but it can include splashes of other colours including white, red, burgundy, purple and cobalt blue.

Here's our guide to creating the Goth look. First of all, you'll need to go on a shopping spree to assemble the following essentials...

black jeans, black coat, leather or vinyl jacket or trenchcoat, long black skirt, laced-up trousers, pointy-toed boots with buckles and Doc Martens, black t-shirt, and dark shades
long-sleeved white shirt, oversized dress shirt, lace-up shirt or ruffle blouse

Retro and thrift shops are a good starting point.

Think Vampira, Nine Inch Nails and Hammer horror with a touch of Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Goths love jewellery with crucifixes, skulls, and bats. Also look out for studded necklaces, anklets and lavish costume jewellery.

Go Goth

Hair dye is a must for the committed Goth. Black and bleached blond dyed hair are most popular but scarlet red, dark burgundy, white and silver are becoming more commonplace.

Make-up is another essential even for boys. Some Goths go for white foundation and powder. Others favour using foundation a shade lighter than their normal skin tone.

As for the rest of the look, go for dramatic black, red and purple eyeliners, charcoal eye powder and smokey dark lipsticks.

Finally, don't forget to use your imagination on your nails and body jewellery.

Pick your style and your look, and you're now ready to join the Goth crowd for a night out on the dark side of the toon.
