Cyber Goth- Robotic style. Keen on technology. Indulges in careful use of colour
- Glitter Goth
- Keen on body sparkle and glitzy make-up. Wears brighter colours
- Punk-Goth
- The original .. Think Joy Division, and Siouxsie. Doomy and nihilistic
- Perky Goth
- Playful Goth. More upbeat and cheeky in style
- New Romantic Goth
- 'New romantic' tendencies. More elaborate in style and dress. White and black abound
- Vampy Goth
- Think Vampira, bats and black cats. Black lace, white make-up. 19th century gothic horror
- Crusty Goth
- Hippy tendencies. Matted hair. Tendency to be over 40 years old
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
 | | Gothic horror show | Pick fabrics like velvet, silk, wool, vinyl, and leather.
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.

I do indeed. I couldn't pull off short hair, I'd love to just chop it off and have a close crop with a long swooping fringe. Darned jawline. | |

I'm probably perky or punk.
A golden energy
Was rising out of my head
I shed my evil skin
And found myself again
I was wrong, I don't mind
The impossible seems possible
This time I'm an electric wire
If the sun can radiate then so can I

i'm not responsible for your lack of ponces... i can't even help the staggering amounts in my area, since its illegal to poach them and feed them to kittens.
