New Year at The Gothic Shop

With winter blues well under way, it's time to focus our attention on revamping our closets! Out with the old and in with the new is a great way to start the year! We have chosen a few key items to beat the dull days during January.

Our first choice has got to be this Medea Red Lined Coat, its stylish high-low hemline shows off a noble red lining, corseted lace back and pointed shoulders to give you a really polished look this winter. In the image below we have teamed it with the Armor Black Mini Dress, Bat wing purse and Bella ring.



If you are looking for everyday casual but snuggly then the Carmenta Hoody is just for you, mix and match with different tops and leggings for all day comfort . We combined the hoody with a fab off the shoulder velvet top, acid style leggings and vagabond bag.




Lastly if you like long flowing layers then the O-ring Chiffon Skirt is a great addition, work it with a splash of colour. Featured below are the Pentacle earrings, Punk Star top and Panic Manic Purple Gloss.

5 Handbags Every Goth Needs!

Having a few awesome handbags is definitely a great fashion investment. We have picked out our top 5 must have bags this season.

The ultra stylish Handcuff bag by Banned is spacious and practical.  Never loose your keys again with several internal pockets while the outside is detailed with silver studs, buckle straps over faux leather side pockets, a zipped compartment at the front and mini handcuffs.

This Restyle Messenger  briefcase bag is slick and simple with 3 large pockets and elegant swing hook fastenings.  Sling it over your shoulder and you are ready to go. 

If you are looking for something a little more quirky and cute then the Grey cotton bag by Banned features black cats, lilac broken mirrors and unlucky 13s. Use the short handles to carry or detachable shoulder strap. 

An all time favourite has got to be the Red Ivy Handbag with its structured shape and chic red ivy detail on black sateen. While the asymetrical flap with scalloped edges shaped in the form of a bat wing embraces gothic trends. 

Lastly if you are after an evening purse then the Black Velvet and Bows Purse by Sinister is what you need. This magnificent black velvet and taffeta evening bag is trimmed with mesh, lace and black velvet bows. The handbag is fully lined with soft satin and has a metal purse-type opening and antiqued metal handle

We have a great collection of handbags at The Gothic Shop, so find something to suit your style.

Casual Gothic Wear for Halloween

Heading out for a big night or just chilling with friends this Halloween, we usually begin October with inspirational costume ideas, but end up scrapping them due to lack of time, work or family taking priority.  So we have put together a simple yet comfortable outfit that you can put on in less than a minute.

If you dare to bare your midriff we have the cool Black skull 'n crossbone Long Sleeve  net top over red lining or My Beautiful Maddness Punk Rave Top with black and grey skull print and off the shoulder buckle straps in faux leather.

Team either with a pair of black leggings ,  we chose the ManTrap Gothic Leggings worn with a pair of stylish combat boots. While accessorizing with a gorgeous Brocade Stud Handbag and perhaps even a Cherryloco Choker.

Finish your look by adding Stargazer's Semi Permanent Tattoo Pen with these Red Devil coloured contact lenses,  guaranteed to get you noticed and they can be worn for up to 8 hours at a time.
