In order to be comfortable as a goth during summers, you must choose light and soft fabric. We suggest you to be selective with your accessories and only put those items on that can hold up well in the heat. Protect yourself from the heat of sun using a parasol or wearing a retro style hat.
Choose appropriate fabric & fit
1. Pick breathable fabric
For womens gothic clothing for even for men’s go with materials made of natural fibre like cotton. It helps in circulating more air and lowering the temperature of your skin. Avoid fabric like nylon as it is heavy and can lead to overheating.
2. Choose intimates-inspired pieces
Goth fashion is mostly about layering. And during summers your layers must be light & airy. Go for romper-style outfits or slip dresses.
3. Go with loose fitting garments
Go with outfits that can skim your skin rather than clinging it or you may also mix-match loose and tight pieces. This will let the air circulate and will lessen the chances of showing stains. Loose garments will also prevent chafing.
4. Try off-beat prints
Instead of white palette and basic black try tropical prints that incorporate white and black, but with a touch of red and yellow. Straight edge designs or swirls are also unique and eye-catching.
5. Experiment with some fringe
If you overdo this, it can be a bit much. Hence stick with one piece that has a complimentary amount of fringe. Fringe can be used to even lighten or darken up an attire.
6. Look for a unique bathing suit
Find a stunning & unique bathing suit. You may browse online and look at speciality clothing stores for best options.
Choose heat-resisting accessories
1. Minimize accessories
Choose one bracelet that appeals you most instead of wearing multiple pieces. Same goes with rings and neck pieces. The more the items, the more will sweat. Also avoid heavy accessories like gloves and scarves.
2. Experiment with handkerchiefs and fans
A handkerchief can be easily placed in the pocket of your pants or shirts and you can use it to wipe away any accumulating sweat. And a metal folding fan can be easily concealed and pulled out when you feel hot. You can also match both the fan and handkerchief with your alternative dresses.
3. Incorporate a pair of sheer stocking
Go for stockings that are very light in weight. You may choose some textured prints like feathered lace or something simpler like single calf line.
4. Go for breathable shoes
Instead of combat boots that are often preferred for goth look, go for thin, dark loafers or platform sandals as in summer boots are likely to suffocate your feet and can give you painful blisters. You may also go with ballet flats.
5. Wear large sunglasses
Besides protecting your eyes with large sunglasses you can express your style too. Go for the ones that give a funkier vibe like Ouija pattern on rim or a round shaped one with coloured lenses.
