Gothic costumes reflect this turbulent cosmos and speak their own special message about all those creepy things that used to live only in our nightmares. There are things to consider when making gothic costumes in order to make them effective.
Here are a few tips to achieve the perfect gothic look. Whether you dig through your closet to piece together the perfect costume, or if you head to the store and select an off the rack costume, these are essential elements:
• Think black, black, black
There is no other color that exists when it comes to creating gothic costumes. Check your closet for capes, gloves, shoes, sweaters, hats, socks shawls; anything that might work. Black make-up is a must as well, both for men and women. Buy some cheap eyeliner and the darkest, dreariest lipstick you can find. You can implement color with very subtle accents if you REALLY want to. The only color we recommend is contrasting with a deep burgundy.
• Pick a specific character
In order for gothic costumes to be most effective, the end result should look like something recognizable. You may want to pick out a specific serial killer, character from a movie or even a gothic rock star. It doesn’t always have to be a well-known person per se, but perhaps selecting a specific theme such as: a Gothic nurse, witch, French maid, priest, stripper (you get the picture). Allow your dark imagination to flow to select the perfect style for you.
• Get and organize your gothic clothing and make-up
For women, a black dress will serve as an effective base for the costume and for men, any black suit or black pants and a black shirt will do as the foundation for gothic costumes. Many of you may already have these items in your closet so this would be an inexpensive costume for you!
• Paint your face and get dressed (not necessarily in that order)
Think big eyes and dark lips and you got it. If you want some extra color, add deep purple or very dark blue. You can go for black lips but be warned that other partygoers may try to resuscitate you (or let you die depending on the party). Slick down your hair with baby oil.
• Going with a date?
Goth styles make for great couples costume ideas! Let your dark creativity to flow to decide on which goth theme you both like best. The good news? If you get mad at each other throughout the night, no one else will know. They will just assume you're deep in your goth character!
