World Goth Day comes but once a year and when it does it makes sense to pay tribute to the gothic’s influence on modern culture. These 50 gothic products were all inspired by the dark vampiric atmosphere of gothic literature, films and paintings.
Any of these products will do to celebrate World Goth Day, although they may not be very spring-like. You can drink wine out of a creepily cadaverous chalice if skulls are your thing, or dance around to some vindictive gothic music videos. To help you dress the part there is gothic metallic couture to help you achieve that dark seductive look. These ensembles can be topped off with some undead hair accessories and maybe even a chic skeletal clutch.
While gothic culture may seem niche it continues to influence pop culture in every way. So delve into the darkness, grab a skull-patterned top, spiked accessories and some red wine and have a happy World Goth Day.
