Another DIY I saw on Alice Lockhart's channel was to get white button down men's shirts from the thrift store and cut the cuffs and collar off to turn a black shirt into a Wednesday Addams shirt
@@Phyrra she actually did a Halloween look that was similar to the one look you did a few weeks/months back. She does the outfit close to the end. th-cam.com/video/cg5AjObRdXo/w-d-xo.html
Target has decent options for everyday goth staples - A New Day and Who What Wear have basic black tops and dresses (sometimes in lace or with bell sleeves etc) and Knox Rose has boho styles that sometimes come in black.
I also buy a lot of clothes at Amazon. I'm extremely petite so the smaller more Asian sizes work best. I also love the variety! I'd love to buy brand name when I can but most of the time, it's just not feasible. I like how practical your style is!
love the dogs. i am not really a goth music person, i like the oldie goldies, telling my age. i usually wear bright colors, or pastels. when i was younger i was into designer, classic clothes, now retired, i just wear sweats, shorts, etc. i dont like to shop clothes online, the sizes vary too much. smalls are way to big for me because clothes sizes have changed so much. i think your black dog wants to be the star of this video today. i like shopping tjmax, marshalls, etc.
I really cant explain my style. My tastes are eclectic. Many Goth Design Elements are beautiful 💜💚💜. I am really drawn to textiles that are composed of natural fabrics and dyes. As a child, in the 70's and 80's, polyester was a "miracle fabric." FAR from a miracle for me! My skin was miserable! Needless to say, its frustrating to shop, when we are in a resurgence, of man made textiles. Thanks so much for your helpful tips. I need all the resources I can get 💜.
I am soooo glad you love the leggings! My friend told Timmy to buy them for me for Christmas, and the rest is history! So perfect and versatile! Great video!
Thank you for this! I thrifted the perfect thin blazer to wear over band tees but didn't know how to go about making it look less formal or corporate. Nothing wrong with corporate just not what I'm going for lol. Think I'll try sewing some diy patches onto it or maybe painting directly on it.
No, this was not a shade video. People legit asked how to shop goth at regular stores, so I explained my process for how I shop (by looking for features I like).
@@Phyrra i understand, it was just funny if you looked at it at that angle. tbh clothing in general is too expensive for the quality. although shopping at regular stores is a great way to challenge oneself in creativity
I like some of the elements of goth since I like studs and swarovski but my wardrobe is more traditional. I think that your Amazon leggings and shorts would be perfect for everyone that likes leggings and shorts.
I'm pretty sure they were designed with running in mind. I'm just that woman who likes having pockets even with my leggings or shorts, so I co-opted them for gothic wear.
That's my back up emergency mic because my mic keeps crapping out. I've had 4 videos just randomly record without sound. I really need a new external mic that I just plug in and works.
My measurements are 38 27 37 right now and I ordered the size Small. The Size Small from ODODOS fits me comfortably (and you could see how it looked in the video). The Size chart lists size Small as US clothing 4 or 6, waist 26-27 and hips 36.5-37.5. So for me, from the correct seller, it was true to size. The 2 sellers I accidentally bought from that were not ODODOS did not fit, they were extra small (like for smaller than a size 0).
Oh for the leggings I have size Large (my oldest pairs) and size Medium. I really probably could fit into a Small in those as well, but when I last ordered some I didn't realize I'd gotten smaller again.
No problem! What I normally do when I order from Amazon (and maybe I should make a video about this) is 1. I use fakespot to check the link to make sure the listing has real reviews 2. I look through the real reviews until I find someone who is about my size (who mentions their weight / height / size / body shape) and see what they say about it. If there are no reviews, I often wing it. I rarely have to return but Amazon makes it easy most of the time.
Right? It's one of my many annoyances! Plus goth came out of the punk scene where there was a lot of DIY, so my husband says when he first got into goth it was way more about thrifting and DIY. So people who came into the scene later may not have had the skills to sew pieces together to make unique things. But being goth definitely influenced me wanting to support indie brands, indie designers, and have unique things that aren't just like everyone else!
@@Phyrra Exactly! I'm older than you, and we didn't have killstar back when my best friend put together amazing goth looks from thrift store finds and even I gothed up a bit from time to time with, of all things, a Christian Dior black lace bodysuit I found in a sale bin and a gorgeous black petticoat from Flip on Melrose. Those were the days, my friend...
goth is not fashion, not purely, so pls....If you don't like music, even when is like the best music ever, not sorry, try literature, art, movies, etc, etc...We are as a whole... a very deep sea, colored with waves of... art is the real thing for us. also: aliexpress, ebay, rosegal, guys local vintage shops! girrl, even in dollar tree you can find some good shit for your home, decoration and such, don't forget that we also have some vegan cruelty free makeup lines specially for those who loves the darkness, so, yea! have a nice day and THRIFT(you can buy white/color cloth and dye those fuckers) & DIY!
Did you watch the video? 00:25 seconds in - I tell people you don't have to shop at Killstar to be goth. 00:45 seconds in - I tell you how you know if you're goth by talking about goth music. 00:49 seconds in - I link to my gothic music favorites playlist I've discussed thrifting in other videos, this video was a specific request from my UK fans on how to shop for goth at normal department stores. My personal experience as a 40 year old who has been in the scene since i was 20 is I can shop goth anywhere and just DIY my outfit to make it look more goth OR make it more goth with the right accessories.

Target is great for everyday goth staples! I did a piece on them last year phyrra.net/gothic-fashion-at-target.html
This is where I usually shop for black basics and office goth wear!
Damn, Courtney, you're looking amazing - I can tell you've been working hard!
Thank you so much Rachel!

Both pets have Greek names!!! Well done!
I like that those shorts have a deep phone pocket!

Cool surprisingly a lot of nice selections at the store
Interesting music. I like some of it. Now I can see why they classify the Cure as Gothic. I love the Cure.
Same.
I wear a lot of black but spring colors are fun too!
You have such an effortless goth style. I love everything you wear!
Thanks Kristina!

You're looking fantastic and so happy here! And yay for Amazon!! I think there's nothing they don't sell on there.
Thank you so much!

They are so freaking awesome!
I never though much about goth shopping interesting information
Great tips for finding a Goth wardrobe!
Thank you!

You're welcome! Yeah I'd probably put a patch or something on it. You can find cute cheap patches on Wish, Etsy or Amazon.
Looks like my style as a high schooler
Great tips for anyone who wants a goth style!
Happy to help
You make goth look so fabulous
Thanks Kath!
I loved this. Great tips.
Thank you Madelyn!
I love this! I need to check out some of those indie shops. I have a few things from Killstar, but I only buy it when they have a sale going.
Yes, please give the indie fashion designers a look! I love Killstar but they're not very inclusive for my larger friends.
I can’t tell if shade or not, but also shade. This was actually hella funny. I’m a proud Walmart goth myself.

Pretty much everything I own is black - when it's in a laundry basket, I can't find anything because it all looks the same!
Lol! Lovin' all the black things!
I saw someone request this! Great tips - I love that there are so many more options these days!
I like some of the elements of goth since I like studs and swarovski but my wardrobe is more traditional. I think that your Amazon leggings and shorts would be perfect for everyone that likes leggings and shorts.
I agree!
I don't think I'm particularly goth, but black does make up the majority of my wardrobe.
If you listen to goth music, you're goth. If not, you're someone who finds black aesthetically pleasing :)
u kive this and you look graat. i enjoy the cheap vs the ghendm
Oh those shorts are great! They have a pocket for a phone or id/money - wonder if they's hold up for running?
I'm pretty sure they were designed with running in mind. I'm just that woman who likes having pockets even with my leggings or shorts, so I co-opted them for gothic wear.
Leggings with pockets? SORCERY!
just curious why do you have the side camera on too?
That's my back up emergency mic because my mic keeps crapping out. I've had 4 videos just randomly record without sound. I really need a new external mic that I just plug in and works.
@@Phyrra ohhhhhhhhh smart.
Sounds like you would have to spend a lot of time in the store looking. I could be in and out maybe buy maybe not in 15 minutes . :-)
I really enjoy shopping. It's something I used to do with my Grandma every weekend. I can definitely go in 'on a mission' and be in and out fast :)
Do those Amazon shorts/leggings run true to the size chart?
My measurements are 38 27 37 right now and I ordered the size Small. The Size Small from ODODOS fits me comfortably (and you could see how it looked in the video).

I'm forever a baby bat
They told me at 20 I would grow out of it. Now at 40, still a baby bat 🦇🦇🦇

I think the idea that one brand is essential to being goth is silly. What if they don't carry your size? Are you doomed?
Right? It's one of my many annoyances! Plus goth came out of the punk scene where there was a lot of DIY, so my husband says when he first got into goth it was way more about thrifting and DIY.
