Help me with my Goth/Rock Star Look
 

Okies, so the convention I am going to attend is August 1-3. I want to pull off this almost.. gothich look and I got a general idea of what I want.

This is just what it looks like, not the full thing, I actually plan to not wear braids and have my hair straightend. YOu know... falling down. So, is there anything else you would add so I could complete this thing? :rolleyes:



I am aiming for something like this guy

I dunno man.
You look good as is. o.O
Don't put any make up on..that'll look so duumb
Uhm
Maybe some black and white sex bracelets going all the way to your elbow?
A belt like this.
I have one doesn't look right on me and it's way to big.
Not only is it like a belt when you strap it over your chest it looks like a load of bullets.
Loose Bullet Belt @ Hottopic.com

Maybe u could add boots
&&
a choker....
if u don't already have em.

Hm..

Some spike bracelets. Maybe one skull ring? Maybe some colored hair spray, maybe. Leather boots do sound good. Hot Topic has Demona boots I think. Buy a tight, like Underarmour or whatever, shirt and rip it a little.

Do you have an idea of what I mean when I say those really cool metal finger thingies? I dunno what they're called, but they'd compliment a gothic outfit if you did it right.

That's all I know. Have fun at the thingy! :)

check martial art stores

I like the belt idea! also the chokers dont sound too bad either. Thanks everyone for your suggestions

yeah~
just need more accessories xD
maybe a bit of make up~

like maybe use some silver eyeliner too draw in a couple tear drops~
or some decoration round your eyes >.>'

get rid of the vest! i think it's tacky, man. the pants are nice. add some studded belts, some chains. a black shirt would be better, something tight. and definitely get some heavy boots. make up too, optionally (black eyeliner, black eyeshadow, black mascara possibly)

honestly, i don't know what resources you have, though. are you in a city? usually metropolitan areas have districts of goth, punk, etc clothing shops (for example, new york's st. mark's place) where you can buy all the leather and metal your heart could desire.

Alright. This is more my strength than Lolita and such, since Im goth. :)

I looove the look youre aiming for. Here are some things to consider:

-are you going to wear makeup? Black Eyeliner on boys looks uber hot. Or you could use a bit of white as well for a sharp contrast eye.

-Do you want to really replicate that look in the pic? Youll need a vinyl top and trousers and nice boots.

-Hardware. That look is complex and gorgeous. Youll need metal accessories galore! You can make belts out of the large keyring loops or buy them. Bullet belts, grommet belts, studded belts- layer like 2-3 on your hips for that weighed down Gothic swager. Spiked collars, bracelets, all that.


If you have specific questions pm me or whatever. :)!

I want to see the result when youre done!!! 'Going to be wicked!

gosh, took you long enough >.>"''
was wondering when you'd get around too this thread x]

AHAHAHAHAHA
Thanks! ;)

Yeah Im such a clothing nerd. Its really lame....

haha, my girlfriend is like really really into cosplay
and makes all her things by hand~

don't think i'd love her as much as i do if she didn't have that one passion o.o'

Cosplay is really neat! Im fascinated by the people who do it well. I dont really look like any characters I can think of, so Ive never really done it.

:)

hmm if you live in the LA/Hollywood area, I can tell you some REALLY good stores

Wow I used to know so many people who dress like this! Ah those were the days.

Ahem, yeah. Too much makeup looks ridiculous no matter who you are. A subtle bit of pencil eyeliner on the top and bottom is fine, it doesn't look like your trying to hard.

You can get all those chains and stuff pretty cheap all over the place, if your american would Hot Topic be the thing?

Those boots are as expensive as fuck, by the way. The standard goth boots that most people have are called 'New Rock' and average around £100 [$200] but I'm sure you could find some sort of cheaper version. But I know for a fact that New Rock shoes last FOREVER, providing your feet have stopped growing.

Other clothes are easy, black pants and a black tshirt, for starters. You can elaborate on that later, maybe with t-shirts of bands or something [just make sure it isn't Westlife :D xD]

I have a katrillion of those spikes from my goth days, enough to cover both arms xD It's really quite intimidating but nobody messes with you! One thing I would say is, you can't type on a keyboard or write with them, and having lots can actually get pretty heavy. Stick to one on each wrist to begin with.
