Editing Gothic fashion (section)

==Variations==
===Deathrock===
[[Deathrock]] fashion, much like goth music, is closely related to goth fashion. The influences of the style come from a blend of glam rock, punk rock, gothic horror literature, and undead characters of classic horror films. The aesthetic was born from the early Los Angeles punk rock scene, and gained influences from fashion worn by patrons of the Batcave club in the UK as the two regional scenes had met. Many deathrockers have a dark DIY punk approach on their attire. The common theme of the aesthetic is dominantly black clothing: shirts featuring deathrock bands or horror themes, torn fishnets as a shirt and/or hosiery, pale fleshtone or pale white foundation and powder makeup on the face, black or darkly colored eye makeup, combat boots or [[Doc Martens]], and skirts, leggings, [[slim fit pants]] or shorts. Iconic hairstyles of this style are the "Deathhawk", mohawks or variants of mohawks, and spiky or teased hair. The horror punk and deathrock fashion section of the [[punk fashion]] article has more details.

===Haute goth===

The [[Cybergoth]] and [[rivethead]] subcultures emerged in America during the late 1990s, and combined classic gothic fashions such as leather [[duster coat]]s, [[tripp pants]] or Demonia brand [[platform boots]] with the clothing worn by fans of [[industrial metal]] and [[rave music]] to create a [[dystopian]], [[futuristic]] [[science fiction]] look.<ref>[http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/09/13/1031608320631.html Dead fashionable].

===Traditional goth===
Traditional goth (or trad goth) is a term defining the aesthetic that reflects the classic and original aesthetics of Goth from the 1980s. The examples are from the attire worn by Bauhaus, Siouxsie Sioux and the Cure. Dominantly black clothing, [[brothel creepers|creepers]], [[winklepicker]]s, and backcombed, disheveled hair are common. Patrons of the Batcave club in the UK had an impact on the fashion with the attire they wore. This also has close relation to the [[deathrock]] revival and fashion, as the 1980s goth and Batcave fashion influenced the aesthetic over the decades into the 2010s.

=== Victorian goth ===
