The sun is showing more often in this north side of the world (Sweden) which means that the days are getting longer and warmer.
I must say, winter in Sweden is perfect for Gothic outfits. Well, almost, but let me explain.
You can wear heavy boots, black leg-warmers, black mitten, black scarves, hats, heavy coats with no problem at all.
I like the goth lolita style and during winter I personally believe it's easier to achieve that.
But now that it's getting warmer, well, many argue that they cannot dress the same way or that they suffer from the warmth and the black clothes.
Well, heh, trust me, I know! I'm greek, and I have been living in Athens for my first 30 years of my life ;)
During summer, it is NOT a nice place to be.
But did that stop me from wearing black clothes? No. Why? Well, in Athens, if it's 40 degrees it doesn't matter if you wear black or white. But it's a good idea if the fabrics are rather light.
And well, instead of black boots (doc martens, demonia, any type of the regular goth boots ) which granted, are not ideal for summertime so if you choose to wear them do it at your own risk, me and my friends (similar gothic style as me) were wearing black sandals and in general "open"shoes.
And there are many nice and cool gothic sandal designs that won't compromise your style.
And what about boys? Well, my advice for them would be to stick to simple black snickers. They match well with everything so why suffer with army boots? No need.
Soon, I will come back with more tips and more visual material for spring and summer outfits that are cool yet comfortable.
Let's destroy that myth that summer and goth outfits don't go well together, yeah?
Cheers
