Gothic clothing for men styles tips and where to buy

I will write another post dedicated to men and where to buy gothic clothing items, since I get the feeling that there are more information about women out there and less about men.

---- Update --- I decided to update this post since many of the links don't work any more and because there are more awesome things I'd like to include here. I hope you'll enjoy it -----

So I sometimes browse gothic clothes for men in order to get ideas for my fiance. So here is what I found today.

I have no affiliation with these stores, I just browser stuff and I share them with you :)

Shirts and T-shirts for men

This e-shop is an interesting one. It's called Spiraldirect and it has clothes for both men and women but it seems that there are more items for men. Woohoo! Their clothes have mostly gothic and fantasy patterns on them and they are awesome.

Here are a few examples of shirts of all kinds with cool designs on them:

Sleeveless shirt with same design as above which has the same dragon/demon design in the back as well. Find it here: http://www.spiraldirect.com/mens/dragon-heritage-sleeveless-stone-washed-worker-black.htm

How about this Viking featuring shirt?

If you like tribal patterns then take a look at this:

If you don't like big patterns or designs and you are more of a low profile guy but still like going into goth/ebm clubs and look cool here are some great shirts for you:

Lets look for some pants for our goth men, shall we?

I probably have written again about x-tra-x. Well it's a great store with very good prices, so why not?

Here is a simple pair of pants. My advice is that if you are going to wear a heavy shirt, heavy as in with a lot of patterns, or a big stamp like the ones above, go for a simple pair of pants otherwise the whole outfit will look too heavy and busy.

Something like this should be fine:

This one can work too:

However, you can have a simple black shirt or t-shirt, with no patterns or stamps and you can go crazy with the pants.

And these are my suggestions for today. I hope you enjoyed them.

Of course there are plenty more clothes and styles to experiment with and I definitely plan on making more posts like this with different outfits.

So stay tuned and stay goth!

Gothic workout outfits - in other words, holidays are over

Hello everyone!

I'm officially back from my holidays! I enjoyed this summer a lot actually. My and my bf visited my home country, Greece, went to a friend in France for a few days and then we did small trips here in Sweden.

So, what do I have now, besides some amazing pictures and memories? Well, extra kilos.
Sad but true.

So, no more excuses. I have been working out almost daily and I keep on doing so, even if the weather doesn't allow it. If you live in Sweden, you know what I mean.
By work out, I mean going out for powerwalks. It's a nice exercise, even though I'm seriously thinking of either going to the gym, or even going to the swimming pool. I used to go swimming when I was a kid, and a bit older, and I love it.


Of course even when I work out, I don't want to miss my Gothic style. I do wear my black clothes of course, and I have bought a pair of training leggins (kind of necessary because they are comfy and good for letting the skin breath).

But I'm going to give you some tips of what to wear when you want to go training (gym, park, wherever) and keep your awesome dark, goth, ebm style!

Here is a Polyvore set I made, for girls.

Black - Gothic workout clothes by morgy23 featuring a scoop neck shirt

As you see, I have included traditional athletics clothes, but if you combine them with a pair of cool socks, the outfit instantly changes. Or you can wear a nice bats and webs pair of leggings with a simple, comfy, cotton shirt and there you have it again.

I also have my nails painted black so that gives also an extra gothiness touch.

The above are just suggestions of course. You can improvise and make your own dark-inspired work out outfit.

Tips for everyday goth - cybergoth - ebm outfits

Well, let's face it, just wearing black clothes, a simple pair of plack training pants, and a blank black t-shirt, will not make you goth.

It might sound silly to some, as in "appearence doesn't matter" but well, actually it does.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that if you don't dress gothic or ebm, you are not a worth-noticing person.

However, if you like that kind of music and you like the oufits, that means that you like to stand out and you like to be different.

And that's perfect.

So let me share a few simple tips.

When I go to work, I can't really wear mini skirts and fishnets, however I put on my black mini skirt (ok, not very mini, it's work after all) that has a few details, like a couple of laces in the front, nothing fancy.
And since I can't wear a fishnet tight, i choose to put on my opaque leggings.

Pick a plain black shirt (you know, the ones with the buttons) and have cool T-shirt on top (yep, you got it, time to pick one from our goth-ebm collection) and that's it.

Put on your boots, ok not that high heeled PVC boots, u know the other ones, the flat ones for everyday, or your allstar shoes or whatever and... there you have it!

Enjoy your casual day!
