Gothic style tips for men - August 2014

Hello my dear darklings. It's August, which means that it's summer in half the planet. So, how do you dress in a uber cool gothic style when it's that warm outside? Lucky for me and I guess for many that live in the nothern parts of Europe it's not that warm so we don't suffer from our gothic outfits.

However I'm going to show you how to rock the style and remain cool and this post is dedicated to men. Only men's fashion on this one!

Pants.
This is a great example of short pants that match well a goth/emo/ebm/metal outfit.

You can find it here. 

Or what abou something like that?

Tops.

This awesome T-shirt is very summery don't you agree? Feeling hot from the heat? Jump in and have a refreshing bloody bath with the companion of your choice.

You can find it here.

Or this one if you want to look more formal:

You can find it here.

Are you a Depeche Mode fan? Worry not. This shirt is for you!

You  can find it here: 

Do you like sculls? Then this is the shirt for you. It always crack me up when people are asking me with fear in their face "Why on earth do you wear sculls on you? Why do you like them?" Well I answer them, why do you like flowers? I mean we all are going to end up like that in the end, I mean skeletons, so there is nothing to fear, right? Right :)

You can find it here.

Regarding shoes, since it's summer I will let you get away with simple trainers, black please, because I understand how tough it is to walk with heavy boots. Or why not a pair of black all-stars?

Found on Pinterest

Now you are all set! No excuses for not rocking a goth style even during summer!

Enjoy my darklings.

Gothic clothing for guys pinterest board

Well, look what I discovered today while browsing for some goth outfits. A pinterest board dedicated to men.

It's not mine so I'm not trying to promote it, I would have said so otherwise.

But I think it's a cool idea that deserves to be shared.

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?

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:

Find it here: http://www.x-tra-x.de/clothes-male/pants-mens-skirts/hose-spiderweb-star-2334.html

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!
