The bands were a big influence on the clothes, hair and make up associated with Goths. There weren’t any hard and fast rules and individual experimentation with Goth costume was encouraged. The usual color worn was black, and purple, and deep red on occasion. Both men and women had black hair, white make up and black nail polish.
Women wore long, velvet dresses with fishnet stockings and men wore frilly shirts as worn by the Romantic poets. Sometimes studded dog collars were worn around the neck. Silver buckles and silver jewelry would often finish a Goth costume ensemble.
Old horror movies, featuring Dracula were a favorite of the Goths. The largest annual gathering of Goths in England takes place in the seaside resort of Whitby, where Bram Stoker set his original Dracula story.
The women especially, modeled their Goth costume on the female vamp actresses. Winona Ryder played a Goth in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice. Goths started to appear in TV shows too. The bands of the genre had wonderfully macabre names, such as Dead Can Dance, Killing Joke, Sisters of Mercy and Southern Death Cult. A lot of people who felt insecure with their looks felt at home in Goth costume.
