Antiquity style

The antiquity style is a style you see a lot in the gothic scene.
This style has beautiful long dresses, often made of velvet with tight bodices and (sometimes) gored skirts.
Apart from velvet others fabrics are used such as lace, tulle/bobbinet, voile and velour.
The gentlemen wear blouses with lots of frills, and they sometimes combine their outfits with long, black coats.
Both in ladies’ fashion and men’s fashion the sleeves often spread out widely, the so-called batwings.
The colours that you see the most are black, purple, red, aubergine, blue, green and also white.
The shoes that are worn are pointy toe shoes and (knee) high lace-up boots; although in the past few years the antiquity style has also been combined with ‘city’ boots or other varieties in boots.
The hair is usually black, but actually you can see any colour varying from natural blond to purple.
Usually the women wear their hair long, and the same goes for the men.
The make-up often consists of a pale foundation combined with black eye shadow and black lipstick.
Of course there are people who do not wear make-up at all or Goths who make little works of art round their eyes in every possible colour.
Goths often wear silver jewellery and velvet or lace chokers.
This style finds its origin in the middle ages and the Victorian era and can be categorised into the medieval style and the Victorian style.

The cyberpunk / cyber gothic style

This style attracts the attention because of the varied use of the materials patent leather, PVC and/or rubber.
You also see a lot of coloured and quilted fabrics, fishnet tights and fishnet shirts.
The clothes are often short and tight, futuristic, sturdy and tempting.
Black is also used much as well as several other (neon) colours.
The shoes are often decorated with large buckles and cyber Goths also wear high platform shoes a lot.
The make-up that is worn can vary from bright colours to black and coloured hair extensions are also often used in this style.
The jewellery they wear often consists of studded leaded or metal chokers or neon coloured chokers

The spice goth style

The thing that is most noticeable about this style are the short dresses and wide skirts.
Usually the colour black is combined with one or several other colours such as pink, blue, purple or green.
High boots accomplish the style.
The hair is usually black and is sometimes combined with coloured parts.
The hair is often worn in two high pigtails and a short fringe.
The make-up knows different styles or is a combination of styles.
This style comes across as a very girlish style and is probably derived from the gothic Lolita style.

Gothic Lolita

The gothic Lolita style in Gothic clothing is very popular in Japan.
In this style we make the distinction between elegant gothic Lolita, sweet Lolita, elegant gothic aristocrat, kodona, neo-gothic and British aristocrat/dandy gothic.
We will only discuss a very small section of the styles
 
This style arose around 1999 as a kind of Alice in Wonderland style.
The standard dress of the elegant gothic and sweet Lolita is usually short (above the knee), sticking out because of the layers of petticoats and (not necessarily so) puffed trousers.
The dresses have puffed sleeves.
These little dresses are called baby doll dresses.    
Baby doll dresses can be bought in all kinds of colours, but in general, the sweet Lolita will wear them in all colours whereas the elegant gothic Lolita will opt for dresses in black or white or dresses in black and white.
Often the dresses are trimmed with lace.
Even though the dresses can be very sweet, they can also be ‘scary’.
They are combined with knee high stockings and platform shoes or boots.
Apart from dresses, (three-quarter length) trousers are also worn (with braces).
This style is considered to be the British aristocrat/dandy goth/goth or kodona style.
Both boys/men and women wear this style.
In other words: the clothing can be seen in different styles.
Another style is the elegant gothic aristocrat style and in this style people wear long, dark skirts, blouses and long coats.
For neo gothic anything goes, as long as the clothes are original. 
A hair dress is also worn often, a kind of dowdy head band trimmed with lace and ribbons. Hats are also worn in this style.
In general, sweet Lolitas often wear pigtails.
The make-up can vary; sweet Lolitas do not usually wear much make-up, just a bit of mascara.
The elegant gothic Lolita usually puts on a lot of black make-up. (of course this differs from person to person).
