Gothic clothing has become a mainstream fashion trend.  Members of every culture now embrace gothic style as a major influence on fashion.  Gothic style is characterized by dark colors, edgy shapes, and specific design details.  There’s no longer a stigma surrounding Gothic style, because Gothic is now classified as a specified fashion trend and no longer a human label. 

Rich dark colors are quintessentially Gothic.  These colors stand out against the skin and create dramatic contrasts in the wardrobe. Graphic designs with bold lines and shapely cuts are also known as quintessentially gothic.  Contrary to what some believe, Gothic clothing does not mean dressing in all black.  Gothic style is much more detailed than a mere color choice.  Gothic style can extend from the cut and shape of clothing to a graphic gothic t-shirt that mimics the style edge. 

In a world where there are so few ‘blank canvases’ left for self expression, Gothic clothing can mean the freedom of expression while still maintaining a cutting edge style that’s the envy of others.  Gothic is a style that can be worn by members of both sexes equally well.  A man need not wear eyeliner and boast a dog collar to embrace the gothic style.  Because of today’s designers like Vince Ray and Alchemy gothic, gothic style can be both masculine and stylish. 

Dressing in gothic clothing does not always mean the wearer will be ostracized.  In fact, today’s gothic can be considered an attitude as much as it is a style.  Men and women who embrace the Goth style put themselves out there as artistic and edgy.  These style mavens are viewed as strong and trendy.  People in all walks of life enjoy and embrace gothic style.  Whether you’re a librarian or a roadie, there’s a goth trend, or gothic t-shirt, that will suit your personal style.

There’s no need to shy away from embracing gothic clothing, the trend is now a mainstream fashion staple that shows no signs of fading away.  Add gothic inspired accessories to your current style to bump up the “edge” factor in your wardrobe.  A gothic top, jewelry, boots, or accessories can put a gothic spin on a more traditional wardrobe.   Incorporating gothic inspiration into your wardrobe is as easy as exploring your creative side.  Small gothic touches can help you ease your way into a gothic wardrobe without completely altering your current style. 

Whether you have been part of the gothic subculture for years, or you’re simply inspired by gothic details, shopping online for gothic clothing and accessories will make your affection an easy buy.

Whether young or old, most people find themselves at one point or another fascinated with fairies.  One particular point of fascination lies in fairy art, particularly that of artists such as Amy Brown, Jasmine Becket-Griffith and Michele Lee Phelan who specialize in images of dark and gothic fairies.  So how did we come from the legends of fairies and fae to collecting fairy figurines and dark fairy art prints?  The answer most likely lies in what those artistic fairies generally represent… the beauty and magic that too often seems to be missing from modern life.

The fairies of legend started out quite a bit different than those that we know today… many of the old legends depicted fairies as being tall and radiant or short and ugly.  Many old world fairies were considered to be malicious or at the very least mischievous; they were believed to steal from around the house and sometimes were even thought to kidnap small children and leave fairy creatures in their place.  Over the years, however, the view of fairies in folklore began to change.

By the Victorian age, fairies had begun to assume the forms that we know today.  With their beauty and the magic hinted at by their wings, good fairies began appearing more often in children’s stories and works of fantasy.  Fairies became somewhat common in artwork, with their images appearing in paintings and even photographs.  So-called dark fairies and gothic fairies began to appear as well, with their dark glamour fueling a new resurgence of fairy art for both fairy and gothic collectors to enjoy.
