When you think of pastels you usually think of sweet candy-like style, right? A new style category that is emerging combines these sugary colors with the edgy and dark Gothic style that we have loved for years. Pastel goths (or lite punks/candy goths) wear traditionally Gothic clothing- the ripped tights, victorian dresses, studded accessories- but in cutesy hues of mint green, soft pink, baby blue, etc. It is heavily influenced by the Japanese term " Kawaii"( if you don't know what this means, why are you even reading my blog. Just kidding!) Kawaii is used to describe something as majorly cute. Think Pikachu or Hello KItty.
Some pastel goth stapes are...
1. Tights
PATTERNED TIGHTS ARE THE BOMB DOT COM! They are fairly cheap, have an enormous variety, and can be worn under shorts or skirts!
2. Amped up Makeup
Pastel goths usually go with doll-like blush, dark eyes, and either a dark or nude lip color. Most of the attention is on the eyes, but a candy colored, burgundy, or black lipstick adds another layer of awesome.
3. Jewelry
How can I talk about Pastel Goths and NOT mention the jewelry? Anything from classically goth victorian pieces to more modern sickly sweet pieces can make any outfit edgy.
