Gothic fashion

Gothic fashion doesn't have the best reputation. Long the province of angsty suburban high schoolers and internet subcultures, most people associate gothic fashion with ripped fishnets, badly dyed hair, and vampire makeup. However, as the fall runways have shown, Gothic can be beautiful and modern - these clothes are a far cry from Hot Topic.

Olivier Theyskens and Nicolas Ghesquiere are the leaders of this new look - a darkly romantic style that uses historical motifs in a completely new way. At Rochas, Olivier has created a new vision of Victorian that is feminine, modern, and not all fussy or prim, and at Balenciaga, Nicolas has updated archival Balenciaga, adding both Baroque touches and a rock'n'roll edge, resulting in a seamless blend of eras that has fashionistas around the world coveting his clothes.

But how do you wear these styles without looking you're wearing a costume (or like a rebellious teenager)? It's all in the mix. Wear your ruffled blouses with jeans and a leather jacket, or floaty, feminine dresses with chunky platforms. Or just keep it to the accessories - try a skull or heavy cross necklace with a sleek suit. Makeup is also one of the easiest ways to go neo-Goth: just wear a little more dark eyeliner or lipstick than usual (and remember to keep the lips neutral). Inky nail polish is another fun way to try this look; OPI's "Lincoln Park after Dark" is a purple so dark it appears black.

Baby goth clothes

Baby goth clothe style has definitely evolved over the past few years. Most people can probably remember when skater style was strictly a baggy t-shirt, with baggy jeans, and wide Vans with colored laces. However, today's skater style has become a diverse collection of brands, fits, shoes, and styles. The mixture displays a huge array of individualistic style, both for fashion purposes and functional purposes as well.

Skater fashion

Skateboarding style is no longer solely for the people you see carrying their boards around campus. The style has changed and evolved over the past few years into more of an original and unique sense of fashion as opposed to just following the typical college trends.

Sophomore, Erik Ottoson, said skateboarding was a huge part of his life for many years, so the style is just something he grew into. Ottoson competed in the amateur circuit, and trained with professionals before coming to college. He now keeps the skateboarding style alive by sporting his skater fashion daily around campus.

According to Ottoson, the skater style has evolved into two distinct categories, the loose fit skater style and the tight fit skater style. Ottoson says he falls somewhere between the two styles.

The loose fit style consists of the baggy pants, big T's and new era flat brimmed caps, which most people may think of when they think of the typical skater.

"The loose fit skater look is more of a relaxed fit," Ottoson said. "Their shirts are very urban like, kind of like graffiti; they become one with the streets."

On the contrary, the tight fit skater style is more of the tight pants and fitted shirt look. Junior, Josh Hollar chooses to follow this growing trend because of the comfort aspect of the style.
