Going for the gothic look need not mean shaving the sides off your hair, nor does it mean donning ripped hosiery, complete with boots the size of breeze blocks. And it certainly does not mean loading your iPod with a selection of Slipknots greatest hits.

Gothic can be stylish and sexy. Are you ready to embrace the new trend and unleash your inner Goth? The blueprints for this look include: Lace, Leather, Figure Hugging Silhouettes, Pearls, Black Beads, Silver Accents with Red Undertones.
