What characterizes the gothic style

Characteristics of Gothic dress code: anything black, or other dark colors such as navy blue or deep red. Can be see-through (thin nylon or fishnet-like fabrics), but not revealing. Silver jewelry. Pale skin. This could be because they need to look like the living dead, or because they want to embody the Victorian aesthetic of "pale skin is a sign of nobility", or because they are against the beach culture's "sun-bronzed beauty" theory of health. Theory. Brunettes, bleached very light blondes, redheads, or purple hair. Black and white makeup. White foundation. Black lipstick, black eye shadow, thin eyebrows. Self-binding decorations and fetish clothing. Leather, PVC, rubber and latex are all essential fabrics. Medieval corsets are also extremely common. Wide ties or collars with spikes or velvet cords tied tightly around the neck. t-crosses (the ancient Egyptian symbol of eternal life). Pentagram. This is the pagan symbol for fire, earth, air, water, and soul. The cross (a Christian symbol). Opera-style shawls, capes, and long gloves. Goths were generally not as extreme as punks, they would have had some taste. Baroque clothing is divided into the Dutch style period and the French style period. The former is the early period and the latter is the late period. The main feature of the Dutch period was the collar. Because that is the Netherlands prevailed (until now the Dutch national costume can also be seen, that kind of lace is generally known as the Dutch lace, because the Dutch knitted lace is the most famous) large draped over the shoulders with lace square collar. This collar is called a rabat, and the tunic is characterized by numerous decorative buttons, while the pants are extended to the (relatively Renaissance) knee, with the leg taut against the thigh. Underneath were stockings. From this time onwards, women did not use skirt supports, and only Spain continued the old tradition (the two statues of Princess Velasquez below the rice are the ones that continue to be used in Spain, while other countries have almost stopped using them. Until later when the skirt support is not this kind of flat type) skirt often have to have three layers to wear, looks bulky. The tops were either neck-length with a big lace collar or completely exposed to the chest. Sleeves were also very distinctive, banded at one section and decorated with layers of lace. After 1650, the French style began to emerge. It is now most often referred to as the baroque style. The main point is the use of ribbons, a lot of ribbons, a lot of lace. I remember a book describing baroque clothing as the era of lace, ribbons, long hair and leather. There is no other time in history when men were as flirtatious as they were at this time. Men's clothing was characterized by large lace sleeves, boots with spurs became fashionable, as well as large feathered hats and swords (watch The Three Musketeers to get an idea of what these looked like). Vests were fashionable at this time, very short and small, sort of like a suit undershirt (though it took until the Roque period for them to resemble modern men's clothing), and prominently featured were undergarments. Underwear that was heavily bound by tons of ribbons. A man needed more than 100 meters of ribbons to decorate one undergarment (scary!) The Baroque period was a time of high opulence, when shoes were mostly made of high-quality materials, like leather and brocade, with lavish and luxurious decorations such as silk ribbons, large buckles, embroidery, and jewelry. Today's boots modeled after the Baroque style focus on details reflecting the retro, like the cross drawstring on the upper, as well as discordant patterns and mix and match fashions, although low-key, but extremely simple and elegant. In a word: Gothic style is the kind of cool, a little decadent kind of style, now popular non-mainstream most of the Gothic style. Baroque is gorgeous, retro. In addition: in fact, these two styles, the original is the architectural style. Also, ask not to let post pictures, you can search in soso pictures, a search a whole lot.
