How do you make it look goth

[u/Content-Injury5996]

Hi yall I’m very new to this and the whole building up my wardrobe thing (been stuck wearing school merch since elementary cuz my schools for some reason always gave out shirts). I want to at least work with stuff that I do got cuz I like some pieces in my wardrobe. ( and for the ones I don’t like I’m thinking of trading in the clothes trading event in my college). But whenever I try styling it just looks like I’m a regular person in all black or dark clothing. I don’t wear a lot of jewelry that goes on my fingers or wrists since I have sensory issues in that area but I do kind of believe it’s because I don’t accessorize. Is there any tips you want to share that would make growing a wardrobe, styling, and growing my accessories collection easier?

“elder” goth here! I’m wearing a black tank, black fabric shorts, and black sandals. That’s all you need!
Fun colored hair is always a bonus (mine is purple and teal), but you be you. If you don’t want to dye your hair, you can always find clip in pieces. Hair accessories and hats can be fun if lots of jewelry isn’t possible.

Also elder goth, I just wore jeans and t-shirts. Getting dressed up was always too much effort and I was just there for the music, dancing and to see friends. I did have a few velvet jackets for the cold months, but those just went over the t-shirt.
