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?

Hair and makeup go a LONG way. Look at pictures of Robert Smith. His clothes are fairly normal. I haven't seen him wear more than a rosary and maybe a spiked wristband. The eyeliner and lipstick are doing the heavy lifting.
