Whimsigoth is a trend inspired by dark beauty and fantasy-like enchantment — girly but with a goth-inspired twist. Think bell sleeves, mesh tops, and a mix of floral with dim undertones. There is also a 90s vibe that comes with the trend that channels the styles of 90s TV shows like Twin Peaks, Charmed and Sabrina the Teenage Witch..

Swipe ahead to find out how you can pull off the Whimsigoth trend within your own wardrobe.

Black Maxi Skirt

A black maxi skirt is often the base when putting together a whimsigoth look. Wear your maxi skirt with a mesh top, or wear a classic tank with stone accessories.

Corduroy Pants

Bell-bottoms, especially in corduroy, scream 90s Whimsigoth! Pair your pants with chunky boots and a floral top.

Bell Sleeve Tops

If you don’t want to commit to a dress, choose a bell-sleeved top with girly details. The top doesn’t have to be dark, but make sure it has mesh details that move with your body, like ruffles.

Mesh Top
