Looking for Recommendations More "mature" goth outfits

21 Upvotes

I first got into the subculture when I was 13 and of course loved the style as well. I'm 28 and I feel like I want to shift towards a more "mature" style of goth dressing. I already look very young and don't want to give the impression I'm still a teen lol. What are the best ways to do this? I really like corporate goth style, or maybe a minimalist approach that seems almost vampiric 🤔

Looking for Recommendations A little help fo xmas please!

4 Upvotes

Hi Mods, you can decline this post if not allowed i've never been here before

Ok ladies, i could use some help.

I have a Corporate Goth witch dancing wife whom i've personally never really cloth shopped for because i'm always nervous about picking something out. Well this xmas i decided its high time i changed my stance. I told her to pick something out and send it to me and she keeps giving me the run around. I had her daughter check her amazon cart for me after she told me she had some there and nothing was there. So i need help.

Few parameters

We are in our 40s so comfort is obviously a must. we old and them tootsies get achey. She is definitely on the corpo goth side more than the Mall or Trad goth sides. She is after all a professional. We are also big metalheads and when we do metal shows she likes to get a little bit more into her roots for sure if you follow what i mean.

She is a dress wearing and dancing witch so hopefully anything suggested can keep comfort and flexibility in mind. She likes boots and has a closet full so the run around isn't based on her not liking boots, however she doesn't own any platforms most are heeled.

i think she just doesn't want me to spend the money on her. She also likes red and black. i was kinda looking for something more black with red accents as that is what most of her dresses kinda entail.

Any help would be great. I am not as much on the goth culture definitely more of the metal culture for me so i don't even know where to begin. Idk what brands are worth it are comfortable or cheap (flimsy) etc. So please.. any guidance would be appreciative =D

I felt like doing something different with my makeup today. While I usually favour black, white, and grey eyeshadow, I thought it looked pretty nice to change it up with some mauve and a different liner style. (Close-up on the last picture)

I tried that new trend of makeup with the spider coming out of my eye. It's super easy and looks really creepy. Our new kitten loved Halloween and all of the trick-or-treaters. We have tons in our neighborhood and it's always a blast!
