Top hats are pushing it a little…
I find that these days, a traditional or “medieval” goth are a beautiful rarity and the clothing is, unfortunately, saved for Hallowe’en parties. I’m sitting here in Merry Auld Scotland and not once have I seen a proper goth as described!
I see plenty of PVC and metal though…and a group of my male friends are fond of leather trenchcoats…one of which is too short for them >.<
It’s odd, they claim they all are different but in reality, they’re avoiding all forms of criticism too. Bleedin’ hypocrites.
