Gothic Glamour - Get the Look

The festive party season is almost upon us and what better way to make a statement than with one of AW14's most striking trends, Gothic Glamour. A frequent AW favourite with top designers, this year the classic Gothic look has taken a modern twist with heavy embellishment and a sophisticated midi silhouette. Main features include classic lace, sexy leather effect and anything with a bit of sparkle! Black may seem like the only choice for this dark trend but step out of the obvious with with deep burgundy and luxurious purple. Examples to get your heart racing can be seen on the catwalks of Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander Mcqueen.

Style queen Kim Kardashian provides perfect style inspiration on how to pull of this dramatic look with a mesh black midi dress paired simply with nude heels, this is a trend that calls for statement pieces and minimal accessories.

However you don't need to have Kim K's celebrity budget to come out tops, get the look for less with our ultra glam Serena mesh detailed bodycon dress. Teamed with Manda black platform heels you have a Gothic Glamour look to rival Kim's for a fraction of the price.

Another star loving this trend is fashion favourite Katy Perry. Seen here in a sexy cutout bodycon dress, this is a look we want to pull out again and again for edgy night time glamour.

Get Katy's style with our striking Morgan fishnet bodysuit which can be styled with leggings for a catsuit effect or with a sophisticated midi skirt such as our Rashida mesh skirt.

This coveted trend neednt be restricted to evening wear looks, Gothic Glamour can easily be incorporated into your everyday wardrobe with our range of casual on trend pieces. One of our favourite examples is our Maddi lace blazer which can be styled to fit in with every occasion, with a flatteringly fitted silhouette this is one piece that you will want to wear over and over again.

    For braving the cold weather invest in our cosy Adriana black PU sleeved jacket. With leather effect sleeves and subtle glitter thread through the main body of the jacket, this piece tackles two main elements of the gothic glamour trend making it an easy go to piece.

Accessories for this trend can be loud and heavy like our Susanita white cross necklace or just add the subtlest finishing touch like our Vivienne rope necklace, the choice is yours!

For the perfect bag we recommend our unique Jayden handbag with dimante detail.
