Are you looking to express your dark side in the form of fashion? Then the Goth Zodiac is perfect for you! In this blog article, we will explore how each of the 12 zodiac signs can embrace the goth aesthetic in their wardrobe. From the bold and daring Aries to the mysterious and romantic Pisces, we'll show you how to create the perfect goth look for your sun sign. So if you're ready to dress for the dark side, let's get started!
The Goth culture revolves around the concept of finding beauty in things that the majority of people – “the norm” – would find dark. Unfortunately, the world has casted an evil label on Goths, but this couldn’t be far from the truth. Goths are simply rebels that live according to their own compass and are in constant exploration regarding the various depths of the mysterious, romanticism, and the supernatural.
And because fashion is a powerful tool in communicating our personalities, which is clearly evident in the Goth culture, I’m super happy that I came across creative infographic artwork by deviantart.com writer, Megan (“Trellia”), in which she profiles all of the Sun Signs with a Goth-specific focus! So, naturally, these awesome graphics inspired me to create fashion looks that are based on the cartoon characters’ goth fashion.

Pisces
For the highly emotional and deeply spiritual Pisces Goth, combining black with a deep shade of blue contributes to this Sun Sign’s overall moodiness and superstitious spirit.
