Last weekend, I went to Las Vegas with my sister to soak up the sun poolside. Usually, by November the weather cools down in Las Vegas and they start calling it their winter season. However, it was already starting to cool the last week of October. Instead of temperatures in the 80’s Fahrenheit, they dipped into the 60’s. Doesn’t it seem to happen that the weather turns unfavorable right when you travel someplace?! It was 80 again the day after we got back. In the end, we even enjoyed the pool on 68 degree days because there was sun and no wind on deck.
It ended up that I only needed to wear the warmer clothes I packed. I brought mostly sandals and lightweight clothing and didn’t end up wearing them. After returning home, I surveyed what I actually wore out of my overpacked bags. It boils down to a capsule wardrobe that works for four days in between seasons in Las Vegas. And age doesn’t matter when you use my packing list.
So what do you really need to pack for a trip to Las Vegas?

The elements of Goth fashion derive from the Victorian Gothic era in the 19th Century, styled on the dark side. Think Edgar Allen Poe. Present-day Goth originally emerged from the post-punk scene in the United Kingdom in the early 1980s, and has caught on around the world and persists to this day. It is mysterious and poetic, edgy and dramatic. So whether you are Goth from way back or just looking into it, I have some up-to-date ideas here for how to get inspired by Gothic style.
Age doesn’t matter. You can get bolder as you get older. That’s not to say you can’t tone down this, or any, style. You can always be your true self and then throw in an element of style for fun, experimentation or self-expression. Trying out new things keeps us modern and youthful, and adding a third piece to a basic outfit is what makes things interesting.
So I am going to lay out the elements of Goth style, but you don’t have to use them all at once. One at a time is just fine. You can go crazy with it, you can add Goth pieces to something that’s the total opposite, you can wear it just for Halloween, or you can just buy one piece that you love and wear it forevermore. 😉
What follows are the elements and outfit ideas to get you inspired by Gothic Style.
