Whimsigoth is a beautiful mix of magical, dark gothic influences with romantic, faerie-like layers of flowing bohemian style. The deep colors, rich textures, boots, etc., are perfect for Fall and Winter. However, the sheer and billowy fabrics, skirts and dresses easily adapt this look to wear for Spring and Summer too. I’ve already covered the basics of what’s needed to create outfits for the cool seasons HERE. In this post, I’m focusing on inspiration for the warm seasons ahead. Age doesn’t matter with this Victorian-based trend.
How to Enjoy Whimsigoth Style in the Spring & Summer
For Whimsigoth style in Spring and Summer, focus on whimsical prints, rich jewel tones, and lightweight fabrics like velvet or chiffon or crochet. Prints include celestial motifs, florals, paisley and nature (such as butterflies, birds, plants, etc.) Incorporate billowy maxi skirts, layered tops, and accessories with starry or mystical themes to complete the look.
Take any Spring/Summer piece of clothing, such as an openwork cardigan, in black or a jewel color. Opt for deep colors such as emerald green, sapphire blue, and amethyst purple. Mix unexpected colors, like pink with darker skirts, to enhance the whimsical aspect.
A sleeveless navy or brown floral dress over a short-sleeve black t-shirt. Add a short gemstone pendant + black biker boots.
Top a dress with a black crochet vest.
Black draped vest over a black tank top, such as lace-edged or studded or sequined over short denim skirt. Add patterned black stockings + black biker boots.
Evening: A sleeveless black maxi dress over long-sleeve black lace top + a burnout velvet or chiffon kimono. Add a couple of lockets + one or more rings. You might like to add a chain belt.
I hope this helps you to create outfits that you love!
And There’s More!

Whimsigoth style blends elements of goth and whimsy, balancing light and dark . It fits right in with the Fall trend of Dark Romance. And it’s also great for the Spooky Season of October (see my post on that here.) It’s got a little bit of Gypsy (see post here) and a little bit of Stevie Nicks style (here.) And the whimsy of it makes Goth more modern and approachable for every day. Add a touch or two or wear it to the max, whatever feels like your true self. Age doesn’t matter! Martha Stewart even announced that it’s Fall’s biggest home trend.
