easiest way to start imo: think of whichever type of outfit you currently feel your best in and start off by acquiring an all-black version. once you’ve got all your staples covered, you can add more personality to that look by keeping an eye out for more explicitly goth-aesthetic pieces that align with your tastes—jewelry, accessories with chains or metallic pieces or leather or lace, band tees, patterned or mesh or fishnet items for layering, outerwear with an interesting silhouette

Alt hair style might be worth looking into, wear some band tees, get tats or piercings maybe

if full trad goth feels like too much effort you can wear band tees or even just generally a lot of black, also fishnets and big stompy boots

Lowkey I literally just search up goth playlists on spotify and listen to them. One of my favorites is “Goth/Gothabilly/psychobilly”

basically, hang onto whatever you’ve already learned about fashion and what’s comfortable for you to wear, just translate that into a mostly-black color scheme and then get funky with it lol piercings and dyed hair are also useful for cementing the look but I understand that those are somewhat of a commitment. lemme know if you want any basic makeup tips too
