The days are getting shorter, summer festivals are over – which means club tours and Spooky Season are here. But it also means layering: Onion-style layering has its place in modern streetwear & dark fashion, too, because nobody wants to freeze on the way home from a show. But how do you pull that off while staying true to your personal style? We've got plenty of inspo and brand-new arrivals for you!
The Art of Layering: More is More
When done creatively, layering during the transition season and winter is your style's best friend – whether you're rocking a core merch look or Nu Goth. Leggings and band longsleeves paired with a harness, or band tees worn over a tight turtleneck, are just a few of the many ways to make your outfit autumn-ready. But the real twist comes down to the jewelry.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with a sleek, simple look: an elegant Gothic dress paired with silver accents like a necklace and earrings from Wildcat, for example. But the modern trend is all about jewelry layering. That means combining multiple necklaces and tailoring the style and symbolism to your own personality. Here are a few ideas for upcoming club nights, concerts, and everyday wear:
-
Modern Core Statement: Right in the middle of your layering stack, you need an eye-catcher that adds structure and won't get lost in the folds of your hoodie. This is precisely where Fainz becomes the absolute must-have of the season, thanks to their clean, edgy designs. Their cool-toned metals look insanely good with the intricate, branch-like prints on metal and deathcore merch.
-
Heavy Duty: At the very bottom of your layer stack, it's best to wear your longest chain – occult symbols, crosses, chunky links, or skulls. This piece needs to pop.
Our tips: The brand Fainz comes straight out of Germany, crafts top-quality jewelry, and is brand-new to our shop. Meanwhile, Minga London is right at the forefront with designs hitting all the latest trends.
Witchy Hands: Ring Stacking
What works with necklaces works just as well with rings. You can combine several chunky rings on one or both hands, or mix and match delicate designs.
Our tips: Jewelry from Restyle featuring witchy vibes like crystals and nature motifs, or from Lively Ghosts with Gothic designs that are perfect for the Spooky Season.
