You didn’t think this cold December air was going to stop me from keeping things spooky did you? I have to admit I’ve been much more festive this holiday season than I have in any other year. However, Halloween is still everyday in my household, especially when it comes to my wardrobe. This spooky and goth outfit is one of my go to casual looks because it’s comfortable yet still stylish.

Spooky and Goth Clothing That’s Also Comfortable
The best items in my wardrobe come from small businesses. Not only do they typically have very unique designs, but the actual quality of the items far surpasses those I have seen or previously purchased from large retailers. This is especially true for Manku, Vixen, and Sourpuss.
I actually went into a bit more detail about this Vixen leather jacket here. You’ll also get tips on how to find a good leather jacket without breaking the bank. If you’re in the market for one, I recommend checking that out.
Something that can be frustrating about goth and alternative clothing is that some brands push the aesthetic versus comfort and quality. This is not the case when it comes to Manku Shop. If you saw my 2020 Small Business Holiday Shopping Guide, you might already be aware of the fact that I have been living in her clothes all year long.
I’m a big believer in clothes that can do it all. I’ve worn this exact tank top paired with skirts, jeans, leggings, heels, boots- you name it! At the same time, I’ve also worn it around the house with sweat pants. If you’re looking for clothing that’s good for lockdown lounging or a stylish outing, Manku Shop is the number one place I recommend.
These super stretchy leggings I picked up on sale from Sourpuss a few months ago and it looks like they’re no longer available. They do, however, have similar styles still in stock, just with different prints. I actually just ordered this pair during their Black Friday sale and I’m waiting for them to arrive. They’re still on sale too! Just so you know, Sourpuss carries their own designs as well as other brands. If you’re looking for a pair just like this make sure you’re ordering the Sourpuss Clothing leggings.
Shoes and Accessories
The boots paired with this outfit were actually part of my first Killstar order a few years ago. I’ve worn them to concerts at various venues, to the mall, out to dinner, and pretty much anywhere else I see fit. They were worth every penny. Because these boots don’t have a supportive insole, I recommend making sure you have some comfy, fuzzy socks to wear them with.
Killstar’s also been pretty good about running sales every so often on their shoes and accessories, which is when I picked up this choker.
