All white goth
 
Ok. Now this one is really weird. I had been thinking about this one for quite some timenow and I really need an opinion on this one. What if goths were to wear all white instead of all black? (besides I'm starting to like the sound of it.) Im starting to think it'd be a good idea because I like to stand out a lot.

I think it would be extremely beautiful if black people would wear white clothes and white make-up, instead of black. That way, they would also get that lovely contrast between their skin and their clothes.
I like a bit of contrast, so I don't think I would like someone with a light skin and light hair wearing all white, but it could be beautiful if you still have something dark, like your hair or your make-up.

But if you like it, you should absolutely try it, it's refreshing to see people who turn the typical goth-look into something new.
White clothing could also be great for people who live in a hot climate, I think it's very unflattering to wear black velvet when you're sweating like the Niagara falls.

That would be different, and very kool because it would contrast nicely with pale skin, i wouldnt personally choose white but thats because its a colour that doesnt suit me, but hey go for it :)

I like this idea a lot. I don't think I personally look good in white, but like Iriacynthe said, I think black people look excellent in white.
Anyway, the all white for goths idea is pretty interesting, and might have an even creepier effect than the all black.

When I lived in New Zealand and worked at a local restaurant, I'd always see this young girl who'd be dressed in all white - including her hair. It's definitely a cool look, but I don't know if it's right for everyone.

I'm white, and I have dark hair and eyes and I love wearing all-white. My white stockings, white shirt, and white dress. I usually wear black shoes, though, just because white shoes would get dirty SO fast.

I wouldn't recomend wearing white if your anything like me: someone with tons of puppy fat & extremely pale.It'll make your skin look like dirty snow & white doesn't slim you down.Go for pale cream or ivory.Never stark white.

I'm too fat to wear white...but I just posted pictures of myself when I still thought it was okay to wear a completely white dress.

She_Is_My_Sin 02-03-2006 02:27 PM

I think PVC looks abit dodgy white...

thetiesonyourcorset 02-03-2006 02:59 PM

i don't like most pvc stuff! the idea is pretty cool though (i'd definately try it) esp if it was a white gothic style dress i had!

thetiesonyourcorset 02-03-2006 04:11 PM

i was just going to say i'd wear my white platform shoes if they went with the dress but i don't have them anymore (they were my sisters and we shared them but she has them over in england) :( i'd buy new ones to go with the dress (dunno what colour)

I planned to make an all-white Gothic outfit, but I wasn't able to bleach my Marines jacket at all. It must have been treated with something...

Anyway, thanks for reminding me.

...What about stains?

thetiesonyourcorset 02-03-2006 04:31 PM

just be very careful not to make any! that's one reason why i wouldn't wear white all the time or all white!!

Oh yeah...and she had a GIANT tattoo of Scooby Doo on her back.

I actually like that dress... thought it was pretty.

I don't look BAD in white, just not as good as in other colours. It's not the most flattering colour, to face or figure. I'm very pale so I like to have a little contrast going on. Also, my hair is bright red and my eyes are bluey-green, so I like to kind of balance that a little with some dark or bright colour. I used to avoid colour like the plague when I was younger, because it's kind of hard to find colours that don't clash with natural red hair, but now that it's a darker red I tend to favour deep, jewel kind of colours. I like the all-white look though, it's very clean and appealing if the person wearing it really suits the colour. I have a friend who's half-Bangladeshi and she looks absolutely stunning in it.

Bah!

Go ahead and wear white if you want us all to point and laugh at you, Andrew.

<_<

>_>

What?

Godslayer Jillian 02-04-2006 11:49 PM

I myself prefer white, though not the pants

IlGato_DiDiablo 02-05-2006 12:37 AM

I can't wear white...I'm alittle too short for it and I don't want to look like a dwarf! I don't really like light colors but I do think it's a good idea!

peeves 02-05-2006 01:40 PM

Sounds like a good idea I'd join you but I'm far to messy to do so

angleangel_doom 02-05-2006 02:25 PM

How about a mix of both so it balances out...
Like a big, black bangle with a white shirt and either black or white pants...
I don't know I don't really wear all black or white.

winged_dreams 02-05-2006 10:27 PM

Sometimes I wear white shirts but that's about it.

If you like the idea then just go for it.
