jeans???
Hi,
I was talking to some goths a few days ago, and they were wearing blue jeans.
And, they said it was okay to wear blue jeans. But, I thought you had to wear
something black. Soooo... ... Can you wear jeans or whatever?

Goths do not have to follow a strict dress code.
Hell, I'd dress preppy sometimes if I find an outfit that is aesthetically good.
So, yeah, a goth can dress jeans. Being goth is more about music than fashion style. There are more aspects than those two, but from both, music is more important than fashion.

I must agree. Music is much more imprtant than fashion. But fashion does help. I wear jeans a good deal of the time. I'm wearing some now.

Yes, goths do tend to dress in black (with red and white being the secondary colors) but that's not a must.
By the way, if you ask someone why does he wear black and tries to give you a "deep" answer like "because that's how I feel inside" or "because black absorbs color so I'm absorbing life", feel free to laugh at them.

i usually punk my jeans up, with chains or studs...otherwise i paint on them, or sew my favourite band's patches on the front. i sometimes unpick the stitching at the bottom and embroider something fun into them...
i only have one pair of regular jeans, for when we go and visit my dad's mother...

I've got cheapie clack jeans. My last pair of blue jeans got battered beyond recognition, and were almost white from washing.
I like my cheapie black jeans. They're like eighties drainpipes, and go great when i tuck them into my boots. They make my legs look extra skinny!
I need to get myself some normalish jeans again, though. They'll end up butchered, but I need a little diversity in my wardrobe for when I have to go out without attracting too many funny looks.

I used to wear jeans, but I don't like them any more. I much prefer wearing combats.

I pretty much live in Lip Service skinny fit jeans..they just fit me so well. Most of my jeans are black (as with most of my clothing), but not because I "feel black inside", hehe, that's funny! I don't wear black because it's "a goth thing to do", I wear it because that's what I like. I've actually tried to add color to my wardrobe, but I just always feel uncomfortable in it, and I also think that it looks bad because of all of the colorful tattoos I have...it just looks too busy or something. So, I try to add color to my wardrobe with accessories, like purses and shoes and hair.

I have one pair of punked up jeans. They have the safety pins, and random writing and random painting, the whole nine yards. They're really cool. But my dad made me get a regular pair of jeans for when I have to go some place where I should not be trying to attract looks.

I have grey, baggy jeans which I tuck into my New Rocks. They're so comfortable, so I wear them on days I can't be bothered to dress up on.
I also have a pair of black skinny fit jeans. Though they do have a tendancy to fall down a bit at the back & flash my underwear to the world (I made the mistake of wearing them out to a restaurant & revealing my lovely panties to the waiter). Plus I don't really have skinny fit legs, so they look quite nasty on me.

*Laughs* I can't find a pair of skinny jeans that really fit on me. But I will try to soon. I think they're sexy.  Even though I don't have real skinny legs, I don't care, I love my body.
Does anyone know where I can find a decent pair of skinny jeans???

No way-- did someone seriously ask that question? "Can I wear jeans and still be gothic...?" I'm sorry, I'm just going to laugh and walk away... I can't even think of a good answer.

Hey, that's Fli's first post. It's a reasonable question for a beginner who didn't say they were Goth themselves. You expect a Mennonite to dress a certain way, a nun a certain way, the CEO of a bank, a skater, and so on. The stock image of us is gloomy black black black, but jeans are such a mellow blue.
Stick around, Fli. There's great info on these boards, about style (not the same as fashion), music, literature, and individuality.

Yeah, I guess you're right. About the new thing, anyway... Everyone is bound to ask stupid questions for a bit when they're still new. And I really like the name "Fli" (not sure why), so I guess I'll lay off for a while.

ahhh... yes, I'm not gothic... yet...
I have touchy parents that probably think I betrayed them by wanting being goth and all that.
Sorry for the stupid thread, Fli

Yet?
Tell me, why would you want to "become goth"?

Why is it perfect for you?
Yeah, I know I'm nit-picking, but anyway; can you even mention some "gothic" bands?
I mean, if you don't know them already, it's because you don't like that kind of music. People cannot just choose to train themselves to like a certain type of music.
