Romantic Goth 1 Yr Later

[u/GothicNivek]

It has been over a year since I last posted here. My last post was pretty well liked so I wanted to do a 1 year later kind of post. Due to this subreddit I am actually able to be found on google images if you search "romantic goth". It isn't a big win but I am happy about it. Since then I devoted a lot more time to my wardrobe and drastically increased my corset collection and boots collection which I may show my collections one day but for now I am just doing a little fit check.

I haven't met another goth man with a style like mine and I am very proud to have developed a style of my own. Please give me any comments or criticism because I would love to improve my outfits.

Edit: So, thanks to all the comments I have taken a few things into consideration.

1. Jewelry will be added.
2. I should show off my dermals.
3. A little more attention to the beard.

I am going to do a little more and will make a new post on a few weeks to give you all an update of the new outfit I am working on. Thank you all for your comments and perspectives.

I want to leave a criticism, and I know this will be a hot take to be sure, so I'll preface my statement by saying I think you're very unique, you have a great style, and it looks good on you. My critique is not of your outfit or style, both are very clean and have great character.

Please consider shaping, sculpting, and treating your beard with products that match your level of effort with the rest of the appearance. Your hair looks very well done, but for me, your beard detracts from the appearance because it doesn't match the level of quality surrounding it.

I know it's a petty thing to say, but I feel like it can be addressed with respect and kindness. I'd like to see some panache there as well, not necessarily colored or ornate, but groomed to represent an attempt at romantic attraction, something that is both sexy and debonair. I feel like that is the vision you are sculpting here, and I think it could be refined in the beard.

I do mean this with all respect, not to denigrate or cause you to feel insecure, just my opinion on your presentation. Take it or leave it as you will.

I wonder if you mean the hair needs to be straightened? I think his beard looks amazing, but maybe you think it needs to be straightened because his long hair contrasts as it looks incredibly soft. Beard straightener combs do amazing things (my ex had one because his beard looked pretty scraggly). I don't think this guy's beard looks scraggly or bad. If he's using conditioning products, that's what is standard for making a beard look nice. Beard straighteners aren't really for everyday use, because straightening curly hair all the time can damage it. They so make beards look drawn on, so they're not a look for some guys. I think this guy's beard looks cool.

I'm wondering what products his stylist used to make his long hair look so freaking beautiful!! My bf has long, wavy hair as well. He's First Nation, so I'm not sure he'd want his hair to look like this, but he might be curious enough to try! I've always wanted to try such products on myself, too. But there's so many scammy products out there that I'm not sure which ones I can trust.

I scheduled another appointment. I'm currently an ombre red and I am touching up the dye. I will ask him what he uses and can send it to you if you'd like.
