The Best Black Leggings

Heathyoga leggings are the best black leggings! They have pockets and 4-way stretch. No dreaded camel toe or thin see-through material here. Heathyoga leggings are like $14 on Amazon and Amazon even has a coupon you can clip for them to save more. By comparison, Killstar leggings are around $20 on sale, up to $52 a pair.

The Best Black Shorts

ODODOS shorts are the best black shorts! Only the ones sold by ODODOS, though. They’ve got 4-way stretch as well, no see through, no camel toe. However, when I have accidentally bought from other sellers in the same listing, the shorts are NOT the same quality, they’re a cheaper, thinner material and not the same sizing at all. I wear size small in the ODODOS name brand. In the knock offs I couldn’t fit the size small over my hips. I also noticed the knock offs did not say ODODOS on them.

The real ODODOS shorts are solid black except for the words ODODOS at the center of the back, which are very small and can be covered by a patch. As I mentioned in the video, ODODOS shorts are about $17. When compared to Killstar shorts at $52, I personally prefer ODODOS.

Office Professional Gothic Fashion Inspiration Lookbook

Need help with corporate goth fashion inspiration? Check out my office professional gothic lookbook. I had to learn how to shop goth at department stores a long time ago, because in 1999 there wasn’t nearly the selection available like we have now. PattyBoutik is the big brand I look to on Amazon for office wear, but they also have great staple pieces too.

Summer Goth Fashion Inspiration Lookbook

My first ever gothic lookbook featured a lot of Killstar and Torrid, but also some indie designers. Check out my first gothic fashion inspiration lookbook.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Inspired Fashion Lookbook

The most recent lookbook I created was inspired by the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina tv series on Netflix. It’s a dark re-imagining of Sabrina and I stuck to magical witch / vampire inspired fashion. The outfit above is the most ‘festival wear’ of all, because of the awesome rainbow kimono.
