How A Goth Girlie Can Rock Chinese New Year Style
Who says anything about ditching the dark side?
Dark queens, assemble!
Traditionally, the vibrant and cheerful vibe of Lunar New Year might seem like the last place for a Goth girlie to thrive. After all, dark colours – basically the Goth uniform – don’t exactly scream "festive." But Goth culture isn’t one-size-fits-all anymore. It’s a mix of everything from Romantic Goth to Cyber Goth to Gothic Lolita and beyond. So, why not channel that CNY energy without ditching your dark side? Here are a few ways to do just that.
