For those who like heavy fabrics and monochromatic colors, there may be considerable trauma in summer: after all, patent leather and duchesse satin are hardly suitable for heat waves, and seasonal adjustments to make fifty blacks can be tricky. But it’s not impossible to dress like a goth in hot weather: from Kim Kardashian’s Yeezy patenting to Susie Bick’s lace Victoriana or Michele Lamy’s Rick Owens to showcase the ubiquitous flowers dress.

Remember a few years ago, when brands like Nasir Masar and Cottweiler supported the future dystopia, suddenly everyone started using the word “health” to refer to their surreal brand? Well, this avatar is a bit different – not the kind of high-conceptual spirit, which is more like the street dress of Lydia Deetz. Think about the kind of clothes you can wear (easy to sweat in the heat), made of high-tech, with a slight BDSM twist, you can do it successfully.

Nineties GothIcons: Bella Hadid, Hailey Baldwin, Kendall Jenner
Gothic in the 1990s was what it called tin: oversized dark denim, lycra cropped tops and Matrix sunglasses. The nylon renaissance that embraces Prada is the key – those spaghetti straps with mini dresses are just as good on the beach as the runway – fortunately, everyone can now choose a large number of black bastards. Update its key? Flashing neon, clean face (dense black eyeliner is not only a bit outdated, but a nightmare in this weather) and awkward attitude – Hailey Baldwin is more than Thora Birch.

Victorian GothIcons: Jaimie Bochert, Daphne Guinness, Susie Cave
Of course, the Victorian aesthetic is the most traditionally recognized sub-class of fashion Gothic – although its pearly affluence does not immediately form a summer spirit, but there are some very attractive things – and it’s easy – dressed in black Lace or sheer gauze, a little bit below. In addition, piles of antique jewellery can work regardless of the weather. Check out Susie Cave, or Daphne Guinness, for inspiration across seasons – then just remove the layer. Summer defense.

Fashion Gothic is the one who celebrates Rick Owens’ most instructive (Michele Lamy can contribute to avant-garde regardless of the weather); invest in Commedes Garçons exhibits; or piece together The Row’s stiff sculptures with pride and impeccable . Basically: a completely stylish look, just slightly suitable for the weather, but still great. Do you know how Olsens piled up with Birkins, cashmere and hot latte in mid-July?
