Gothic jewellery adds edge to any outfit, and it doesn't have to stay in the drawer once Halloween is over. The trick is to let one dark statement piece lead and keep the rest of the look simple.
Start with a choker
A velvet-look choker is the easiest way in. Wear the Midnight Bat Velvet Choker or the Crimson Sacred Heart Velvet Choker with a plain black top or a simple knit so the pendant stands out.
Try a snake or symbol pendant
For something more wearable on a weekday, a longer pendant reads less costume. The Ankh Cross Snake Pendant Necklace has an antiqued gunmetal finish that works over a white T-shirt or a black jumper.
Make your hands the statement
- Silver Statement Knuckle Ring: one bold ring is enough. Pair it with dark nails.
- Skeleton Hand Bracelet & Ring Set: the boldest piece in the edit. Keep other jewellery minimal when you wear it.
- Sculptural Snake Wire Arm Cuff: looks great with short sleeves or a sleeveless top.
Three easy rules
- One hero piece per outfit. A choker or a skeleton hand, not both.
- Keep the outfit plain. Black, grey and denim let dark jewellery shine.
- Match your metal. Silver and gunmetal together look cohesive.
Finish the look with a dark lip and a sharp liner like the Maybelline Tattoo Liner. Shop more in necklaces and accessories.
