Accessories: choosing and fitting
Pick one focal point
Accessories here are drafted to be combined, but not all at once. A choker at the neck, a harness across the chest and a headdress above all compete for the same attention. Choose one focal point and let the others stay quiet: a wide velvet choker with plain gloves reads better than three statement pieces together.
| Piece | Sits at | Fit | Reads as |
|---|---|---|---|
| Choker | Base of neck | Neck + 2 cm | Gothic or punk |
| Harness | Chest or waist | Adjustable range | Punk, fetish |
| Headdress | Crown | Comb or elastic | Gothic, occasion |
| Gloves | Hand to elbow | Hand length | Gothic, romantic |
Fit
Chokers close with a lobster clasp and an extender chain: measure your neck and add two centimetres. Harnesses and belts are sized by adjustment range, measured over the clothes they will be worn with. Gloves and headdresses carry their own tables.
Frequently asked
- How tight should a choker be?
- Snug enough to stay at the base of the neck, loose enough to slide a finger underneath. Measure your neck and add two centimetres.
- Can you wash a velvet choker?
- No. Wipe with a dry cloth. Water marks the pile permanently.
- Are harnesses worn over or under clothes?
- Over. They are visible layering pieces designed to add structure.
- How many accessories at once?
- One focal point, the rest quiet. Three statement pieces together compete rather than combine.
