What makes a piece gothic here
Gothic, punk or grunge
The three overlap and the difference is material and line rather than colour. Gothic leads with fabric and length: velvet, brocade, lace, a long or fitted silhouette, and hardware that stays matte. Punk leads with hardware and distressing on denim, tartan and PU. Grunge is looser, more worn-in, and built on flannel and washed denim.
| Gothic | Punk | Grunge | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fabric | Velvet, brocade, lace | Denim, tartan, PU | Flannel, washed denim |
| Line | Long, fitted | Short, sharp | Loose |
| Hardware | Matte, restrained | Studs, chains | Minimal |
| Reads as | Romantic, formal | Confrontational | Casual |
Sizing
Asian sizing runs roughly one size below EU and US for women and two for men. Gothic pieces are the most fitted in the range, particularly through the bodice and shoulder, so order from the centimetre table rather than a letter size.
