What Is the Whimsigoth Aesthetic? + Styling 5 Outfits! | Kayla Marie 

back when i was growing up, nothing had a name - especially clothing styles. now, 30 years later when it's become popular again, EVERYTHING has a name and i love it because it's easier to pinpoint what style exactly you're searching for when you go shopping . and that goes for both clothing and dècor

I love this style, I already thought I was making up "bohemian goth" but there is an actual aesthetic, whimsigoth. Now I have more inspriation.

This captures exactly what I like/ am going for aesthetically and I had no idea this existed, thank you!

Also, if it appeals to you, I think it would be really fun to do a version of this where you take us through the whole process. Pick the aesthetic from a hat, take us along on your research a bit, maybe show us if you make something (not a tutorial, just some clips), and then build the outfits so we can see your process. I know it would be a lot of work but I think it'd be so fun 😊

Filming outside where you're standing was perfect. The wind blowing the leaves and your skirts added a touch of magic. I like your style!

The one that you felt was most costume-y was the only one that I think really hit it. There's an element that feels very textured, layered, or has a drama/boldness that creates depth that this was missing. Not that I feel the outfits were bad, they just read very... neat/restrained (?) in a way that would have made them difficult to read without the context.

You suit this aesthetic beautifully.

The burgundy and spirit Halloween one was my favorite

I sat up in bed so fast when I saw the vintage one you were wearing, because I realized I have one incredibly similar to it! It's 2 in the morning as I'm watching this, but I MUST recreate that outfit immediately 😂🧡

Wow I have never heard of this aesthetic but it is throwing me back to my childhood in the 90s! You did such a great job portraying this aesthetic. Hit me right in the nostalgia. I love all the pieces you made, and am surprised I like this aesthetic. Usually I stick to cottagecore/dark academia/prairie chic. But yes. This is a perfect spooky season aesthetic. So impressed you pulled most of these items from your closet!

this style is so distinct and original which makes it hard to introduce when you have no required clothes - I have only one top that could be of use. I'd have to rearrange my whole closet to wear this style. it's a pity, bc I personally adore it!

Such a cute aesthetic! You looked amazing in all of the outfits!

Really love this kind of video! So much inspiration. You look beautiful in every outfit!!

Yay! Thanks for making this video! Whimsigoth is such a fun aesthetic!

Your jewellery is so cute for this aesthetic! Nicely done.

I wish I had your wardrobe! Dresses and skirts are just 💖💖💖

Lovely video!! I didn’t know this was a style aesthetic. I have been trying to make my wardrobe very “practical magic” vibes. Thanks for the inspiration! ✨ 🌙

Loved all of your outfits! You gave me some ideas and inspiration.

Wonderful outfits! I adore this style ❤

Really enjoyed the video :) Great explanations and inspirational images!

I just heard about this a couple weeks ago and have been obsessed since! I was so glad to see your post 😊

Yay!!! You did whimsigoth! Great video !❤❤

I was a teen/early 20s in the 90s, so I'm going back to the fashion that I love. Also now, in my late 40s black hides my flabby bits lol

Would love to see your vision of both Goblincore and Downtown Girl. I just found your channel and love it!

2nd dress is beautiful! All the outfits are cute!

Very cool video and great production value!

this was so far the best video ever!!! i love whimsigoth aesthetic!! greatings from uruguay

The first outfit is my fav, browns and blacks, peasant skirts! I'm yet to get brown boots 😭🤩

New subbie here! Love your laid back style and lovely outfits. Would love to see you present a Helena Bonham Carter aesthetic!!!!

I actually think the white converse look really good with the last outfit! My first instinct would have been to wear black shoes too, but let's be real most of my clothes and shoes are black anyways 😂 I think the white converse give the outfit a little bit of a unique, quirky vibe because they're unexpected! 💕

Loved your hair buns, they looked so cute you should style your hair more often looks beautiful

Your second outfit was absolutely STUNNING. It looks so perfect on you. You look amazing

I'm this was an actual aesthetic BUT thus aesthetic is definitely one of my major vibes! I loved every look! & I can't wait to start intentionally doing some looks ,😍

I kinda fell into this bc I wanted to dress more for my color season(dark autumn) as a recovering goth who’s obsessed with Buffy the vampire slayer and the first Halloweentown movie lol I love it I didn’t know it had a name!!

Okay How do I coin Halloween 🎃 Cottagecore 😂 where we make our own Spooky Corset Vests & Skirts?

I’m 51 and never stopped dressing this way 😂

You look really good

10:50 you mentioned doing at-home dry cleaning stuff? Is this a process or using special products? Would appreciate a video showing how to do this!

Me, me, I'm the one who wants to start with criticism:D I love this aesthetic, but I also feel like the main inspiration is how sedentary Europeans see Romani people; so, not how Romani women actually dress, but how we imagine them dressing themselves - ssso, basically stereotypes. I see a lot of Esmeralda from Disney's Hunchback of Notre-Dame/ tarots/ hand-reading women in Verdi's La Traviata in this aesthetic. And again, I actually love the silhouette, colour palette, celestial symbolism of this aesthetic, but I do see it as kind of appropriative. Then again I'm not Romani nor I know Romani people in person, so maybe this is all in my head, and I'd love to hear from better informed people about this. Anyway my only worry for now is that if this aesthetic is derivative of Romani culture it should be acknowledged, I'm not implying that the aesthetic must be cancelled or anything, for what I know Romani people are fine with it. Or I'm simply wrong and there's no derivation at all. (Btw English is my second language so I'm not sure if the word is actually "Romani", I've googled it and I've also seen "Roma" being used, point is I hope I haven't been accidentally disrespectful with my choice of words.)

This is my aesthetic.

Hi kayla

I don't like or do goth, witch, magic, zodiac, etc but I do like the skirts and floral dress.

You gotta stop dogging your shoe options, what you have is great! It’s not about brands or exact designs, it’s all about the vibe. In Practical Magic, Sally does her iconic run scene in a pastel floral skirt, black cardi-cami set, and white Keds tennis shoes. Your black boots are FANTASTIC, and would have worked with almost every outfit you put together. The brown ones were great too, and also fit the style quite well. Anyway, you did great! And I was a teenager when the look was first born, and I wanted to dress like that so badly!

Consumer aesthetics research institute??? Wow

Please please stop using the word Bohemian it's exactly like saying oriental to mean Asian it's really not politically correct. It's Romani. Also the work your looking for the spirit Halloween witch dress is called a bat wing sleeve dress and you can get in stores easy. It's a goth look dress a good staple for a goth
