WHIMSIGOTH Style Guide! 🔮 Outfits, Inspo + Thrift Tips 

When I say I upload videos on Fridays, I mean I begin uploading on Fridays and it takes until Monday to finish the internet at my new place is ROUGH, thank you for bearing with! Hope you enjoyed this look into the Whimsigoth aesthetic 💜✨

I love the 90’s, and was in my 20s then, I am so,glad to see some of this come back. Ani Di Franco was one and still is a favorite. The Crow was a movie we all loved, at the time, and Baz Lurhmans Romeo and Juliet. Velvets from any era can be thrifted for clothes today, and mesh was big, and clowny Mary Jane’s, yes, messy jeans with layers.

This was my 90s wardrobe. I do love the long blue velvet skirt.

Love the throwback pictures! Goth was big while I was in high school too- 1986-1990. We were all dressing like The Cure, The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, etc. Everything old is new again. Love you S! 😺

As a fellow old person very excited about the return of this style, I just want to say, I'm so pleased to see you mention Rasputina. They've been my favourite band for like 20ish years now and they rarely ever get mentioned! Great video! :)

I likewise was a child and teen with little money and not as much agency and am loving being an adult with slightly more (but still not much) money and full control over my wardrobe and absolutely revelling in the Alternative looks that inspired me back then!

you are straight out of an animated movie omg i love your look

I also participated in the aesthetic when it first happened, and I’m so excited that it’s a thing again. I had an ad for a fall makeup line with Brandy in it, that was all witchy vibes and jewel tones, which I hung on my wall for yeaaars.

Yay, loving the witchy aesthetic 🕸🔮 the outfit with black trousers was my favourite, looks so beautiful on you! ❤️

Wow, coming strong out of the gate! So glad you are back and thank you for all the great tips and playlist. We have missed you!

Great tips to pull together all the media for the style. Love the flashback pics❣️

I am so excited about this Spotify playlist 😁❤️ The outfits turned out awesome!

I loved all of the outfits! This kind of style is so cool!

Loved this video honey this style is so you and fits your vibe more than anything you have shown before! The 90s were the best xx

I have a necklace from my childhood exactly like your earring! The one on the left from my point of view. Great Spotify playlist by the way, thank you!

I always love your videos, and yes, you can still make them!!

love u for this

I LOVED Sabrina the Teenage Witch as a kid. I had such a crash on Melissa Joan Hart and Salem was hilarious.

glad you have look books again!

I don't know how I got here, but as soon as you mentioned Rasputina, I subbed- When I saw them, around 1995, they opened for Marilyn Manson, here in Atlanta. I paused the video to write this, but I hope you mention Siouxsie & The Banshees- I saw them at the first Lollapalooza.

I love this so much! I have been looking for a video like this. I'm in my mid 20's now and vastly enjoyed 90's and 2000's media so naturally I feel in live with this sort of life style and look. Plus my older cousin epitimized this sort of look at the time and I wanted to be like her 😂. Thank you for the breakdown and looking at it from multiple areas.

Very cute, I always enjoy any aesthetic where I can live out my cottage witch fantasy ✨🔮

LOVE IT!!! I wasn't quite a whimsigoth growing up, but close.

this video was an instant subscribe

i’ve been into this style for a while now yet i don’t know any good places to get clothes like this,, I usually go to second hand shops and find the odd piece,, im so glad i stumbled across your channel,, i just adore your hair and your cat!! they are so cute!!

Love this 🖤

Moira stealing our hearts once again with those little ears popping up at the bottom of the screen 😍❤ give her a hug from us! Lovely video :)

Outfit 3 is the one I identify with the most or would be most likely to wear, but Outfit 2 makes me SWOON

Merry meet. I'm the same as you, being a whimsy goth back in the 90s and I adore crushed velvet, as it's soft and I prefer dresses cos I've got a tummy lol

Another term I like is Strega. Love all your outfits. Also I shall be using “workasing” from now on, especially when my boss asks me what I’m up to 😂

I've always loved this type of media and aesthetic. Hard agree on rasputina. I love the year without a summer and I've been listening to in old Yellowcake on repeat since I was just a young lad. I would definitely say the sundays and shoegaze as a genre too

The cure !!

Check out Aurelio Voltaire for music. He actually has recorded a bit with Rasputina. And his songwriting is excellent.

Love this video and this style! 🕯🔮Check out Inkubus Sukkubus! They are an English goth and pagan rock band 🦇🎸 and one of my absolute favs! 🖤

That looks like my Louie. Sadly, he passed away on 9/26/2023 just short of his 19th birthday. 😢 I am Gen-X. I was a Goth in the mid 80s. I never really liked all black all the time though. This is more interesting.

The smashing pumpkins as well.

What do think of Emilie Autumn ???

Cats don’t have hands. So they use their tail to touch their people. Hope this helps.

I cant find nice ethical brands around me I'll have to order online most of the time. Plus i need it to be modest and plus size so :") cry in pain

So as someone who actually does like the look and was intrigued that there finally came a term for this look that has been around since the 90s, I do have to give some slight criticism on a few misconceptions, specifically this whole "goth" thing. Please don't take this as an attack, merely just educating because in all fairness, this isn't the only video I've see misinformation about it's supposed tie to "goth" in. Anyway the truth of the matter is that this style has absolutely nothing to do with goth. Goth is a music-based scene that has it's own specific sound that defines it and more importantly, the look of goth traces back to the music as the style that the fans of the music dressed in was inspired by the musicians playing the music. To give a short and abridged note on goth music, bands like Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim, The Mission UK, and Switchblade Symphony (circa 1995 Serpentine Gallery before they went onto dark style Trip Hop) to name a few. And from the "look" of goth, the "trad" look was created and influenced in the 80s with bands like Bauhaus, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Virgin Prunes, and Xmal Deutschland, the 90s with "romantic goth" inspired by bands like London After Midnight (specifically John Koviak), Rosetta Stone, The Shroud (Lydia Fortner), and Diva Destruction, Deahrock from bands like All Gone Dead, Scarlet's Remains, Ausgang, and Tragic Black and "Nu Goth" in the 2010s with bands like Lebanon Hanover, Ash Code, She Past Away, and Drab Majesty. I only mention the music aspect because you mentioned Rasputina and referred to them as "goth" and they really aren't. And keep this in mind, I used to LOVE Rasputina, I'm actually delighted to see that some more people out there remember them, they were so unique! Anyway yeah, Rasputina had nothing to do with the goth scene, they were just a cello rock band that utilized a dark (and ethereal) aesthetic and dark =/= goth, goth doesn't have a stranglehold on all things dark haha. (Sidenote since you mentioned Rasputina, did you ever listen to Emilie Autumn? Her "Opheliac" era was wild lol) Anyway I digress, the point I'm trying to convey here is that this whole "whimsigoth" is a misnomer with trying to tie it to goth when it has nothing to do with it and is purely based in a mix of 90s fashion with some bohemian elements. That's why those of us in the goth scene frown upon the term "whimsiGOTH" because we see the misappropriation in it and it's why we refer to it as "whimsiGOTHIC" because Goth and Gothic are not the same and it's clear that some of the look does take inspiration from the Gothic period of the 12th century what with the use of garments like peasant blouses and embroidered bustiers. All in all I hope this all made sense! But yes ,I am a big fan of the Whimsigothic and it's nice that there is a cute little term for this style after it going 2 decades without a name except for vague terms like "90s", "witchy", or "boho", now it has a specific term that helps describe it.

So excited to see this style coming back around the fashion orbit ✨🪐🌞🌛💫 I love how you approach these style videos-going beyond the aesthetic into the vibes with music, media, and self reflection ✨💛✨ Thank you for sharing with us 💌💌💌
