Ohhh you do gotta love a good gothic style!
I just love the structured jackets paired with torn vests and skinny dirty jeans with biker boots (which is actually quite a today fashion trend) Its the 80s vibe I love, the slight new romantic yet hair metal rock star status attitude. Oh and the big hair! But lets not forget that they are blood sucking vampire fiends that wanna kill you, not like Buffy or Twilight sexy moody vampires, no no, these are Quentin Tarantino blood spraying esque beasts, yet you can't help feel that this dangerous element is a super style turn on!

As you can see from the pictures above, its the men that get to dress up and look dark gothic and well...dead. So I've flicked through designers collections past and present to find clothes which I would style in The Lost Boys theme.Obviously 'black' is gonna be a recurring element to this style theme, although tones of grey and random splashes of colour soften the harshness of the black. Structured and tailored jackets play key to skinny or hareem trousers. Pairing structual elements with soft drapey items soften the masculine essence. Though masculine vibes are throughout this style is sexy and sexual. These clothes armour the female so she is always ready to pounce on her victim. Feminine elements are dressed with harsh tones of leather, chains, trousers and oversized jackets. There's a mixture of formal and casual yet both have a dirty torn essence. Stylish accessories add to the theme with chunky wedge heels, blackest BLACK sunglasses, gloves, chains, large brimmed hats (obviously to protect from sun rays) Elements of futuristism coinsides within the fabric, cut, make-up and accessories.
