    I feel like whimsigoth is the style I've been looking for since I was a teen in the 2010s! I've always liked a mix of grunge, goth, flowy, and thrifted "ugly" clothing XD.

      It's so funny. This style is so versitile. I love neon colors so I wear them but in a modern witch way. Love moons, suns, bugs, florals and layers. I was very into boho chic with goth vibes as a teen so this is up my alley 😊 Just with tons of colors !!!

    I'm a very young at heart 50 year old woman and for as long as I remember, this has been my favorite way to dress. It just feels more authentic to who I am. I had my career in the corporate world and of course had to dress to fit into that world. Now that I have left that world I've naturally gone back to the whimsigoth dress sense. It is great to be home, may aswell be me, even as an older educated woman

    I'm so glad to see this style is alive and well again. I'm gen X and have been dressing like this since around 1989. Back then it was called fairy goth, fantasy goth or hippy goth. My friends and I loved the style because it made our situation clear; we weren't career girls, we were too busy making jam and chasing fairies in the woods. A few things we did I haven't seen much or anything of lately... cut the feet off knee-high socks to make them arm warmers, or cut the crotch out of tights (black sheer or fishnet) and boom, you got a top. There was a lot of altering, dyeing (tie-dyed nightgowns were IT) and scissor-hacking going on. The '2010s' bag made me laugh as I remember them from the 90s too! 😆

But I gotta say I have gone to corporate meeting for quality control with blue lipstick and huge moon earrings. After a while they get used to it 😅 To me dressing the way you feel helps your productivity!

    An aunt since as long as I can remember, I've always gravitated towards this style. A bit less nowadays because my life requires more practical clothing than long flowy skirts (I've moved in the Ranger direction) but I can't fathom how this is not just The Basic Style that everybody wears at home.

    beeeeeps! i loved this!!!! esp. your analysis at the end. such a good point that our witchy-idols of the 90s were just "normal people" with extraordinary skills. we aspired to be them because we feel, in our heart of hearts, that we're also normal people with something special inside. & it's true! lovely video, friend.

  • @esmeraldagarcia221

    Wow! I used to have so many pieces that could create this aesthetic. I was inspired by Phoebe from friends , Stevie Nicks, as well as the 90s. I now realize I was trying to create this aesthetic, but could never really bring it to fruition. It would either look very 90s, boho, or modern witchy.
    I loved this video! ✨

  • @AnnaMBanana
    @AnnaMBanana Год назад +28

    I have been in love with this aesthetic since the day I was born. As an adult, I've been able to actually work towards a wardrobe that focuses on the kinds of person I am at heart. But, as a slightly chunkier girl with very large breasts, I'm glad you mentioned "skinny white girls" in the negatives. It's not impossible to get this aesthetic if you're not a skinny white girl, but when that's all you see on social media it is a bit intimidating to put together an outfit you're comfortable stepping into public in. I'd love love love to see more people in all shapes sizes and colors embrace this aesthetic! I've tried emulating outfits I've seen, but they just never seem right for me. Layering, for example, is tough with big boobs. It just adds too much bulk. I've started embracing crop tops, but they're sometimes very difficult to style with my body type. It's a struggle, man...

    As a witch and a 90’s kid, I absolutely LOVE that this style is back gaining popularity again. I’ve pretty much dressed like this since I was a kid (lots of layers, lots of cardigans, tons of moons and stars patterns and motifs etc.), so I’m happy to be able to easily find clothes of this style in mainstream stores. Though thrifting is still my preferred method of shopping, it is nice to that more handmade clothing designers are experimenting with this style too.

  • @cinemaocd1752
    @cinemaocd1752 Год назад +7

    As someone who lived through the first iteration of this trend in the 90s, here was the whimsiigoth uniform that I remember: Dark Marten boots with heavy tights, something like velvet or layers of socks and tights...those witch legs get cold riding on brooms. Also stripey socks of course and cat/bat/spider web themes as prints on socks all year long, not just Halloween, A skater skirt or mini dress with a skater skirt, a black mesh top with a black tank top layered over it, jewelry: those crystal ball necklaces on a piece of silky string instead of a chain and Victorian style earrings and rings (with lots of blown glass beads and detailed metal/scrollwork on a silver colored metal of some kind). Black was the basic color but lots of jewel tones paired with black. The elements that looked "off" to me in your outfits were things like denim/chambray/patchwork and the head scarf. All of those things fit into "hippie, granola, bohemian etc. Of course things evolve so it's interesting to see one trend get absorbed into another...

    • @MajICReiki

    Apparently this is a style I wear and have worn for years (YES I still have my fabric Boho messenger bag made in Nepal) and I did not know this was the “name” of this style!
    I love heavy boho skirts from Agan Traders, with combat boots, lots of layering pieces, crystal jewelry, a rancher/boho hat, earthy colors, jewel tones, leather or faux fur, vintage/retro or Victorian nods in styling (teensy bit of Steampunk), moons and stars 🌙💫✨, wild and free hairstyles, scarves in my hair, long pashmina scarves, peasant dresses and 3-tier dresses, butterflies 🦋, and anything handmade or eclectic. My house is filled with houseplants, trees, crystals, essential oils, and natural fibers and textures. 🌿🌲🪴

    I spent all of my teens and half my 20s wearing black. I’m over it. Ironically now in my 30’s I’m into lighter more “youthful” colors, I guess, lots of pastels, but I style them in a very boho-witchy sort of way. Which is why I am soooo into this aesthetic, I mean, first off I absolutely love the 90’s and who doesn’t want to be a witch? The only thing that kinda keeps it from being 100% my favorite, is the use of darker colors mostly. I am just very over the dark colors, been there, done that, I want to wear pink and white for once. So basically I’m like a pastel whimsigoth. I’ve been calling myself a “soft cosmic hippie” for a while now but it’s basically this just…lighter.

    The BAG! I just remembered I actually did have one in HS that I got off a street vendor!
    This whole thing was so my exactly vibe, since I love a long skirt and some (earthy) nature motifs. Bandanas are great too, but I tend to roll them and tie them around my neck- it's a great option if you're going casual and not feeling jewelry and never looks out of place. Also, I got a kick seeing some of my follows, or stuff I've pinned for ages pop up (though I really need to check out Stevie Nicks.)
    If you end up doing another one of those designer videos, Anna Sui would be a cool topic!

    I think its super important to acknowledge that a lot of elements of this style (especially the bohemian parts) are very much taken from Romani culture. I dont think its bad to partake in the aesthetic, but do understand that a lot of it started with taking from Romani culture (and stereotypes 😬) and they are still an incredibly oppressed group. Whimsigoth can never really exist divorced from this influence because its kinda the entire basis for it.

      Well it's important to remember that because of these styles came from literally the 1990s and early 2000s when a certain look was mainstream, it's not surprising that there weren't much of any portrayals of ethnic minorities wearing this style and anecdotally, I don't really recall seeing black girls wearing these kinda looks where I lived growing up (context, I'm 31 years old so I mostly grew up in the mid-late 90s and 00s).
      I think we'll definitely see some minority representation in todays time for sure, there's already a few on social media so the latter will follow with time (hopefully).

    Very nice! Since the 00's I've been a fan of the goth subculture and music; here I don't see that much resemblance to it in spite of the "goth" in the name, but some influence from the 90's goth style can be seen, which I really like, I love the bohemian and vintage influences too and always have liked these deep dark colors. And as for the similarities to the goth music scene, I think some can be found especially in the ethereal/neoclassical darkwave subgenres, such as e.g. Faith and the Muse.

    As someone who was in her 20's in the early 90s - and was a Riot Grrrl, I was also expressly "witchigothic" (still am - mostly). You had a lot good valid points. Some you that that you missed or weren't quite as I remember them (read: subjective - we all have our own perspective, this is mine). You missed the opportunity to layer in tights and/or leggings. These were go-tos... there weren't a lot of bare legs (bellies - yes, shoulders - yes, bozums - yes). Also, while media was skinny girl focused - I can assure you that us curvier girls were definitely on board with this look. Wicca and goddess culture (girl power) was a big part of that time. Lots of missteps by today's standards (i.e. appropriation wasn't something really talked about yet) and of course, much experimentation (like every generation). I think my only other "catch" was there was a LOT less lighter colors than you brought out in your stylings. But that could be where my line between the the "witchy" verusus the "granola" side of that time ended up. I tended to darker colors in fashion but lighter colors in my environment. Anyhoo -- nice synopsis. It's always interesting to see how younger folk view the world as it was when I was their age .... and how our perspectives / opinions align and diverge. :)

    I just realized that so much of this describes my style, except in a much more "masculine", androgynous way. I have several clothing items that are like the ones you talked about, but just with a more masculine cut and not as many skirts or dresses; instead flow pants.
    Fashion is so cool:)

    to create a bunch of dummy accounts just so I can thumbs up this video again and
    again! lol I'm just so glad this aesthetic is trending because as someone who has
    always loved it, it really warms my heart and makes me feel validated that
    others enjoy it too. Way before I knew it was a derogatory slur, I used to call my
    decorating style "victorian g*psy witch" so it's nice to finally have a legitimate,
    respectful name for it. My day to day clothing style is way more practical/comfy
    just because of my job but I always said, if I could, I would dress like Stevie Nicks
    everyday. Gotta save those outfits for my days off.

    So I really appreciate how you went about explaining this style, you were very thorough and you really knew what you were talking about. I only mention the last part because I remember this other video that tried to explain the style and I'm sorry but the person was clueless, didn't know any of the references of what inspired the looks or anything beyond a basic sophomore level so this was a nice surprise to see something so detailed in explanation. I also appreciate how you didn't conflate this with the Goth scene because as someone who actually is a part of it and has been for 16 years now, it really is irritating when people conflate it as some "goth" style when it isn't and has nothing to do with the music-based subculture of Goth at all. So I'm thankful that you referred to the style accurately as "WhimsiGothic" as opposed to "Whimsigoth" because it definitely does fit more into the "Gothic" style what with it having some throwback to the Renaissance period with certain patterns and silhouettes (The peasant blouses and vest-style bustiers).
    And finally I appreciate how you didn't say that this style was some new thing when it's been around for 20+ years, it's just that there was no clear cut name for it back then and I'm just glad you gave credit where credit is due by naming off references that utilized and influenced this style.
    Me personally, I sorta started incorporating some of this kinda stuff last year into my personal style though I admit that I didn't know of the term at the time and was just going off outfits that I liked from shows I was re-watching like 90s Sabrina the Teenage Witch (mostly Aunt Zelda and some of Sabrina) as well as Misty Day with her Bohemian inspired look which I wanted to try for a long while but just never got around to it until last year haha. And of course, I have thrown in some Stevie Nicks inspired influences as well. And just the general 1970s and 1990s in general. Also in much more recent, some nods to Willow from Buffy haha. Honestly the only thing I wish I had more of in my personal wardrobe is more velvet but it's tough finding velvet pieces in my sizes lol.
    But yeah all that said, very nice video, easily one of the best and most respectable analysis for the style out there.

    like with many kind of subculture's fashions it can often be a way for young woman to express their aversion to conformist, sanitized, mechanistic, seemingly soulless society. like you said they want to bring some magic to the world and show that they stand for something different. it is material afterall, but it can be a great gateway for many young women to live an authentic, expressive and artful life. if only we don't stop at the material and become just the same as all other consumerist cultures.
