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
Same same same!!!
Same here too!!!
53, and yeah. We could so swap closets. My small work closet, tailored suits with stovepipe leg trousers some twinsets.
My LIFE closet? All this, evolving happily since about 1988. 😊😊😊
Jjjep!
59!
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.
WE LOVE UGLY COMFY CLOTHES
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 !!!
Sameee, i feel so seen now tbh i love it
It's also very age inclusive. I can see a 10 year old girl playing with this as well as older 60+ women ( who pioneered it in the first place) and everyone in between. They will all look great and make it suit their lifestyle.
Still rocking it at 63 here!❤
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! 😆
@@beepwrld oh yay the leg wear for arms lives!! 😆 I'm still discovering the whimsygoth world, I only just learned of the term and have been getting by on searches for dark boho 😅
omg we loved that tights as a top thing. i feel so nostalgic seeing it come back.
On that Part! I need Friends like yours in my Life🤭
I'm definitely wearing parts of this style but more boho and neon/colorful. I bet you looked amazing all these years🌻🌻🌻 It's such a universal and adaptable style. 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!
The goth community still does the tights top rhings alot for fishnet tops n such!
I like to think of it as goth but with colours
More casual goth than romantic goth, just romantic goth without corset 😆
Goth already includes color! Typically darker ones, but still. And originally, goth used a lot of neon colors.
Yes!
@@MademoiselleCl3 you can had a corset ,i do it on top of a boho dress...
Can we please make a mention of « The Craft »? The costuming in that movie is absolutely fantastic and iconic for the Whimsy gothic look
Ugh yess!!!! I love the craft, it’s one of my favorite movies!! I Especially love😊 their beautiful outfits
I’m glad I’m not the only “older lady” watching this! I graduated high school in 1990, and have been dressing like this since the late 80s. I still have a high Level career, but I incorporate what I can while still looking professional. But off the clock, I’m all in! 💫🌙💫
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! ✨
"psychologically uncomfortable" who, ME?! COULDN'T BE!
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.
I just love jewel tones
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...
My F cup and I agree 😭
im whimsygothic and a size 16- im not sure what size you are and it for sure is a little harder, but i feel i pull it off at my size and i hope that inspires you 🤎
@forestfairy8025 omg it does inspire me, thank you!!! 💕💕💕 I've been slowly working my way into it, I've got some nice pieces that fit the aesthetic well that I feel confident in. I appreciate you and your words of encouragement ✌️💕
It's always funny to find out that all my different clothing styles seem to have a name and a subculture in the English-speaking world...
You have to mention Kate Bush if you are going to talk about Whimsy Goth!! She rocked this look for ages :)
1). Yes! The 2010s patchwork slouchy bag brought me back.
2). Your blush looks so pretty in this video. The apricot on your skin tone? 10/10
3). Love that you touched on the cultural/political implications of this style. My fav vid so far
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.
ah yes, the Cool Witchy Auntie look.
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.
Oh my goodness! I’ve been trying to find the correct name for this style for SO long! This style is me at my core, I feel like it’s so true to who I am. I’m so glad I finally have a name to look up so I can find all the pieces to craft my dream wardrobe 😭😭🤍🤍
ugh that bag,im here for the craft revival aesthetic but i so quickly shuttered and turned off the lights when THAT BAG showed up. art school trigged nightmares
The patterns got me. At a distance, a white top. But the lace up close.
The lacy corset top is mostly black, but there's roses. Cute cute cute.
If there's anything to add, tights! I know efashion seems to own tights right now, but sage and maroon. Even sheery black tights.
this is definitely my style.. fully inspired by the medieval revival and garage rock of the 60s. bell sleeves, lace, square/sweetheart necklines... and spiral motifs ofcourse
I DESPARATELY wanted “the bag” as a teen! As someone who isn’t a huge fan of black and darker fashion, this is a cool way for me to shake things up and incorporate things I’m comfortable with (patterns, funky fabrics) with an edgier side of fashion.
The makeshift Hamtaro microphone is giving me so much joy!
This explanation is PHENOMENAL!!! You covered all the bases!
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. 🌿🌲🪴
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...
I've been dressing like this since the 90s with a more darker/goth vibe, i was both a 90s kid then teen. I lived and still live this life, haven't stopped and won't be stopping.
me too! 🌻
I love this aesthetic, I only heard the term recently and was calling my style "bohemian goth." I do carry a bit over from the goth style as well as the gothic era.
For years I've been dressing in this style and with it's recent rise in popularity it's nice to finally know a name to call my style
This is perfect!
I've always been drawn to anything bohemian/witchy/grunge but never quite knew what you'd call it. 😍
I had two of those bags and I wore them to literal stitches 😭😭😭 I LOVED those bags
This makes me smile, I’ve dressed like this since high school….in the 70’s. Of course our denim was bell bottom back then. I’m white haired now (but it’s still long). For many years I was “out of style” but this is just me. I sew so I’ve always made my own clothes.
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.
That’s a great term to describe your style….
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!
My best friend and I have been calling this hippie Goth/boho Goth since the Tumblr days so discovering the term ‘whimsigoth’ was a boon. Definitely a cuter name. 🌛
I love how in addition to the actual outfit segment you served looks while talking as well! Good job on introducing this style to someone like me who hasn't paid much attention to it. I sat through the whole video being well entertained while gaining new information~
Thank you so much for explaining whimsy gothic concept. It's been my favorite for a very long time :)
love your hair in this video!! looks so good xx
Can you please talk about iranian/persian aesthetic and style???
It's actually very beautiful and kind of underrated.
I would be very thankful if you would cover this genre!!❤❤❤❤❤
You gave so many great looks! I love this aesthetic especially compared to the more plain looking clean girl or coastal grandma aesthetics.
Finally, I found the name of my style! Anytime someone asks me about my style I never find a suitable name to it. Thanks so much for doing the research and breaking it down:) much love from Germany!!
I think you perfectly explained this style trend! I personally LOVE whimsigoth and feel like it describes my personal style to a T, so I loved watching this video! I never thought about the reasons why its become popular now, so that was cool to think about! thank you for making this video!!
This was fascinating, thank you! I dressed like this in the 90's but body issues/plus size kept me from full self expression. Now at 55, I have found myself lost as far as clothes/style are concerned, hiding away in things I don't like. But I recently realised that clothes can be part of my magical practice too. I had no idea there was a name for the style I was looking for but I knew I would know it when I saw it - this is it! It's going to be so much fun to make my outside look like how I feel on the inside.
Your entire analysis feels so spot on! I love this ❤
Love the video! Love the look as well. I have waist length salt and pepper hair and I wear a lot of the styles that are considered boho, witchy (Stevie Nicks) and regardless of my age I still wear dangling earrings, stones, feathers and a lot of silver.
@@beepwrld My clients love it, my husband not so much! lol
My mother has always worn this kind of style (she's in her 60s now) and I'm about to turn 30 and wear it too! So much fun but still dark and we always focus heavily on thrifting/making almost all of it!
Rachel True from Half and Half is another fashion icon with this aesthetic ❤
I love whimsigoth! I always liked fairy grunge but I knew that I needed to alter it in some way to make it better for me so the witchy vibe with whimsigoth saved me
that figurine you have on top of your mic, I had the exact same toy when I was a kid. I remember it so vividly - this video is the first one that I clicked when searching for whimsical styles!
I like this type of video! I enjoy some academics sprinkled in :-) Nice job!!
I do really like this aesthetic, and how it is mostly positive and much less appropriative than others. Yay, positive nostalgia!
This video is SO well done! I’ve seen others do whimsigoth videos and they showed good examples but did not put together whimsigoth outfits at all. I was pretty disappointed but you did so well! As soon as the whimsigoth word popped up I was like “yes this is me!! I love this!” It so pretty but comforting.
Note to self: buy scarves
I am so glad this is come back and I love your hair
I didn’t know this aesthetic had a name but it’s always been a favourite of mine, I don’t really wear it myself but I aim to do it a little more
OMG! I finally have a NAME for my style and a DIRECTION for my wardrobe!!! THANK YOU!
your channel is literally the best thing ever
You had me at Practical Magic. Thank you for this video.. and also thank you for being real about the negs
I absolutely love this aesthetic and I'm so happy to see it everywhere! It makes me happy! ❤
i just found your channel in the last week and have been watching a bunch of your videos and i gotta say this was one of my favorite videos from you!! really loved the way you explained things and it was so fun to follow along! thank you for the ~academical vibes~ 💚
That sparkly bell sleeve dark blue top was just stunning. No words really. It really sums up the 90s for me. I used to wear bell sleeve tops a lot, and I remember some sparkly items I had.
This is great content. I love the format and how you move through the video and explain things.
Hum. I think I love you? I kinda wish this video went on for even longer! You explained and demonstrated everything so thoughtfully - I'm turning 32yo this summer and been feeling in a "meh" space with my personal style and I've been digging through it for some time now, and come to discover some things I like, which all align to this *whimsigoth* aesthetic. So I'm thrilled to have stumbled upon this video of yours! Please, make more videos like this one exploring other aesthetics!
This is EXACTLY what I wanted/thought I looked likr as a elementary/middle schooler. Absolutely ADORE experimrnting with layering, patterns, and flowy figures!! I just am a tad hesitant as a mid to plus sized queer gendered individual...... However, I can't wait to see it grow as gen Z starts to really dive into it 🎉
Loved the vid, thanks so much for covering this amazing aesthetic! Btw the black velvet hat totally pulled the outfit together, imo x
"We're Experts At This Point." I love that haha
First, super fun video, loved all the information! I'm most impressed with the seamless audio across multiple takes! Great production quality!
thank you for this video! this aesthetic resonate with me on a spiritual level I'm so happy!!
Love your videos, I always get excited when you post a new one! 💖
I just found your channel and im in love!! Also I absolutely love this style, it's all my personality's in 1.
i just came across your channel and this video had just been uploaded, lovely coincidence. i loved the outfits you put together,
Love love love this style !!
I deeply appreciate this video.
Yesssss this is my absolute soul level aesthetic and I’m trying to transition my wardrobe to it!! Makes sense too that so many of my favorite musicians/actresses/characters wear it ☺️ also I know this is an old video, but hot damn your hair looks so good platinum!!
i LOVE this style so much
This IS my aesthetic!!! Has been for years. Awesome video. Thanks so much!! (Jan Griffiths).
Thank you so much for this!! I've been looking for this exact thing but never actually knew what it would be called!!
I really like your analysis of the aestetic. Covid, idealizing the everydaylife, nature, the power. I love it!
okay wow i LIVE for this video!!!!
This was the perfect rundown! I was teen at the end of this era, and still have flannel celestial sheets from when I went to college.
I use sheets all the time to make kimonos, dusters, tops, purses, etc. 😊
Your celestial earrings are so pretty! Light-blue flowy skirt is adorable. Thank you for this interesting video! New subscriber.
this style is eveything! i lovee 😻😻
Such an informative video wow great job!! 😳
Oooo I love the patchwork dress look
I was born in late 1996 & ohh how I wish I could have been in my 20s during the mid to late 90s. This aesthetic is incredible. Plus all of the best shows & witchy movies from this time had the best outfits 😩😩🌜🌞 🔮
Ah yes, this takes me back to my teens. I was a teen in the mid to late 90's and I have some pieces in wardrobe that would go in well with this aesthetic. I am so glad.
So cool! Love this video and your content! 😁
I just want to scream how gorgeous your handmade patchwork dress is.
AAAAAAAAAAAH STUNNING!!!
Thank you, I’m done
My aesthetic 🫶🏾🤭 also just subscribed because your energy is so cute but also when you called out the potential cultural appropriation and 2010s boho trend lol
I'm always down for dressing like Stevie Nicks or Phoebe Buffay!
Sooo pretty ✨🌱
How many more words are there going to be to describe hippie fashion? Because that's essentially what this is.
Love the first two outfits, I have a purse just like that. 8 also love the last outfit you had on during the analysis
obsessed w the hamtaro mic 🥺
I never realized there was a word for the way I dressed! Thank you! New sub! 🌙 🤗
The whimsigothical interior trends are also to die for, I think. Love to be weird on purpose!
i’ve never heard of this aesthetic before (i can never keep up with all the new aesthetics these days haha) but this was so interesting!!
I loved this, thanks
This is great I would love more vids like this
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:)
omg this one is so me. i love lisa bonet, anita pallenburg, stevie nicks etc. that glam rock, boho, rock chick, mystical vibe is my go-to. it goes a little boho hippie tribal when i'm by the beach as well. also great breakdown of why this look is so appealing now, i do think humanity is waking up to our spiritual power more and more and especially with the events of the last few years and the increasing levels of disclosure people are becoming much more interested in studying occult wisdom.
I still have two of those bags, love them.
Knocked it out of the park! I love this video so much I'm fighting the urge
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.
Amazing video!! Always down for more of your analyses
