Pastel Goth

Pastel goth is baby pink meeting pitch black: lace, crosses and kawaii motifs with a gothic edge. If you want soft colours with a dark heart, this is your aesthetic.

Mall Goth

Mall goth is pure early-2000s energy: black mesh, chains, plaid and studs, the Y2K grunge look you remember from the food court. Layer it up and own it.

Tenshi Kawaii

Tenshi kawaii (angel kawaii) is the softest of them all: white and pastel, bows, hearts, wings and lace for a sweet angelcore aesthetic.
