Valentine's Day is a day filled with hearts, flowers, and all things pink. But what if you're a goth? How do you navigate through a sea of red and white when your soul is more black and brooding? Fear not, fellow goth, for this blog post is here to guide you through the treacherous waters of Valentine's Day with your dark and mysterious style intact.
1. Embrace the Dark Side of Love
While others may be swooning over cheesy rom-coms and heart-shaped chocolates, you can revel in the beauty of gothic romance. Embrace the dark side of love with your favourite Edgar Allan Poe poems or a marathon of Tim Burton movies. Who needs a sappy love story when you have "The Raven"?
2. Black is the New Red
While red may be the colour of love, black is the colour of your soul. Embrace your gothic style with dark romantic attire on Valentine's Day. Whether it's a flowing black dress, a full on bride of Dracula lace ensemble, or a pair of ripped black jeans with an anti-valentine's tee, let your inner darkness shine.
3. Alternative Valentine's Day Cards
Instead of the typical cheesy Valentine's Day cards, have you checked out our alternative versions? They are left blank inside so you can write poetic and cryptic messages that only a fellow goth would understand. What goth Valentine is complete without a black rose or a bat motif.
4. Dark and Moody Dinner
Skip the candlelit dinner at a fancy restaurant and opt for a dark and moody dinner at home. Set the mood with dim lighting, gothic music, and a menu filled with your favourite foods. Who needs champagne when you can have a glass of red wine? (Or in my case, purple cider!)
5. Anti-Valentine's Day Party
If you're not in the mood for romance, why not throw an anti-Valentine's Day party? Invite your friends over for a night of black attire, spooky decorations, and music that makes your heart skip a beat. Who needs love when you have good company and a killer playlist?
So, don't let Valentine's Day bring you down. Embrace your dark and mysterious style, and celebrate love in your own unique way. Whether you're spending the day alone or with someone special, remember that being a goth on Valentine's Day is all about embracing your true self and finding beauty in the darkness.
