Get out your black nailpolish and Cure CDs...

...Because goth is back. This is a key look for fall, playing into fashion's tough streak. Of course, you need lots of black, some truly gothic motifs that harken back to the middle ages, and some shine. Skulls are passé, but weapons, teeth, and talons are macabre touches that still seem at least somewhat fresh. In order to avoid the Morticia Addams look, keep the silhouette sharp and crisp, and don't be afraid to show some skin. If you do it right, it's clean, modern, and hints just a little bloodlust.
