Zooming around the street fashion blog world for wannabe-time agents I found a nice post on La Carmina, delivering this two pics of "goth aristocracy" and a blurb about this style:
"The male counterpart to Gothic Lolita fashion goes by many names: dandy, boystyle, ouji, elegant gothic aristocrat..."
However all the images are of girls (maybe?).
Its a very androgynous look, however, and boys I'm sure look great in this stuff...
Here we have a dashing young dandy, with a top notch Zero-Era jacket and leggings,
but the stripes and the sneaks should be avoided!
Fake riding boots would have been a better choice.
And while the puffy shirt is fine, the new-romantic Klaus Nomi cut is a bit extreme,
it wouldn't quite fit in at a party in 1630's Vienna, now would it?
I like the necklace, but perchance it hangs too low?
Yaargh! This is an amazing overcoat! It could work as a pirate, a longshoreman,
a poor merchant, a soldier... The lettering would have to go, of course...
Hmm, the satchel seems to fit in, minus logo. I will have to research
seamen's personal attaches throughout the ages now...
back to the costume history books at the library!
Oh, and BTW - the pressed oxford and hip ska tie give the game away completely!
Better options are an undershirt with a waistcoat and ascot or handkerchief.
Mmm gothy! I think next post will be about Zero-Era boots for men and women!
