TIKTOK TREND: WHIMSIGOTH

Ever wondered what it’d look like if cottagecore 🌼 and 90s goth 🥀 had a baby? Welcome to whimsigoth: the aesthetic that’s been all over your FYP recently. It’s giving the witchy energy of iconic 90s shows like 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' and 'Buffy' along with a bit of Tim Burton, and it's all been given a 2022 remix. So if you’re into mood rings, florals and tarot cards, you’re def gonna fall under this trend's spell 🪄 Keep scrolling to unlock the look.

When it comes to dressing up, whimsigoth is ALL about bringing the drama. Serve it in luxe textures – velvets, satins, ruffles and lace are your new BFFs, basically. Go with chunky boots for daytime and take it to the BNO with chunky heels. Your style ref for this one: Florence Welch and Stevie Nicks 🎸

With temps finally rising, crochet's been living rent-free in our minds lately – from swimsuits to cardies like these. It’s a major whimsigoth staple, too – especially in wavey colour combos. Made for statement brunchwear or park hangs, there’s just a lil bit of a hippie vibe to 'em ☮️

If you’ve noticed a theme growing, you’re right: florals are HUGE for whimsigoth 🌸💐 Opt for faded-out and ditsy botanic prints á la 90s Nicole Kidman in 'Practical Magic'. Lace-up or structured, it’s a win either way tbh.

Add-ons are IT when it comes to nailing this trend. Look to the stars 💫 with astrology-themed necklaces, half-moon charms and mood rings (remember them?) 🌙 And don’t be afraid to go full-on kitsch, cos vibey crocheted hats and headscarves are your 🎟 to the whimsigoth coven 🪄

Knee-high (or higher) boots were everywhere in the 90s, so ofc they’re part of the whimsigoth spellbook. We’re talking srsly ch-unky soles here, too – this is where your inner goth can really shine, so go all out 🖤
