Step 1
Tone down the traditional gothic makeup. Wear thinner eyeliner than a scary goth would wear and wear light foundation instead of white face paint.
-
Step 2
Look for clothes that are pretty and glamorous. Think lace instead of fishnet. Thrift stores make an excellent source for cheap clothing.
-
Step 3
Add some color to your wardrobe. Throwing in dark blue and maroon will set you apart from the scary goths.
-
Step 4
Go for a renaissance look. Classic goths are into vampires and death, if you go for a renaissance or Victorian look you will be less scary.
-
Step 5
Smile and act happy. Goths don't always have to act sad; if you act happy you won't scare people.
-
Step 6
Accessorize your gothic look. Crucifixes and renaissance style jewelry will give you a glamorous look and won't make you appear scary.
-
Step 7
Style your hair in whatever way you feel suits your personality. Express yourself through fun colors and styles.
