5 Beach Ready Women's Goth Looks

It's now well-past memorial day here in the States which means summer is here and beaches are open. Goths aren't particularly renown for being beach-goers but many of us do, at some point, make the trek out to spend the day with friends or family. But what to wear? Here are five beach ready women's goth looks that I made in Polyvore recently.

First up is a retro, rockabilly inspired look with a pretty red and white polka-dotted swimsuit with a wrap-dress for a cover up. Keeping your hair up with a simple vintage hair wrap will keep it out of your face and help you to avoid the dreaded hair deflating that happens to goths with more elaborate hair styles. I've included a parasol and sunglasses but don't forget your sunscreen!

The next look features the gothest swimsuit I could find (they seem to be generic and a lot of brands stock them, search 'skeleton swimsuit' to find lots of them.) This look also has a black and white striped towel and tote bag for a Beetlejuice inspired look, as well as a sheer chiffon blouse with skulls and shorts to wear as a cover up. The hat will keep the sun off of your face and the back of your neck.

Finding cute plus-size swimsuits is a royal pain even but it's even worse when you're looking for Gothy styles, still, I like this asymmetrical cut-out black swimsuit and I've paired it with a lace cover-up dress to keep the sun off your skin when you're walking to and from the beach or on the boardwalk. for this look I've included jewelry to up the goth vibe but  remember to take any valuable jewelry off if you decide to wade out into the water, just in case.

This look takes a pretty black swimsuit with corset detailing and amps up the Goth with a fun kitschy body-outline towel, skull bag, and skull umbrella. The cover up is a sheer wrap top to let the interesting detailing on the swimsuit show through and black shorts.

Lastly, my favorite look, which is an understated vintage black swimsuit with a semi-sheer coverup dress. A parasol is included, of course, as well as some classic Demonia sandals and a basic black bangle. The towel is coffin shaped which I thought was too perfect, and I absolutely adore these round sunglasses.
