While summertime for many means bright festival fashion, neon rage-wear, and earthy bohemian threads, sometimes we just can't bring ourselves to stray from our hue of choice: black. A closet full of dark-as-night clothes may not seem like appropriate warm-weather clothing to some, but don't think that we'd every sacrifice our aesthetic just because the sun is shining and temperatures have gradually started to creep towards sweltering. We'll stay true to our goth lifestyle no matter what.
If you're not trying to ditch your witchy ways for the sake of summertime fashion, never fear: It's totally possible to wear black all summer long. From sleek swimsuits to coverups that are beach-goth approved, these summer style picks will keep you morbidly outfitted through the warmer months. Personal style should always be a reflection of your inner world—and for us that just happens to mean all black everything.
