For me, personally, this has been the year where I rethink all the conventional dark fashion "rules." And there are rules--there's a difference between someone who is just wearing black and someone who is counter-culture. But for people in high school and college who were dressing this way to be "unique" or "rebellious," I'm sure they were eventually disappointed:

For some reason, gold was never goth. I have theories: 1: the good stuff was too expensive for youth culture. 2) it traditionally doesn't go with cool-toned pale makeup and blue-black hair. 3) it was popular with parents and old people.
Maybe. I'd argue that it doesn't have to be expensive...you don't need to get solid gold. Brass would work too:
As for it not working with pale makeup, I disagree. The results are striking and different. Vulcan Butterfly recently
featured gold accessories that looked amazing, and instragram stars below did as well.

| I need to do a dark fashion men post. feel free to take my idea.. |
I think it's getting popular now for the same reason I switched over a few years ago...Silver got too boring and we wondered, wait a second, how come no one wears gold? And now you stand out in a crowd.
