Anyone know of anywhere where I can find gothy type clothes that are still professional looking for work? Or maybe some nice accessories like brooches and the like to goth-ify otherwise bland work clothes? I'm going for a more Wall Street Goth look, if that's possible. LOL

We have a new dress code at work (a very good thing actually, you should see some of the craziness people wear at my job), and now I'm at a loss.

I never had this problem before.

Whenever I see a corporate goth outfit, it usually consists of pinstripes.

Gloomth's site has lots of nice corporate goth clothing.

Where do you work?

That changed it alot! I mean dress code for an office differs highligh to a shop floor.

but either way, pencil skirts are a must!!

I can't wear anything that shows my ass. Like, through fabric. That means no pants without a long tunic, no skirts that hug my butt. All skirts below the knee. Shirts must have sleeves. But when I got hired there they said there was "no dress code! We're casual!" Guess I shouldn't have gone in there wearing black and white stripe leggings and a frilly mini dress.

Oy vey! I hate pants, I usually wear skirts and dresses. Not a big fan of pinstripes either. Looking for something more sophisticated to wear to work. Not a kid anymore, I'm pushing 30, so I need a more mature wardrobe for the office.

Up until now I had been wearing all sorts of black dresses to work. Wasn't really a problem, but with the passing of the new dress code, I thought it would be a good idea for me to look more professional and polished. You know, no more baby doll dresses with mary janes. Also, the long flowing skirts Romati-goth look isn't going to cut it either.

Do I make any sense?

Heres a website dedicated to corporate goth.

I'm a legal assistant at a law firm. I wear mostly long straight skirts or knee length pencil skirts, or nice slacks. I have a few long sleeve buttondown shirts from Lip Service I wear a lot. As far as accessories, will your work let you wear stuff like Alchemy jewelry?

I don't know if it will help, but here are some links to some articles of clothing that I wear regularly to work

^^That's it! Thanks chelseagirl! I haven't received a Newport News catalogue in years...I had no idea they have such wonderful clothes now!

I'm actaully a little embarrased to be asking for work clothes help, especially since I've been dubbed the "fashionista" at my job. I guess my current work outfits would be great if I worked for a fashion mag or something, but really aren't right in a non-profit social service agency.

Cool! Actually, Newport's stuff isn't so great this year - in the past years they've had a lot of nice victorian inspired stuff and nice velvet stuff, but not so much this year. Hopefully, next season they'll have better stuff again. I have a LOT of clothing from them. They have a lot of nice tight black knee length dresses that look great with corsets.

So you can't wear pants that are fitted without some sort of a@@ flap? That is odd. What about the fellas, does the same rule apply? If not I would be ticked.

If you want to go corporate but sill have a goth flare I always stick with sexy blazers with a nice lace shirt underneath.

Sleek pencil skirts look nice. I have one with a lace trim that looks professional.
