I would suggest looking up some diy videos on YouTube and trying to thrift. There are plenty and you can learn a lot online for free. This can help to spot pieces when thrifting that not only fit into the style that you want but also pieces that would work well to alter. A good recommendation for a jumping off point is the YouTuber Rattus Rattus, but you can more than likely search youtube for whatever you feel like making.
Thank you so much!! I'm so sorry for the late response I'm barely active

Please please please thrift or buy used/handmade clothing and accessories if you can. Goth fashion, deriving its roots from the punk scene, is all about diy and making what you have work as an outfit. Do not support fast fashion if you dont have to (online alternative shops such as killstar/dollskill/hottopic/shein etc). -a goth
Thank you so much! The only thing I really got from my local thrift shop was some black ripped jeans but finding clothes my size is quite hard so I do try to recycle old clothes a lot

Yea I feel you, I know it's not easy! Try to go whenever you know your store will put out new items. If you have trouble with your local thrift, you can also get secondhand clothes on ebay or mercari (thrift website). My biggest tip is to not focus on if an item is labelled goth- black clothes of all types can make interesting outfits.

hiii, i saw your recommendation of alt onl shop that included shein. as i've known that shein is also a fast fashion brand that has the biggest carbon emission problem and even uses forced labor and ch.il.d labor (sorry if i misunderstood your comment)

Thank you for adding, I put SHEIN in the list of fast fashion alt brands I don’t recommend, but I appreciate your clarification of why it should be avoided. It’s very helpful to the discussion :)

Heyy, I saw both comments and I already avoid SHEIN! I don't know a lot about them but I knew about the c.h.i.l.d labour, carbon emissions and fast fashion and that doesn't align with my views at all so when I need clothes I always try to go thrifting first :)
