Pastel Goth Skirts
Who doesn’t love a bit of the pastel goth aesthetic? It combines everything fun about the spooky and edgy with eye-catching, soft pastel colours – which looks great in contrast with the classic monochromatic gothic black and whites, by the way! Emyrld has created a pack of skirts that are a perfect addition to any alternative Sim’s collection, featuring fun pastel goth-themed patterns including crosses, moons, bats, stars, crystals – all of the classics.

The My Little Emo jeans by MaruChanBe just absolutely scream 2000’s emo kid or scene queen, making them absolutely ideal for creating a Sim with these influences or aesthetics. Heck, they’d even go perfectly with the band tees mentioned earlier in this list to really create that iconic scene queen or emo kid look from the peak of that era, capturing that self-customized look with one leg covered in scribbles and the other appearing to have been turned into ripped jeans by hand. They’re fun, they’re cool, and they’re a throwback for many.
Geek Goth Sweaters

Lastly we have these lovely little sweaters which all feature more modern prints and stitched patterns capturing everything edgy you could imagine. From spiderwebs and blood to checkers and flames, skeleton/bones, and crosses, you’re bound to find something perfect for your alt. fashion guy.
These are also a great addition as they can be kind of dressed up or down depending just how dark and edgy you want to make the look – a pair of light jeans and bright shoes keeps it more streetwear-oriented, while pairing black boots and dark pants/jackets on top can amplify the edge, if desired.
