Had the August Vogue through the other day, with the autumn preview. 'Soft goth' is in, apparently. Andn big tartan . Sculptural stuff, esp shoulders/lapels.

Are you giving up due to uncooperative weather, or because you can't find any summer attire you like?

iirc, it was the same last summer.

JackieNo - soft goth, big shoulders and tartan? Seriously? Arrgghh! I may as well never enter a shop again for the next 6 months! Thought I'd left my tartan days behind me circa 1985! Wonder what soft goth actually is? Head to toe in darkish grey rather than black or a pale face with just a hint of bronzed glow maybe??? The mind boggles!

(Wonder if by December I'll be eating my words and wearing a black, tartan jacket with the biggest shoulder pads seen to man??? Probably!)

Ollie - not all at the same time, I don't think. From what I can gather, soft goth is goth with extra frills. Will definitely be avoiding tartan, I think.

And I think the whole sculptural shoulders thing is just an extension of the puffed sleeves that have been around this summer, only more exaggerated and a bit harder edged.

I think i need a new calender, mine says its July, but i think it has got it wrong!

Soft goth?!!
Robert Smith anyone?

Nope, not me, I'm going to Lanzarote in August so I'm quite looking forward to wearing my summer stuff, even if it's just for those 2 weeks
