Black metal fashion
Black metal fashion refers to the style of dress preferred by listeners of
black metal music. Clothing is black accessorized with silver jewelry, including pentagrams, pentacles, Thor's hammers & inverted crosses. There tends to be also a focus on spikes on leather, often worn on the wrists, of around 12 inches. Males affect a rugged, long-haired look, while females attempt to look both attractive and dangerous. Black Metal Fashion is essentially
Gothic fashion with a more
Vampyric look. It is important to note that this does not mean that
Black metal is necessarily linked to the
Vampyre/
Vampire subculture, and that it is not, in any way, linked to the
Gothic rock movement.
