Pastel Goth

Pastel Goth (not to be confused with Gurokawa or Nu-Goth) is a fashion and aesthetic that originated on Tumblr in early 2010. The fashion entails taking the basic elements of dark goth style and mixing it with pastel colors. It also became popularized in Japan by Harajuku fashion icons like, Juria Nakagawa and the fashion would soon take influence from the Creepy-Cute aesthetic, meshing the two aesthetics together. Pastel Goth motifs can also be seen in other J-fashion styles like Lolita and Fairy-Kei.
