To create a Mall Goth outfit in Dress to Impress, you need to design a look that combines a goth aesthetic with a mall vibe. This genre of fashion is a bit of a complex one to nail since it’s focused on combining two types of styles for a very specific setting, but it generally involves creating a semi-casual goth look.
What does Mall Goth mean in Dress to Impress?
Mall Goth refers to a meeting of goth fashion with mall vibes, especially individuals who head to the mall to buy clothes at popular shops that have this genre of clothing, like Hot Topic. If you’re familiar with this specific store, you have a pretty solid understanding of what this theme entails since it’s the signature style for it.
Generally, the best way to create a Mall Goth look is by focusing on fairly simple color combinations like black and red or black and dark pink.

In terms of hair, you ideally want to choose hair you can add colored highlights to. This is an easy way to take your outfit to the next level with some small but striking details. It’s also a good idea to choose makeup that has piercings and dark colors overall.
