The Kylie Jenner Instagram Guide to Going Goth For Fall in 10 Vampy, Dark Lipsticked And Leather-Clad Steps
Kylie Jenner is going goth this fall and hey, why not? The goth style and culture suits the chillier autumn season. Out come the dark, matte lipsticks; the lighter, more porcelain skin; the leather jackets; the combat boots; and the red, almond-shaped nails. The youngest Jenner has an edgier style than most of her sisters — remember the blue hair? She is pretty much offering up a tutorial for going goth on her Instagram feed, but with a twist. Kylie isn't just embracing the black and red hues of the season — she's Kylie-fying the goth aesthetic and making it a little more fashionably forward and accessible, as opposed to morbid and overly Halloween-y. She proves that you can go goth with your look, without simply relying on skulls, white face powder, and velvet timmings. It's all about the nails and the pout — click through for Kylie Jenner's ultimate guide to goth.

Teal Lips
The goth look is all about bold, matte lips that look painted on. Kylie has that down to a science with her teal-tinged pout, which matched her one-time aqua hair. If you want to do the statement goth lip, but aren’t feeling red, black, or purple, try teal like she did, regardless of your hair color.

The Edgy Undercut
While the undercut is pretty common among celebs like Rihanna, Skrillex, and Demi Lovato, there's no doubt it has a witchy woman feel. With Jenner’s dark hair and those dagger nails, it's perfectly edgy.

Black Talons And Black Leather
I hope Kylie doesn’t wear contacts — she could poke her eye out with those dagger nails. But they look super goth-pretty, thanks to the glossy black lacquer. She also rocked a leather moto jacket in black, every witchy woman's favorite shade.

Black Lipstick
Black lipstick is gothy in nature and Jenner has been favoring perfectly lined, uber matte, noir lippy for several months now.

Scarlet Red Nails
Red is a signature shade for goth style and Jenner’s scarlet nail lacquer popped against her fair skin.

All Black Ensembles
Wearing all-black is not strictly indicative of goth style — a lot of New Yorkers eschew color completely as well, this local included. Jenner’s monochromatic ensemble was edgy while being totally sexy.

Raven-Hued Hair And Fair Skin
Jenner channeled Angelina Jolie circa the 2000 Oscars, with her waaaay long black locks and fair skin. Jenner kept the rest of her look neutral and natural so that her long, untamed, un-flat-ironed locks took center stage.

These Boots Are Made For Walking
Platforms and chunky, stompy boots are one of the best things about the awesome goth look. Masculine booties like this always look good with a cute dress for a little contrast.

Extreme Arched Brows
You could argue that Eddie Munster was goth, given his lineage. But his slicked back hair and brows were his hallmarks and Jenner rocked severely arched and perfectly shaped brows that were Munster-reminiscent. Hiding the windows to her soul behind a pair of mirrored sunnies was so very unintentionally goth of her.

Leather...Again
The leather jacket is a repeatedly worn item and when paired with other elements of her look — the perfectly painted pout, the sculpted brows — it brings out her inner rebel.
