Gothic punk fashion is becoming more and more popular among teenagers and young adults alike. Girls have become more interested in it as well, prompting the addition of pretty colours like pink and purple, as well as bows and lace to things that are usually black and covered in skulls.
But pink, lace and skulls could never work... could it?
Well, of course it could! It looks great - on shoes especially.
These lovely shoes are from a brand by the name of Iron Fist, which specializes in girly punk. Who would've thought that pink studs and roses would look so good on stilettos?

Iron Fist American Nightmare Purple
Purple is also a popular colour in terms of gothic clothing for women, and these babies border on perfect. When you've got a skull print on the front and a bow on the back, where can you go wrong?
Although it's not visible in this photo, the back of the heel has corset laces down the length of it. Can it get any sexier?
... Actually, it can. These shoes are also available in red.

Iron Fist Meshed Up Platform - Black
Maybe you're just looking for a simple pair of black heels with a gothic twist? Look no further! These killer heels are mostly mesh, to add that tough edge to any outfit.
Like mesh, but still want it to look a little bit more girly? Iron Fist can fix that.
Iron Fist Meshed Up Lace Heels
These beautiful things are a personal favourite of mine (and in my opinion they deserve a whole post to themselves). They're tough, punky, gothic, and yet delightfully girly. It's funny what a little bit of lace and red ribbon can do to a pair of shoes. With these, there's a little bit of something for everyone.Girly punk shoes and boots
available from Amazon
It's almost universally known that boots feature prominently in any goth or punk wardrobe. Whether they be huge, 16-hole Doc Martins that weigh more than you do, or the cute little ankle boots shown below, a funky pair of boots is a staple item.
Iron Fist Women's New Rider Boot
I could probably sing praises to the sky about these shoes. The red is eye-catching, while the diamante skull-print is equal parts slightly intimidating and a little on the cute side. The buckles and the studs give it a tough look that completes these shoes.
Iron Fist Lacey Days Mid Calf Lace Up Black Boot
One word comes to mind where these boots are concerned: wow. I can't decide whether they're more dangerous to myself or to others - but one thing's for sure, people will be a lot more careful to stay on your good side!
These boots go up to your mid-calf and feature a cute lace pattern that makes them look a little less scary. But only a little.
Iron Fist American Nightmare Red Combat Boot
Not every girl has the skill to balance on a pair of platform heels - I know I don't. Combat boots with a skull print like these definitely look tough, and the bright red will definitely get people's attention. The best part, combat boots are super-comfortable, and not very difficult to walk in at all.
Funtasma by Pleaser Women's Punk
These flats are almost too cute for words, and definitely adhere to the more girly side of gothic punk. Skulls, love hearts and bows - can you say "awwww"?

So you've got your shoes ... now what? Time for some clothes!

Living Dead Souls Womens Short Sleeve Blouse with Ruffles- Black
Pretty tough-looking, huh? But don't let it fool you; the ruffles around the collar and the puffy sleeves definitely take the edge off of this adorable shirt.
Another beauty , still gothic, but with a bit more of a Victorian touch because of the high collar.
Iron Fist - Robo Shimmer T-Shirt
For the girl who wants something with a hint of punk, this
t-shirt from Iron Fist is for you! Featuring a cute pink skeleton on one side and a heart on the other, it can be teamed with anything - gothic, punk, or not! A versatile shirt that looks good no matter what.
STRETCH PANT WITH LACING
Honestly, these pants make me cringe a little. A wet leather look, with lacing down the sides and purple mesh probably isn't a good idea for anything other than a fancy dress party, but, hey. It passes the gothic test.
If you feel like you can wear these without having to issue a public apology later, go for it!
These pants from Tripp NYC are a sight prettier than the ones above. Even red plaid with suspenders. Because only cool people wear suspenders now - everyone knows that!
Living Dead Souls Womens BROCADE JACKET WITH MANDARIN COLLAR AND STUDS
A tough-looking, slightly military-style jacket that, while not necessarily being gothic, definitely completes any punk look!

But, what's a good punk outfit without some accessories?

This gorgeous little wallet by Iron Fist goes with almost everything on this page. It features faux-leather (so it's completely vegan-friendly), and a gorgeous corset lacing. The red and black features prominently in gothic fashion, but the lip prints that are mixed in give it a girly touch.
Red Bows W/SkullsIron Fist Digiskull Hardshell Heart Bag - Red
"What an adorable little heart clutch!", I hear you cry. Indeed it is adorable, and very versatile. It can be used with any outfit, not just gothic punk clothes. The red sequins make it perfect for something to take out to a party or night out with the girls.
A tangled cuff of bloody thorns, encrusted with Swarovski crystal drops; complementing the equally empathetic choker & earring sets - A bramble of thorns entangles the ear, weeping tears of Swarovski crystal blood.
the style is unquestionable - this thing rocks!
Bleeding Heart Alchemy Gothic Necklace
A cascade of crystal blood pours from the cruel wounds of a tortured love. This Alchemy Gothic fine English pewter necklace features an enamel-red wounded heart set with skulls and nouveau flourishes. Eight half-inch (13mm) red faceted crystals hang from various-length chains. Pendant portion is 3" across and 2" long - 4" counting the chains - and hangs from split cable chains for a total necklace length of 20".
Life's not complete without a cool gothic makeup set! Dark enough to suit all your gothic punk needs, and creepy enough to keep all those meddling little sisters away. Somehow, I doubt they'll be eager to get their paws all over this palette.
