Being goth is an entire lifestyle from the music you hear all of the way down to the military boots you wear, where it's a time when everybody is wearing Abercrombie & Fitch, but finding the ideal way to dress can be difficult.
Ease into it. Do not go goth all at one time. Ease into the subculture and the design.
Determine what style you're aiming for. Some folks enjoy a romantic look with tailored velvet jackets, lace and period items, but some prefer punk, with bondage pants and a spiked collar, and still others go cyber/futuristic with goggles, yarn extensions, latex, and large industrial boots. There is not one single goth fashion, there are lots of branches.
Read goth movies and pictures for inspiration. Look around and try to find out what you would like to incorporate into your own wardrobe. Unless it's Halloween avoid copying somebody else.
Go to thrift shops for cheap, original clothes. Even mainstream clothing stores have fundamental pieces, such as pinstriped pants, black stripes, and more, that will become the staples of your wardrobe much less expensively than specialty shop purchases.
Make your clothes, or at least contemplate changing the clothes you already have with pieces of lace, ribbons, etc.. You can find a fantastic deal at a thrift shop, but the cheapest clothing to purchase are those already in your closet. Go mad; make it unique and artistic.
