Brandy Melville faux-leather cross-body bucket bag, $35, at brandymelville.com
News flash: A recent study by a UK retailer confirms that wearing black makes you appear smarter, sexier and confident. And given that many New Yorkers sport an all-black wardrobe daily, we’re psyched to be ahead of the game for fall’s most popular style, the Goth trend. We’re not talking silver-cross necklaces, skull-print shirts and all the other macabre shit you’d find in any run-of-the-mill Halloween store. Get ready to nab Victorian-Goth styles like black chunky leather boots and military jackets for men and women at affordable boutiques and department stores in NYC.
