The Goth Galentine’s Day Playbook

Three goth-coded ways to host the women who hold you steady

By: The Lace Ledger Staff

Galentine’s Day doesn’t need to look like pink confetti to feel celebratory. Sometimes, it looks like a dimly lit table, a haunting playlist and the kind of laughter that only happens when you’re surrounded by women who know the real you <3. This is a holiday for chosen family, for the friendships that hold you steady and gatherings to remember.

If your circle skews darkly inclined, these Galentine’s themes may feel more authentic. Cocktails + Conjuring, Volume Up and Notes in the Margin off three distinct moods for celebrating the wonderful women in your life, your riders, each rooted in connection and shaped by a shared aesthetic that doesn’t need to explain itself.
