Black metal fashion refers to the style of dress preferred by listeners of black metal music. Clothing is black accessorized with silver jewelry, including pentagrams, pentacles, Thor's hammers & inverted crosses. There tends to be also a focus on spikes on leather, often worn on the wrists, of around 12 inches. Males affect a rugged, long-haired look, while females attempt to look both attractive and dangerous. Black Metal Fashion is essentially Gothic fashion with a more Vampyric look. It is important to note that this does not mean that Black metal is necessarily linked to the Vampyre/Vampire subculture, and that it is not, in any way, linked to the Gothic rock movement.
