Fall means that spooky season is right around the corner, and that means it's the season of darkness. There are lots of parents who prefer skulls and the night rather than rainbows and the light, and that's who we want to pay homage to with these goth-inspired baby clothes. For them it isn't a phase and we want to extend the dark fun to their kids now, too.
And believe it or not, goth is a look that never really goes out of style. From baby to the teen years to full-blown adults. Even Khloé Kardashian has rocked the style here and there — there's always time for a Goth Look. So after naming baby one of these names give the kiddo one (or two) of these outfits. There are more subtle goth styles, like all-black a skull looks, to more obvious ones that throw a nod to Lucifer and bats. No matter the choice, baby will look cute as anything.
Toy Division Onesie
Joy Division is a late '70s rock band that had one particular album cover design that has lived on through the decades on posters, records, and T-shirts. Now, it's on a baby's onesie, with the pun "Toy Division" on the front instead for a rock n' roll look meant just for baby.

Skull & Bones Creeper Baby Bodysuit
Skulls will always be one of the symbols that come to mind when when thinking about anything goth. It now also comes on baby clothes, in a cute way because that is totally possible now. The Skull & Bones Creeper Baby Bodysuit is simple but goth cute.
Rat Baby Bodysuit
Rats have many different meanings in pop culture, whether it's in NYC as a famous "pizza rat" or as a Halloween decoration, the creatures are associate with dirt and darkness. And for that reason they make an excellent choice for animal on a goth baby shirt that would have otherwise had a teddy bear.
Skull Onesie & Pant Set
$19
from
Bitsy Bug Boutique
OK, back to skulls because when we said they were a major goth symbol, we meant it. How could it not be? This punk skull onesie and pant set is a HxC (aka hardcore) and perfect set for baby to wear as a sleeper set or even out and about as the weather gets colder.
'Nightmare Before Christmas' Baby Onesie
The goth scene will always totally own anything that's related to the spooky Tim Burton animated film, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Now the love that parents have for it can live on through their baby, or at least their outfit in the beginning with this baby onesie.
Zombie Kids PJs
Goth folks will always have a thing for the dead, or undead, one form of which are zombies. Zombie kids PJs that are not only have a hilarious pun on them with a zombie ("Dead Tired") but also come with a black and white striped design (major Beetlejuice vibes) that goth-appreciating parents will love.
Baby Bruja
The Latin moms and dads who love goth and witchy practices will definitely appreciate this Baby Bruja onesie. Bruja means "witch" in Spanish and Brujaria is the practice of mystical magic. Perfect for all the time, but especially for October.
18 Years Until My First Tattoo Baby Shirt
Not all people with tattoos are goth or love gothic style, but many people who are goth love tattoos. That is why this baby T-shirt that says "18 Years Until My First Tattoo" is absolutely perfect for continuing the family legacy. It can also have other years instead of 18, depending on the age of the kiddo.
Goth Girl Onesie
$14
from
Metallimonsters
So far, the nods to goth style have been subtle or implied, but this Goth Girl onesie makes it loud and clear. It features all the trappings of a goth girl to be, including a character of one, bats, and pentagrams. And of course, skulls.
Skull & Roses Sleepsuit
$20
from
Metallimonsters
This Skull & Roses sleepsuit with "footies" is not too scary goth, but actually makes the look quite chic. It features illustrated roses and skulls that seem to be softer in appearance than more life-like designs above on solid black.
Metalhead Sleepsuit
$19
from
Metallimonsters
Like the Goth Girl sleepsuit, this Metalhead sleepsuit is also loud and clear about what this baby's (er, parents') interests are. And metalheads can be goth, too. This one features a long-haired character, lightning bolt, guitar pick, and a pentagram type symbol.
Pentagram Baby One-Piece
Speaking of gothic symbols, this pentagram baby one-piece screams alternative style to the nth degree. Pentagrams consist of a star inside of circle with each of the five points representing a different spirit. There's one of this onesie as well as a satanic animal skull in the center.
I Wanna Cuddle And Watch Horror Movies Baby One-Piece
Goth style can have quote T-shirts, too, including ones like this baby onesie that says "I Wanna Cuddle And Watch Horror Movies." Goth is a style but horror movies would fall into interests many would enjoy. It's also fittingly spooky horror movie season — even if baby has a few years before he is actually allowed to watch horror movies.
'I Bite' Baby Onesie
This "I Bite" baby onesie in white with "bloody" lettering is super simple but the perfect combination of stereotypical goth persona with a love of vampires thrown in. Can't get better than that in our opinion. This one is budget-friendly, too.
Ankh Baby Bodysuit
The Ankh symbol has been printed on tons of goth-style merch for a long time and now it comes on a onesie for babies. It is an ancient Egyptian symbol said to have originated in hieroglyphic form and means "life." But the gothic tie-in comes from the ancient Egyptians' tendencies to associate it with sacrifice and resurrection as well.
Moonchild Onesie
Forget flowerchild, how about a child of the moon? This Moonchild onesie pays homage to the night sky and phases of the moon, which have for a long time been associated with dark, mythical creatures like werewolves. It's simple, cute and perfect for the fall.
Gothic Skull & Guardian Ravens Halloween Baby Bodysuit
Going back to more obvious gothic toned apparel, this Gothic Skull and Guardian Ravens Halloween baby bodysuit has all the trappings of a goth style with flair. There's the obvious skull but it also has ravens which have come to be associated with death and bad luck (hey, Edgar Allan Poe).
Not a Pink Kind of Girl
A big part of being goth is going against the cultural grain. Girls liking pink is part of that grain and this baby onesie, in black, makes is clear that this little one marches to the beat of her own drum, or her parents'. For now, she will be "Not a Pink Kind of Girl," but of course, there's nothing wrong with little ladies who love pink either!
Misfits Toddler Shirt
Does it get any cuter and more punk than this? Punk and goth are basically cousins and this Misfits toddler shirt pays homage to the image and the band all at once in the most adorable way. This is another budget-friendly find. Adorable baby model not included.
Release the Bats Baby Onesie
$18
from
Black Craft Cult
Bats have long been an animal that's associated with darkness. Maybe because they're black in color or also like to hide out in caves, they've gotten a reputation. But lots of people love bats, and they make for a cool clothing design, like this Release the Bats baby onesie.
