Physical description

Gokudera has likings to skull, dark and metal accessories (ring, chains, bracelets). Remember when he saw his weapon, flame arrow (which he was the one who named it) he was fascinated on it because of the metal punk look. Also, he even altered the box his future self holds and put them skulls and metal linings. So for sure Gokudera have huge fondness on punk (pop) fashion. But thank goodness he doesn’t wear make-up (release a big sigh of relief).
"Punk fashion is the styles of clothing, hairstyles, cosmetics, jewelry, and body modifications of the punk subculture. Punk fashion varies widely from Vivienne Westwood styles to styles modeled on bands like The Exploited. The distinct social dress of other subcultures and art movements, including glam rock, skinheads, rude boys, greasers, and mods have influenced punk fashion. Punk fashion has likewise influenced the styles of these groups, as well as those of popular culture".

According to some, people who like this kind of fashion use it as a way of making a statement. And personally, I think Gokudera use this for that purpose, but of course Gokudera is “not an attention” getter. He might used to project the image he wants to himself. His is a rebellious looking teen with angsty (but lonely background) and probably with this, no one can mess up with him.
