Rockabilly Style
If you had it, you'd know it!
Being rockabilly isn't just about the clothes you wear, or how you style your hair, it's about attitude as well. There are a lot of things that make up the rockabilly persona, and a lot of styles within the genre. For example, Guys, are you a greaser...
A rockabilly...
A swinger...
although you all hang out together at the same bars and rockabilly clubs, what is your style? Are you more likely to carry a switchblade, a comb or a pair of dance shoes? These questions will determine your specific style, and help you decide how you want to present yourself to the world. Greasers can get away with a minimal wardrobe, because there is nothing more rockabilly than a white undershirt, jeans, motorcycle boots and a leather jacket, it's James Dean to the Fonz, it is the look of cool! A swingers wardrobe is a little deeper, you need loose fitting pants, cool dance shoes and a few button up shirts that breath easily, vintage isn't usually as important to the dancers as function, luckily if you look, you can usually accomplish both. A rockabilly wardrobe goes quite a bit deeper, any self respecting rockabilly guy is going to want to search for his clothes, and have a wide selection, suits, casual wear, swim wear, jackets shoes dress pants and jeans, if you want to do up the rockabilly, be prepared for a wonderful commitment to style and fashion. From Fat hand painted ties to skinny mod ties, from suspenders to studded belts, the accessories are seemingly endless.
