Some styles come to stay, and the rock ’n’ roll style is one of them. The music style known as rock ’n’ roll emerges in the 60s with Elvis Presley, who set a significant fashion trend at the time, representing the young people, tired of the rules, the rebels without a cause. This is a lifestyle that has transcended many generations since it was created.
Fashionist Silvana Moreno says that “a good look helps support your general ideas, and sometimes, it helps you communicate more deeply. In the history of the movement and its different branches, fashion has shown that people not only want to connect themselves ideologically and musically, but physically as well. Many times, the way you dress is a connection to other elements. Fashion becomes a style, and the more personal, the better”.
You can see the US or UK flag as a symbol of the countries that had a bigger influence in this music style, leather jackets full of zippers and pockets, loose or tight, leggings of many or one single color, especially grey, black, red, or pink, and loose T-shirts.
A perfect combination for a totally rocker look is leather with leather, preferably black. Jackets, pants or short skirts, military-style boots up to the knees, and pockets full of details, such as spikes, buttons, pins, etc.
Pants are usually tight, black or red, and sometimes torn. Jeans must look old. For girls, soft colors can be matched with an underground style. For men, dark pants, T-shirts and jackets will add a touch of modern rebel rocker style, like Johnny Depp’s.
Choosing the right accessories is essential when defining your look. Black aviator sunglasses, black, silver or golden bracelets, scarves around the head, skull necklaces, etc. Remember to style your hair, whether short or long, straight or curly, make it messy, with curls or bangs. Women can dye the hair or get some highlights in blond or more daring colors such as blue, purple, red or pink.
