A rock girl is a woman who lives and breathes for rock music. Many people who declare themselves rock are laid back, rock-loving and independent, with a hint of transgression and a tough side. To be a perfect rock girl, you have to perfectly master your looks and attitude!
Steps
Part 1 of 4: Choosing the Perfect Pieces for the Above
Step 1. Put on the band shirts
A fundamental part of a truly rock girl is promoting a love for rock bands. All T-shirts ranging from vintage bands to your favorite rock bands are fine.
- The best way to get original T-shirts is to buy them at concert merchandise or on the band's website.
- Classic group vintage T-shirts will make your look more authentic. To find them, search thrift markets, second-hand stores or online.
- Many stores sell vintage-like T-shirts with prints from bands like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones or Johnny Cash.
- If you want to vary your outfit from time to time and step away from band shirts, try ones that reflect the rebellious nature of the rock lifestyle. Guitars, drums and booze are essential for rock lovers, so you can try a T-shirt with prints of Fender guitars or your favorite alcohol.
Step 2. Test the paintings
It is a versatile pattern that goes well with many different styles. Tie a flannel plaid shirt at the waist when wearing jeans and a band shirt, or even with a dress. Or wear it tied up to the neck with a leather jacket and scarf.
- When choosing a plaid shirt for rock style, think carefully about colors. Red and black are more rock than white and orange. But with the right attitude and accessories, any plaid shirt can be brought into your wardrobe.
- The largest clothing chains sell flannel shirts of all types and sizes. You can find them traditional, straight cut, structured or feminine that tighten around the waist and bust. However, also consider thrift stores, especially if you are looking for the perfect worn-out shirt.
Step 3. Choose the oversize
To fully carry the rock aesthetic, your shirts must be very soft and abundant. Buy clothes a size or two larger than normal; you could also opt for men's shirts instead of women's shirts, which tend to be more shaped. You have to look scruffy and untidy, while still keeping yourself stylish.
- You could buy shirts and tank tops with crooked edges. Many shirts are created with asymmetrical edges that create a sharp angle along the body. It would give your outfit a bolder tone.
- Drop the oversized shirt over one shoulder for a more provocative look. You could also cut the neck of the shirt to have an even larger hole, so that it fits better on your shoulder. Cut the sleeves of the T-shirt to make it a provocative tank top with scruffy edges.
Step 4. Think about color blocks
The perfect rock look is based on dark colors, black and gray. But splashes of bright colors, such as red or pink, are also important in a perfect rock wardrobe. If you want to go glam-rock, try gold and silver, sequins and sequins, as stylist Tom Ford did in a recent rock-inspired collection.
Color blocks usually work well on shirts, scarves, shoes, and accessories. Pants are better black
Step 5. Find a grunge dress
Rock style isn't just about concert shirts and leather. Buy a checked dress or a vintage floral patterned dress; if you are feeling bold, you could try a dress in leather, velvet or lace.
Instead of a dress, try a soft plaid or floral skirt and pair it with a concert shirt and flannel shirt or denim jacket for a softer rock look
Step 6. Put on a biker jacket
The perfect rock girl look isn't complete without a leather jacket. Short and snug over the top of an abundant band forms the perfect combination. Try looking for vintage ones in thrift stores.
The jacket does not necessarily have to be genuine leather. Fake ones are cheaper and you can find them in major chain stores. Some jackets have studs, lace or other decorations to complete the look
Step 7. Buy a denim jacket
You will give versatility to your wardrobe by adding it to the biker jacket. A denim jacket can give clothing a softer and more casual look.
- Denim jackets are perfect for adding decorations. You can attach the badges of your favorite bands, sew patches on the front or back and personalize them until they are truly rock.
- Denim vests are also a way to change your wardrobe. The best are short ones, but any vest paired with a band t-shirt or floral dress can be incorporated into your style.
Part 2 of 4: Picking the Perfect Pieces for the Below
Step 1. Put on skinny jeans
They are essential for a rock look. Cuts and holes, studs, lace, everything is fine. The important thing is that the jeans are black or gray.
- Leggings are also good. Pair an oversized sweater with black leggings for an easy-going outfit.
- Cuff the jeans to show off the shoes.
Step 2. Buy some leather pants
Just as the leather jacket is a fundamental element, so are the leather pants. Leather is expensive, so you can also get faux leather pants or leggings. In any case, it helps to give a rocker air.
Step 3. Make your own jean shorts
Leather pants are not the most comfortable thing in the summer. To keep the rock look despite the heat, wear shorts. Most clothing stores sell short jean shorts with frayed edges, but to give your look an even bolder and more personalized air, make them yourself. Buy jeans at a thrift store and cut the legs to the desired length. You can fray the edges as much as you like for a tattered look.
Short jeans also look great over black leggings or lace tights, combined with combat boots or biker boots
Step 4. Complete the look with some leather boots
Perhaps even more important than the leather jacket or pants are black leather boots. If you want to be sexier, try a pair that goes above the knee, paired with a dress. The classic low biker boots are a tougher piece that you can pair with any piece of your wardrobe.
Step 5. Always have some variety of shoes
Ok, bikers are a must, but where's the fun in always matching the same pair of shoes to every outfit? Add other pieces to your wardrobe, such as combat boots, studded boots, heels or canvas shoes.
Try undoing combat boots for a bolder look
Part 3 of 4: Having the Right Accessories
Step 1. Never say no to studs
They are a fundamental element of the rock look. They go well with anything, boots, vests, jeans, jewelry, bags. The more studs you have, the better.
You can add studs to any garment you have. Buy them at a haberdashery and apply them to jeans, vests or anything else
Step 2. Layer your jewelry
Studs, spikes, skulls, birds, hearts, stars, wings, whatever you want in your jewelry, get it. Black, silver, gold, pink or mixed colors are fine when you combine your pieces into a perfect rock look. Wear an important necklace and hinged earrings. Put on a necklace of bottle caps and fill your wrists with bracelets. Have fun while matching the jewels to clothing.
Step 3. Put on sunglasses and a hat
They are the final pieces of your outfit. Think about what kind of glasses and hat go well with the clothing to get the right combination.
- Try a soft hat, panama hat, bowler hat or wool cap.
- As for the glasses, try Rayban, aviator, cat's eye or round glasses. A classic black is the safest choice, but many of these models come in black and white or black and pink, which can enhance your rock look.
- Try a headband. In place of the hat, complete the look with a headband with studs or lace.
Step 4. Bring the perfect bag
Handbags with studs or bags with fringes complete the rock look. You could also customize your bag. Add brooches, buttons and studs for a truly unique piece.
Part 4 of 4: Complete the Character
Step 1. Emphasize your messy look
Tousled hair is part of the rocker look, regardless of whether you have it short or long. Waves or messy curls are the ultimate look, but layers and bangs can give you a more provocative look no matter your hair type.
Scruffy and soft clothing goes great with this messy and slightly wild look. The hair perfects the overall image
Step 2. Color your hair
Bright colors or two different shades scream rock and roll. Go with platinum blonde, or jet black highlights. Color a front lock of blue, purple or pink for a hint of transgression. If you want to overdo it, dye them all a crazy color, like candy pink.
Step 3. Get the perfect make-up
Rock makeup is a mix of dramatic eyes and neutral colors. Cat eyes, smoky-eyes, a lot of mascara with neutral lips are the perfect features for a rocker makeup.
- Apply black eyeliner on both lids, above and below, and just smudge it for a messy look. Complete with an eyeshadow in shades of black or gray, and finish the work with black mascara. Green or blue eyeshadows are also good.
- Paint your nails in dark colors to enhance the rest of the look.
Step 4. Get tattoos or piercings
Rockers have always used tattoos as forms of self expression. Others use piercings to decorate their bodies. Nose rings and tattoos can highlight your look.
- The tattoos are permanent. Taking them off is painful and expensive. Get a tattoo only if you really want to. Never do it to follow a trend or to impress someone.
- Although piercings are less permanent, only get one if you really want to.
Step 5. Get the right attitude
Rock girls are very confident. Wear your look with a lot of confidence. A rock girl is always looking for thrills, she loves to have fun, but she is also relaxed.
- Listen to the rock music you love and try to get to know as many bands as possible. Go to concerts, buy CDs and vinyls, enjoy the music, this is the foundation of your character after all.
- Being rebellious and getting into trouble is the stereotype of the rock lifestyle. Do not overdo it. You can be an authentic rock girl, enjoy the music and the lifestyle, and have a certain side out of the rules even without getting into trouble or isolating yourself from friends and family.
Step 6. Don't try too hard
Clothing, makeup, attitude are just pieces. Part of the character of the rock girl is also not to try too hard. When choosing what to wear, don't overdo it. Don't put everything in one outfit, sprinkle leather, studs and layers of jewelry on different outfits.
- Be true to yourself and what you like and dislike. This is just a guide, add your personality and individuality to the way you play your rocker character.
- Don't put on or do things that make you feel uncomfortable. Be yourself, not an imposter.
- Don't brag about your image, just live it.
