The rocker style is typical of those who go directly from bed to stage, repeatedly banging their heads on the way. Boys and girls, if you are a fan of rock and classic rock style, this guide is for you. Just read from Step 1 to learn how to dress like rockers.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Rock Style for Girls
Step 1. Try on ripped jeans
If you want a cool, scruffy look, wear ripped jeans. Take a pair of old jeans and using a razor make cuts at the knees. Or, wear a pair of jeans until they rip, for an even more authentic look. Skinny or baggy jeans, both are fine to be ripped or cut.
Brand new clothes are not suitable for rock'n'roll style. If you want to have a vintage look while wearing new clothes, wash them a couple of times, run them in the car or leave them in the sun for a few days so that they become discolored. By doing so they will age quickly and look more lived-in
Step 2. Wear t-shirts from large bands or one size up
If you really want to be a rock girl, wear band shirts. Find vintage jerseys from a specific tour of your favorite band, or classic rock icons such as Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and the Stones to make no mistake.
A very trendy rock solution among girls is to cut the sleeves or the neck to make the shirt look more like a top, even better if it's a boy's shirt. Wear a white undershirt underneath to make sure you don't see anything
Step 3. Put on an old cardigan or flannel shirt over it
Boys' shirts are perfect for rock girls. Grandpa's old sweater will look great when worn with a Sabbath tee over ripped jeans. It is an original and ironic way to dress in rock style.
Step 4. Wear girlish clothes with aggressive accessories
The rocker look is characterized by extremes. A babydoll, a dress or a sundress are not very rock, but if you combine them with leather boots you will be a perfect rocker. Customize your look with accessories like leather boots or ripped jeans.
Step 5. Wear red lipstick and black eyeliner
The rocker makeup is easy to do. Don't go off topic. Black eyeliner and red lips are perfect for a dramatic and rock'n'roll look, in perfect harmony with your new style.
Betty Page makeup is still very much in fashion among rock girls and could be a source of inspiration
Step 6. Leave your hair very long or cut it very short
Rock girls love extremes: long hair, below the shoulders, tufts up to the eyebrows are one of the many possibilities. Start growing your hair if you want to adopt this look. Otherwise, the shorter the better. What's more rock'n'roll than a very short punk cut? Or a ridge?
Rock hair is usually famous for being careless, especially the tufts that fall on the face. But this does not mean that you must have a bird's nest on your head
Step 7. Use cheap necklaces and vintage bracelets as accessories
As a good rocker, you can wear different beautiful jewels. Buy cheap vintage accessories, anything that seems to come from another era, rather than new and expensive jewelry. Accessories make the difference. Bandanas, chunky rings and piercings are all the rage among rockers. He wears a lot of rings - lots on each hand - because he is very rock.
Wear different necklaces one on top of the other. It's possible to go overboard when it comes to accessories, but it's hard to get a good result. Rock'n'roll is often an exaggerated style, but very cool at the same time. Be prepared to overdo it
Step 8. Get inspired by rock icons
What's better than being inspired by real rocking? Here are some rock icons:
- Janis Joplin.
- Madonna.
- Courtney Love.
- Annie Clark (St. Vincent).
- Chan Marshall (Cat Power).
- Paz Lenchantin.
Method 2 of 2: Rock Style for Boys
Step 1. Grow your hair
Nothing is more rock than a guy with long hair. Make them grow. If you have curly hair, you can use it for an afro look, while if it is straight you can pull it up in a high bun in the "pineapple" style for the perfect guitarist. Medium length? Up to the neck? You decide how much you want to be a rocker.
Step 2. To avoid mistakes, wear a shirt and jeans
They looked good on James Dean and will look good on you too - a plain white tee with tight jeans is the perfect look. On the other hand, if you want an extra touch, choose a simple V-neck sweater and a pair of Ray-Bans.
- As for clothing, the simpler it is usually the better. The shirt must be plain and solid or have a band logo. Vintage dresses are better than new ones.
- For garments to wear over T-shirts, choose flannel, denim or far west-style shirts. Roll up the sleeves: in addition to preventing them from bothering while you play the guitar, they are very "cool".
Step 3. Put on denim or leather clothing
Everyone is super cool in a leather biker jacket. Ditto for the denim jacket: it's quite gorgeous. Choose a tight and vintage one if possible. Old and worn denim jackets are for the perfect rocker, while those in faux leather are cheap and won't ruin if you dive into the pool.
Step 4. For shoes, put on boots or chucks
The Chuck Taylors, or Converse up to the ankle, are always in fashion. Whether they're ankle-high or even higher, that's okay. Choose a classic white, black or multicolor pair. Start by collecting lots of pairs, so you can change them often and wear shoes in 2 different colors. In this case the possibilities are endless.
If you can find them, cowboy or Beatles-style boots are super rock'n'roll. Wear them over your pants to make you look taller
Step 5. Wear accessories in moderation
A necklace, bandana or ring may work, but avoid looking like a Carnival dress. Choose one type of accessory at a time.
Piercings and tattoos are rock'n'roll, of course. If you really want to be a rocker, give us a little thought. Some piercings and tattoos are permanent, so make sure you really want them before tattooing all of your arms or piercing your ears. Think carefully and make sure you have your parents' permission
Step 6. Choose the classic rock style
An old and tight sports jacket with a far west style shirt and jeans is the typical rocker look. You can find a lot of rock and vintage clothes in second-hand shops and flea markets for little change. Try on many different clothes and choose the right ones to avoid having a too dated look.
Inspired by rock icons such as the 1966 Bob Dylan or the 2002 Strokers, especially to understand how to wear jackets
Step 7. Avoid shorts and tails
Golden rule of rockers: no shorts and ponytails. If you want to be a rocker avoid these things, especially if you play in a band and perform in public.
If you really have to wear shorts, they must be jeans you cut yourself, and they should be worn out. This look is only good when it is very hot, you have been warned
