Rock & Roll style in clothes
In 1954, Bill Haley sang the song "Rock around The Clock" - this year is considered the time of the emergence of rock - a new direction in music. The youth listened to the new music, and it is no wonder that a new style appeared in clothes - clothes in the style of "rock". Of course, he echoed the music - new rhythms were reflected in all the details of these clothes.
Appearing as a new direction in music, rock was divided into many currents - hard rock, rock and roll, punk rock and so on. And each of these trends, in turn, had its fans, who wanted to reflect their favorite music, its complexity, its philosophy in their appearance.
Peculiarities
The main feature of rock clothing is rebelliousness and brutality. The most commonly used materials are leather, denim and metal. Particular attention is paid to accessories - chains, bracelets, rivets and so on.
Of all the "rocks" rock and roll is the easiest and most fun style. Rock and roll today is torn or frayed jeans, a leather jacket, dark glasses, a printed T-shirt. For girls, there is a choice between "female" and "male" styles. "Feminine" style means a short mini-skirt made of jeans or leather, which always guarantees attention. "Male" style is jeans, belts, brutal heavy boots. An obligatory part of the style is large badges and rings, tattoos. Men's elements in clothing and accessories are required. They can be belts, zippers, chains.The main slogan of rock and roll life is "Declare yourself to everyone!"
Lady hawk, metal spikes and rivets - this is also rock and roll. Random people don't dress up in rock style. This is a style for "bad girls", clothes in the style of rock and roll should distinguish their mistress from the crowd. She may have a lot of jewelry, but we must not forget that in the classic rock of the sixties there was a desire for some kind of minimalism.
Femininity of style
Nevertheless, life and style undergo changes over time. A girl can take on a rock and roll look and still be feminine and elegant. This will help, for example, a top with an expressive print and a studded necklace. You can wear a pink sweatshirt and a leather flared skirt, as well as sneakers with metal studs.
Another clothing option is denim. Faded denim all over. It can be complemented with studded earrings and an original printed T-shirt.
And one more idea. Mixed with military style. Large details, heavy boots, dark glasses - and already a completely new look.
Colors and makeup
There are no established rules regarding the color scheme. A combination of black and white is considered a classic, but bright colors can also be used, but with caution, since rock and roll does not accept flashy shades.
The girl's makeup should be noticeable. You can use a black pencil and shadows. Eyes and lips stand out, but at the same time, some negligence is possible in the makeup. Lipstick can be used in red or burgundy.
And what about celebrities?
Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan - these are examples of stars who have declared themselves in the style of rock and roll.
