The fashion for rockers has always tried to symbolize the chaos and angry. Frustration and anger are the two keywords for the rock style in music, fashion and even in lifestyle. The rhythm of the rock music is fast and heavy as the clothes, shoes and accessories of the rockers. Rock followers are members of a kind of subculture, which uses the sounds and the vision to go beyond the rules of the society, to make it wake up for a real life. Therefore fashion for rockers seems to create a surreal effect…

Though hard rockers usually gravitate around the black colour, this is not the only possibility for rockers’ clothes. It is better to say that the modern rockers fashion is an eclectic combination of ordinary items with new vision. A black leather corset may be worn in a combination with a school uniform. A very short skirt made of a checked fabric over torn tights and knee high black boots is another set of clothing and accessories. Jackets and T-shirts are decorated with pins, prickles, loops and metal chains. The symbol behind all these fashion accents is that the individual is out of control and feels the real life.

The printings over shirts, jackets, trousers and even short dresses are very typical for the rockers fashion. Dragons, evils, and skeletons, are among the most frequently used patterns. Even a short black dress becomes “rocker trendy” if ornate with an eagles crest or dangling chains are put on the straps. Horses, knifes, wings and mystic symbols are typical “male” patterns, which can be found not only on leader jackets, but on T-shirts, sweatshirts and even on the pockets of the trousers.

In fact, fashion fetishism is something very typical for rockers styling. Special haircuts and multiple earrings, together with piercing and tattoos raise the flag of affiliation to the rockers group. Rockers maniacs are tied to accessories, which would surprise the ordinary people. Black power cord looks great when it is wrapped around the arms. Braces are other popular type of accessories, which can have different type of printed symbols on them as well. Even the high technologies influence the rockers’ fashion: trendy accessories are old computer cables, wrapped around the upper part of the body.

However, a lot of people of different age today wear clothes, which belong to the rocker’s style. The popularity of the fashion for rockers is due to the social message of this subculture: the rocker is a free person. If you would like to dress properly, use clothes that look used, torn and “second hand”, even they are pretty new. T-shirt in black with gothic ornamentation, black glasses, and heavy black boots (for motorcycle or military ones) are enough to have a “rocker look”. The pants must be tight, both tapered jeans and leather pants are possible. Women have to combine feminine look dress with masculine boots and accessories. Frequently, clothes are purposely torn and consequently the pieces of fabrics are hold together with pins. That is really cool!
