Rock style in men's clothing
Every year, a large number of new styles of clothing appear in the world. Designers do not stand still, but come up with fashionable, sometimes controversial novelties. We know subcultures that at a certain period were incredibly popular and had their own themed accessories, hairstyle, makeup and, of course, clothes. But there is always what is called an immortal classic, although, quite possibly, it looks quite extravagant.
This concept includes a style called rock. More precisely, the style of rocker clothing. It is characterized by many different branches, and each of them has a different, sometimes dramatically different appearance. Let's analyze the most interesting on the example of rock-style clothing for a strong half of humanity.
Peculiarities
Rock and roll, grunge, punk rock, gothic, glam rock - all these are the directions of music. It is difficult to imagine that each of these areas has its own, absolutely unique style of clothing. Rock musicians, as well as men who are true fans of this musical genre, do not change their traditions and tastes in clothes. RLet us analyze briefly the features of each of the images.
Rock'n'roll
Can be called the most romantic manifestation of rock in clothes. Let's even remember one of the most popular rock and roll artists - Elvis Presley. For men, a distinctive feature is a well-groomed head of hair, combed back. Flared trousers are welcomed in clothes.
But the most popular to this day manifestation of the image of an inveterate rock and roll player is the role of Johnny Depp from the movie "Crybaby": a white T-shirt, biker jacket and flared jeans.
Punk rock
This is the most extraordinary and sometimes frightening image. Not everyone dares to try on the clothes of such a bully, because the final appearance was formed in the post-war period. He was distinguished by the fact that men put on everything the cheapest and most easily accessible. The exception was the leather jacket. Well, if we talk about the most important thing - this is the famous Mohawk. In modern times, mohawks are worn less often, but a punk rocker in a crowd is easy to distinguish by bright clothes and an abundance of stripes on it.
Grunge
Plain sneakers, a flannel check shirt, ripped jeans - many are now dressed that way. But with the right things, this style can add brutality. A prominent representative, as well as the progenitor of grunge, is Kurt Cobain.
Gothic
It is the darkest style in clothing, adds mystery to a man. In clothes and make-up (yes, in a man's make-up), the predominant color in 90% of cases should be black. Even better if it is a black leather coat, black leather pants and black pencil eyes. Goths pay special attention to nails, so it will not be superfluous for a man to paint them in black, without fear of sidelong glances. Marilyn Manson and Ozzy Osbourne are prime examples.
Glam rock
Unlike the style described above, glam rock is not at all intimidating or aggressive. It's a mixture of brutal rock and sexy glamor that came together on stage in the late 70s. Men should be slightly casual in their clothes. Monochrome colors prevail on things, and the most colorful prints on a T-shirt are also important. The male representatives in the glam rock direction were Freddie Mercury and David Bowie.
How to create a rocker look?
In the creation of any image, both bright accents and small details play an important role. It is important not only to wear the right clothes or choose the right hairstyle, but also to be able to combine several details in one bow.Men who manage to stick to rock style make a lasting impression. If you do not go into detail in each direction of rock, then to create a full-fledged classic image of a man - a lover of heavy music - you will need the following attributes.
- Leather Jacket. You can also attach iron rivets to it, which can be found in almost any jewelry store.
- Black or blue jeans. Recently, ripped pants have gained their popularity, but you need to remember that holes on them should not prevail. It is best to choose a small number of cuts that will also be very small.
- T-shirt, the print on which are photographs of rock bands or pictures of musical instruments.
- Hairstyle. Again, if we are taking a more classic look for a masculine look, then the best option would be hair neatly styled with gel. If a man has long hair, then it is enough to simply dissolve them.
Choice of accessories and shoes
Separately, I would like to talk about the choice of shoes and accessories. In creating a female image, of course, it is easier, because the choice of these two components on the market and in stores is great. It's more difficult with men. Truly, the main footwear for a man-rocker is ankle boots, which are popularly called “bastards”. They differ from the famous boots from the military trade in their variety of designs. They are sold in rock stores and are low, high, lace-up, with iron and others.
Of course, not everyone dares to purchase such shoes for their wardrobe, and their price can reach 50,000 rubles. Although they look befitting the style of a man who has linked his life with heavy music.
A less ambitious and expensive option is sneakers. They have a lot of pluses against the background of "reptiles": a variety of colors, different laces, lightness, price. And the most important plus is convenience, since ankle boots are several times heavier than sneakers. Of course, every man chooses for himself, so after trying on different shoes, you can easily find the "one".
As for accessories, you can find rings in the shape of crosses, dragons, guitars in almost every jewelry department. Small diameter hoop earrings are very popular. Above we have already mentioned rivets that can be attached literally to all clothes. To support the rock style, a backpack-bag is suitable. Perhaps this is the most popular type of bag for men. Most often, these backpacks are black and have a print in the center.
