MEN'S AND WOMEN'S ROCKABILLY CLOTHING FAQ
Notes about rockabilly clothing
Basically, rockabilly clothing retro or vintage 1950s clothing, often with a punk edge or twist. Usually the clothing focuses on the fashions of young people (like greasers, as opposed to the suits and hats that old men wore).
Men's rockabilly clothing tends to focus not only on young fashions, but also the working class. While dressy two-tone leather shoes, herringbone trousers, and a flashy sports coat may be vintage, that look is edging towards the "swing" look. Rockabilly tends to be more working class, such as boots (engineer or cowboy), Converse high tops, blue jeans, wide leather belts with big buckles, or motorcycle jackets. For instance, rockabilly clothing might be a bowling shirt. If it's vintage (old), that's great, otherwise you can buy a new one. The new one may be a copy of an old bowling shirt, or may have a punk kind of twist (flames, or skulls, or leopard print, for example).
Women's rockabilly clothing is often more conservative (dresses or skirts) but rockabilly girls often spice it up with crazy retro-type earrings (dice, for instance), tattoos, or a Betty Page hairstyle.

Example
of retro rockabilly clothing:
Here's a new retro bowling shirt. Note how it has the same styling
as the vintage one to the left, but with its leopard print panel, the
motif is much edgier. The shirt is reminiscent of the 50's, it
honors the 50's, and has the wild spirit of great rockabilly
clothing. There's not only not enough vintage clothing to go around,
there's some pretty awesome new retro stuff which can be really fun.
