Rockabilly Apparel

A Musically Inspired Style

 

True rockabilly is a musical style that roots itself in a movement that originated in the 50�s, when musicians blended rock with rhythm and blues.  They took this style and stripped it back to a minimalist musical style, and out of this creation came artists such as Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis.  Even some of Elvis� works are attributed to the rockabilly style of music.

Rockabilly apparel became a well-known trait of these musical geniuses, credit.  Not only was a musical style created; an entire fashion movement was created.  One of the most noticeable pieces of rockabilly apparel is the pastel colored or Daddy-O style shirt.  Add to that a pair of slacks, and the traditional rockabilly apparel is almost complete.  Top it off with a baggy coat, the shirt collar worn over the coat collar to finish off the clothing.

Creeper shoes finish off the rockabilly apparel.  Though a traditional black and white combination is still the most popular choice, creeper shoes come in almost every color in the palette.  Rockabillies, or �Billies� for short, as they are often called, are easily spotted in true rockabilly apparel, which fits the image of this particular genre of rocker.  However, they are frequently confused with Greasers, Teds (Teddy Boys), and Rockers, other sub-cultures that are fairly well known in mainstream society, all of which originated from the same era.

Rockabilly apparel is a musically inspired style that creates a unique persona and maintains a visible presence for the followers of the rockabilly movement.  Though the modern day rockabilly style is not as commonplace as it once was, there are still stars working to keep the musical genre, as well as the fashion statement, alive.  In the 1980�s, The Stray Cats were a very successful group playing music that was said to take the lead in renewing the rockabilly movement.  They wore the rockabilly apparel, kept the hairstyle, and sang the music that had true rockabilly flair.  With such a prominent sub-culture, rockabilly apparel and music will not disappear anytime in the near future.
