Rockabilly Wear

A Distinct Style

Those who are familiar with rockabilly know that it is not just a musical genre � it has inspired a complete lifestyle, including rockabilly wear. Yes, even a fashion trend emerged from this sub-culture of followers and music lovers.

What constitutes rockabilly wear? It consists of an imitation of the popular 50�s artists like Buddy Holly or Jerry Lee Lewis, considered true rockabilly idols. Typical rockabilly wear consists of slacks paired with pastel colored or Daddy-O style shirts and topped off by a baggy coat, with the shirt collar worn over the coat collar.

Creeper shoes are also a distinct part of rockabilly wear. Though coming in practically every color of the spectrum, classic black and white creeper shoes still seem to be the most popular option. Rockabillies, or �Billies� for short, are frequently confused with other well-known sub-culture styles, like Greasers, Teds (Teddy Boys), and Rockers, all of which originated from the same era, but there is definitely a noticeable difference.

Rockabilly wear creates a uniqueness and presence within the rock community that simply cannot be equaled. The clothing has had nearly as much influence on society as the music itself. This sub-culture, though having practically died right along with Buddy Holly in the 1959 plane crash, almost seems to be growing now. In the 1980�s, The Stray Cats saw great success in their music, and they can attribute their style to the rockabilly influence. They single-handedly revived not only the music, but also the rockabilly wear.

Rockabilly music has become a genre of its own and cannot be categorized as one specific type of music. The influence of this movement has been so strong as to create a lasting fashion statement with rockabilly wear. With the kind of following it has, rockabilly wear and music are not soon to fade from view.
