Rockabilly Womens Clothing

Opening Doors

 

 Rockabilly music was a major hit in the mid-1950’s that created a huge sub-culture.  As a rebellious style of music (think of Elvis Presley and his “swaying hips” that caused a huge controversy), it would make sense that those who jump on the bandwagon and follow the style would dress in a controversial manner.  Rockabilly womens clothing worked hard to do so, breaking rules while still remaining sexy.

Though some rockabilly womens clothing were less obviously rebellious, some was made to attract attention and push forward an attitude that rules were made to be broken.  Simple rockabilly womens clothing that was not so off the beaten path included form-fitting gingham blouses with short full sleeves, paired with straight skirts that showed off sleek, long legs.  Other women opted for a swing dress, which was lower cut at the top and had more of a flare to the skirt that was a lot less restrictive for dancing.

Rockabilly womens mens clothing were among the first articles of clothing to include pants for women as a normal clothing item.  The pedal pushers worn as part of rockabilly womens clothing were completely unacceptable in society and were a very rebellious movement.  However, they opened up a new path for women, who almost immediately latched on and began wearing what are now referred to as capris.

Today, rockabilly womens clothing includes Daddy-O style shirts have been brought into the 21st century for womens mens fashion, with form fitting shape that wasn’t offered back in the 1950’s.  Creeper shoes have also been created in every color under the sun for women as well as men.

If you’re looking for vintage rockabilly womens clothing, start with the internet.  You’ll find a mixture of vintage rockabilly womens clothing left over from the 1950’s (some, you’ll find, is in much better shape than others), as well as newly manufactured items made in imitation of the 1950’s icons that a rockabilly woman so adores.
