A rockabilly weekend may include a getaway to Las
Vegas, one of the rockabilly capitals of the world, perhaps as a road trip
in a 1950’s style car or on a Harley Davidson, both of these being
preferred methods of transportation for true “rockabillies”. Rockabilly weekends may be spent wearing clothing that
resembles the style of 1950’s superstars like Carl Perkins, Johhny Cash,
Roy Orbison, and Buddy Holly. Daddy-O
style shirts, baggy sport jackets, slacks, and creeper shoes define the
menswear. The classic
rockabilly hairstyle is worn with lots of Brylcreem to hold the pompadour
shape and provide a notable shine.
If you’ve never heard rockabilly
music, you are missing out. Rockabilly
is a style that was created in the mid-1950’s when Elvis Presley and
some of his musical friends were fooling around in a Memphis studio.
The genre has been improved upon since.
Today, rockabilly is different than the original 50’s style, but
a rockabilly weekend inspires great fun and dating opportunities.

A female planning a rockabilly
weekend may wear a gingham vintage-style blouse with capri pants, (the
modern day equivalent of the 1950’s pedal pushers made popular by the
rebellious rockabilly chicks of the time).
Perhaps the lady may decide on a straight wool skirt paired with
peek toe shoes, or perhaps a swing style dress resembling early rockabilly
wear. Then again, the modern
rockabilly woman may choose to wear a simple female-style Daddy-O shirt
with feminized creeper shoes on her rockabilly weekend.
Out on the town in Las Vegas, the rockabilly
weekend will probably include a visit to an Elvis impersonation
performance and perhaps a trip to some sort of concert or club venue,
where rockabilly music is the norm. Whether
your preference is classic or modern revival rockabilly, a rockabilly
weekend is sure to be a good time.
