Men’s rockabilly clothing style is usually working class with some bits of swinger-chic thrown in. This look can be a lot of fun to wear and does not take a lot of money to put together. One of the most important pieces to own is the classic black Dickies Original 874 work pant.
Do not forget to add a few work shirts as well. In addition to the work clothing, get some long slim cut jeans that you can cuff and some white t-shirts so you can roll the sleeves up a bit. Include a western shirt or two for some diversity. If you can find a letter jacket at a flea market, resale shop or thrift store get one to wear along with the white t-shirts. In addition, a well-worn black leather motorcycle jacket is a great coat to have that will add some authenticity when putting together a men’s rockabilly-clothing wardrobe.
They can usually be found at resale shops or flea markets for a reasonable price. Another nice jacket addition is a shop jacket with a name patch in the classic colors of navy, black, gray or olive green. A Western style jacket is slim with a banded waist, cowboy snaps and ornate stitching and looks great with men’s rockabilly clothing. For a casual look buy a wool tweed jacket with knit cuffs, collar and waist. Again, you may be able to find some of the jackets mentioned at resale shops or vintage stores.
A slim fitting suit with a skinny collar and two or more buttons and higher waistline is great to wear to a dressier event. A sharkskin suit that has a high sheen will really turn heads. Check with resale shops or vintage stores for a suit of this type. Western suits are another good addition when putting together men’s rockabilly clothing items. Accessorize your suit by adding a skinny tie with a tie bar or tie tack. Cufflinks designed as dice, playing cards or hot rods work well with the look also. Add a pair of Buddy Holly style glasses with clear lenses if you do not need glasses or get the same style with your prescription if you do need glasses.
To complete the men’s rockabilly clothing style wear a pair of wingtips or oxfords. Thick-soled platform creepers have roots in the punk scene but work well with a rockabilly wardrobe. Creepers with flames, polka dots or plaids look especially good.
Top off your men’s rockabilly clothing with a pompadour hairstyle from the 50s. Do not forget to use the wax or pomade to give it that slick wet look and to hold the style in place. For more information on rockabilly fashion please visit http://rebelcircus.com/men.html.
