Dress Like Jimi Hendrix - A Rock Star Guide to Fashion
Step 1 to Looking Like Jimi Hendrix - The Shirt
Full Sleeve Button Down Shirts for Rock Stars
When going for the true 'Jimi Hendrix' look it is important to remember that there was more to Hendrix than just ratty t-shirts. Jimi Hendrix was also known for his long sleeved button down shirts with psychedelic patterns dancing across them.An authentic Jimi Hendrix clothing retailer like Jimi Hendrix Clothing that has the full support of the Jimi Hendrix Foundation offers some of these same shirts in that truly excellent 70's button down style.
Blues, Browns, and Oranges were very common colors in these shirts in the 1970's and they can still exude that Jimi Hendrix 'coolness' that so many try to achieve but fail at.
There are three golden rules of rock star style that must be obeyed when trying to present yourself a
s an icon of cool:- Long sleeves, button down, and wide collars and cuffs.
- No bright neon colors
- Silk is okay but Cotton is best. Stay away from sleazy fabrics.
Of course, if the barrage of color seems a little overwhelming to you but you still want to have the Jimi Hendrix Experience occur every time you enter a room, you can always go with a more subtle and understated look that still screams 'Rock Star'.All you have to do is remember to dress like television used to be : in Black and White . When used correctly, Black and White rock star button down shirts can be even more effective.
When you decide to encapsulate the essence of Jimi Hendrix in just Black and White it then becomes all about the pattern and Jimi was the master of swirls, blooms, and other psychedelic fashion statements. Don't re-invent the rock star clothing wheel, just follow along and hold on for the ride.

Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower Live! Isle Of Wight
All Along The Watchtower Live! Isle Of Wight 1970 F.Y.i. i will only post Hendrix himself in the video responses. i will not post joe blow, trying and destroying classic Hendrix songs..Thanks question answered; "Many people influenced Jimi Hendrix also. Joe Blow may be one. " Joe Blow might me one, but i did not post this video for others to gain fame. trust me, i know my Hendrix. My father put headphones on my moms belly when i was in there....Im 27. u should see my inbox. it gets annoying after a while when people use the view count for internet fame.. off of a legend. Hendrix put so much soul into his music, it was his gift to us, so when i hear others try to play like him.... What i mean is, Hendrix would never even play his songs the same way twice, so why do you??? i overstand some of you might simply want to keep his memory alive, and that's great. i just chose not to put video responses of it. All the best, NoDoz PS Thank you for supporting this video over the years
