Your Guide To Doing Men's Rockabilly Fashion- The Right Way
For inspiration, start thinking of early Elvis, Buddy Holly all the way up to more modern influences such as The Stray Cats and the guys from Weezer. Following these Rockabilly fashion tips, you'll be good to go.
Rockabilly Fashion Tip #1: Rock Out A Slick Daddy-O Shirt
Whether you call it the Daddy-O shirt, a Bowling shirt, or just the Rockabilly Style shirt, it's a must!
The Gotta Have Shirt
If there's one item you gotta have before stepping out to your next Rockabilly concert, it's gotta be the Daddy-O shirt. Though it might look like just an ordinary collared shirt, the memories associated with bowling nights and even tough Rockabilly rockers makes this shirt an icon more than anything else.
Get That Collar Out
The most important part of these shirts is the collar. When sporting these shirts, it's a good idea to pair them with a sport coat and let the collar hang out along outside the lapels of the jacket. Check out old photos of stars like Jerry Lee Lewis to see what I mean.
Go Bold By Going Pastel
When choosing a shirt, you should know that pastel colors were popular at the height of Rockabilly. But these days, you can get way with a black shirt with some color on it to still pull off the style easily.
Choose Your Favorite Rockabilly Fashions
Get your vote in about which Rockabilly style you like best
Rockabilly fashion isn't only found in the USA. In Tokyo's Yoyogi park, you can find a Rockabilly group like no other. Which do you like best; international Rockabilly style or homeland spins on this 50s fashion?
Rockabilly Fashion Tip #2: You Gotta Sport The Creepers
Rock these classic shoes for awesome Rockabilly style
From head to toe, it's possible to become a true Rockabilly. The Creeper Shoe, also known as Brothel Creepers, was first made by a guy named George Cox in 1949. But they gained fame in the 1950s as they were the shoes of choice for the Rockabilly crows.
While you'll mostly see them in black and white, Creeper shoes come in all sorts of colors and patterns.

Rockabilly Fashion Tip #3: Get Your Skinny Tie On
With a skinny tie around your neck, you're almost on your way to completing your Rockabilly new look. These ties aren't your average old neck tie though. Show off your switchblade love with a pink tie- or maybe some standard black and white skulls.
