Fashionable rock-chic style from rebellion to secular traditions. Rock girl - your independence! Rock chic style in clothes

In the autumn-winter season of this year, the rock-chic style is rising to the peak of popularity. He was born in the 70s of the twentieth century, but today he has changed beyond recognition.

The fashionable trend - rock - was born thanks, accordingly, to rock music. Its brightest representatives, be it Jimi Hendrix, Freddie Mercury, Sting or Jim Morrison, had their own philosophy, free manners and dressed as they wanted.

The word “rock” is translated from English as “to rock” or “to rock.” The main difference between the style: absolute masculinity, brutality. Jackets, jackets, trousers made of thick, rough leather or denim, cotton T-shirts and hoodies with images of musical groups were in use. For footwear - “Cossacks” or heavy boots-grinders.

The accessories were not very diverse: large metal chains, leather bracelets with spikes, rings and earrings with crosses, skulls, wolf's mouths, etc. The general color was black with occasional splashes of white. The general mood is rebellion, protest against all the rules.

Just as there are dozens of trends in rock music, rock style has become the progenitor of many branches associated with subcultures. In the early 90s, the grunge style was born. It is believed that it was invented by the leader of the Nirvana group, Kurt Cobain, although it is unlikely that he personally was involved in fashion developments. However, Cobain wore such clothes, loved them, and it was with his light hand that they became very popular.

Characteristic features of the style: loose fit, almost complete absence of color - worn out or indistinct, dirty shades. Torn clothes with raw edges and patches, careless and even sloppy are required.

Grunge appealed to teenagers who waged their war with the adult world and protested against the cult of glamor and luxury.

For the first time, designer Marc Jacobs dared to bring this trend to the catwalk. He was booed, critics wrote that grunge is clothing for homeless people. However, oddly enough, the style caught on, it was picked up by many fashion houses, and manufacturers began producing products from high-quality fabrics at incredible prices.

As a result, clothes for the homeless have turned into glamorous ones, and today torn jeans are almost a mandatory attribute in the wardrobe of any social beauty.

At the beginning of the 21st century, another direction appeared - glam rock. In his arsenal, on the one hand, there are already familiar leather jackets, bracelets with spikes, etc. On the other, bright and light colors, shiny fabrics, complex cuts, and the use of patent leather. A deliberate combination of the incongruous.

Chic rock, which has become the number one style today, has gone even further. It allows you to wear a black leather biker jacket with a lace dress and high heels. The order of things is a tight little black leather dress with bare shoulders, tight leather trousers with a silk jacket of unimaginable colors - a kind of red-yellow-green-blue fireworks, or a leather miniskirt with a transparent ruffled blouse.

Shoes are very diverse: biker boots or more feminine lace-up boots, tall (the higher the better) boots, bright stilettos, ballet flats.

Rock chic is also appropriate for evening receptions in the most sophisticated society. A long pleated or floor-length A-line skirt is very popular in combination with a leather corset with studs, the same handbag and high-heeled shoes. The cut can be asymmetrical, the wrap can be oblique, the hem can be long at the back and short at the front.

Jewelry with precious stones is welcome. Diamonds on bracelets or necklaces, surprisingly, may well coexist with spikes or rocker paraphernalia.

You could choose to offer the public and the strict jury your (1) rebellious OR (2) sensual rock-chic image. As soon as I read the terms of the competition, it immediately became clear to me in what role I would try myself. I never felt like a seductive heartbreaker and femme fatale, so option number 2 disappeared by itself. Apparently, I still have rebellious blood flowing in me, since I didn’t even have to go shopping, I managed to put together all the looks from my basic items in my wardrobe. And for myself personally, I have identified 3 main types that clearly characterize the rock-chic style. Well, let's transform!

Number 1. Rock star, gender female

This is a very interesting character with a strong character, and he (in our case she) moves exclusively in his old, holey, dirty, well-worn shoes. Well, how could it be otherwise? And try dragging around a guitar and lighting equipment in stiletto heels! That's it, for the sake of completeness I brought this bandura to the garage, and I regretted a hundred times that I had not found the drumsticks.

So, in addition to old boots, old T-shirts, leather jackets and pants, plaid shirts, preferably black, are used! A rocker hat of some sort would also work.

Ripped denim shorts, in my case over leather pants.

Crazy jewelry and accessories. Silver, metal, leather! Just please, no gold!

The brightest representatives are Suzy Quatro, Pink, Zemfira.

Number 2. Glamorous, no, not creepy. Punk.

She is also a very capricious, rebellious person. At least in fashion, he doesn’t recognize rules and regulations. A sort of enfant terrible de la mode. By the way, the history of fashion also knows such types, the most famous of them are Vivienne Westwood (and Jean Paul Gaultier, in parentheses because they are men). And also Cindy Lauper, Patti Smith, Gwen Stefani...

Glam punks love drama, so crazy makeup and hairstyles are encouraged. I confess, in my case it turned out to be a kindergarten version; I haven’t learned how to put on makeup yet. For clothing, checkered trousers, skirts, jackets, the colors here are already quite acceptable.

Fishnet, ripped jeans, hats, wigs. Original accessories. Rivets, pins. Well, I don’t have this yet, I’ll have to buy it...

Number 3. Glamorous rock star girlfriend.

This character is definitely my favorite. Apparently, it was not in vain that in my youth I dreamed of marrying a drummer. There is something attractive in these women, you see, some kind of strong energy... Bianca Jagger, Sharon Osbourne, Pamela Anderson. But the queen of the rebellious rock-chic style, without a doubt, can be considered Kate Moss.

So, what do we need to create this look? Fur, leather skirts, jackets, coats, leo and tiger prints, fishnet tights, stockings, suspenders, vests, boho dresses, sequins. A bunch of jewelry, right here, please, silver and gold - diamonds, and feathers... Crazy heels and hats. But the most important accessory for such a girl remains the bad boy... So, the choice is yours!

By thinking through her appearance and following a certain style, a girl expresses her inner world. Once upon a time, rock was associated only with music, and dictated fashion exclusively for its fans. How did it happen that this style became popular?

First, the original image of Elvis Presley and his bob-style hairstyle created a sensation in clothing, and later, bell-bottoms inspired by Beatlemania and T-shirts with photos of The Rolling Stones. They were replaced by hard hard rock and bright punk. Soon a glam rock style was formed, promoting bright makeup and outrageous clothing.

Characteristic accessories

Since the beginning of 2000, the rock style has firmly entered the collections of such fashion brands as Philipp Plein, Givenchy, Lacoste, Rodarte. In 2012–2013 Models appeared on the catwalk, demonstrating hippie and rockabilly style clothes for girls. And glam rock became increasingly popular among celebrities.

How not to get confused in the trends of the genre and choose the perfect wardrobe?

To look stylish, it is not necessary to study rock thoroughly; it is enough to know the main points of selecting things in this rebellious movement:

color scheme - the main black tone is complemented by grey, blue, red, shades of beige;
fabrics – leather, jeans, denim, knitwear, chiffon;
decorations in clothing - spikes, rivets, stripes, abrasions, cuts;
shoes - Martins, leather boots, high-heeled or platform shoes, sneakers.

Some spectacular combinations

An important attribute in clothing is a brown or black zipper. It can be worn over a tank top, T-shirt or even a feminine dress. Martins will complete the look. A great alternative is a plaid bomber jacket or shirt. Femininity and rudeness are the hallmarks of glam rock. Among T-shirts, popular options include names and photos of rock bands, as well as elongated models a la dresses.

Classic leather trousers, distressed jeans, and are perfect for rock style girls. They can be combined with simple blouses or untucked shirts. Wear under shorts. Skirts are also welcome - short denim with raw edges, leather with studs, denim, flared. A daring glam rock look can be achieved by combining a leather corset with skinny jeans and stiletto heels. A biker jacket on a black lace dress together with high boots will create a simply stunning effect.

For extraordinary girls, gothic or emo style will be optimal. Gothic clothing is dominated by black color, it fits the figure as closely as possible, and is distinguished by unusual accessories - gloves and stockings. In emo, the black color is diluted with a bright shade. The makeup is quite aggressive. Fluffy skirts look impressive with bright sneakers of different heights.

Gentle girls will be happy to discover the rockabilly style, which is characterized by fitted dresses with full skirts, knotted shirts with breeches, and feminine shoes. In this case, you can use bright makeup with hairstyles such as a bouffant or ponytail. The glam rock direction will also suit them.

Rockabilly imagery

Interesting rock style images can be borrowed from celebrities. Just look at photos of Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Beyoncé and creative ideas are guaranteed!

With the help of accessories you can maximize your individuality. It can be:

leather bracelets, wristbands, stud earrings, massive necklaces and pendants;
large black glam rock sunglasses;
clothing chains, badges, stripes;
rings, crosses, collars with spikes;
backpacks, bags with photos of rock bands, ornaments or simply made of black leather;
vintage items;
bandanas.

When choosing accessories, you should pay attention to costume jewelry, as well as handmade jewelry. They are perfect for this style. You can be creative and make a bracelet or bag decor yourself.

Is it possible to do without a mohawk?

Rock style does not always have to be accompanied by unusual hairstyles. If a girl is wearing bright clothes and accessories, then her hair does not require special styling. Here are some popular hairstyles:

short pixie haircut;
slight negligence, hair length is not important;
long oblique bangs are a feature of the emo style;
braids or dreadlocks;
colored strands woven into hair ribbons;
hairstyle, you can see in the photo of Rihanna;
ponytail for glam rock;
bouffant fixed with varnish.

The final touch - make-up

Like hairstyles, makeup does not have to be provocative, although it is typical for this trend. But it all depends on the event for which the image is being created. A flashy make-up would be appropriate for a party, and a natural one for an everyday outing. Here are some recommendations for creating a suitable make-up:

emphasis on the eyes. You will need black mascara, eyeliner, dark shadows in black or dark blue shades;
It is important to highlight the eyes with arrows;
do not use blush or lip gloss;
bright red lipstick for girls in glam rock style;
pin-up style, makeup as in the photo of Bettie Page;
All shades should be selected individually.

When creating a rock style look, it is worth considering everything down to the smallest detail - outfit, hairstyles, makeup. The rocker appearance will demonstrate the originality of its owner, her creative nature and desire for adventure.

Those who want to experiment with their image have a wonderful opportunity - try putting together a set in the currently popular rock chic style.

Rock chic: style attributes

One of the important distinctive features of the rock chic style is black color. And the more black clothes you wear, the more stylish the look. You can combine it with metal accessories and jewelry. The most effective combination is perhaps black and silver.

The next style attribute is leather, which is present in almost every rock chic look. It doesn’t matter what it will be - leather clothing, such as a vest, jacket, or something else - boots or just a belt - a piece made of this material will in any case emphasize the style and will look just right.

Spikes further emphasize the style. At the same time, not every girl who decides to try on rock chic is ready to wear clothes with spikes. Well, this is not necessary. You can create kits without any spikes.

Skulls instead of flowers decorate rock chic clothes. A bold decision for those who are ready to experiment.

Examples of rock chic style sets

Rock chic is so diverse that clothes in this style can be worn even for special occasions. For example, for such cases, a long A-line skirt or a pleated skirt, complemented by leather corset, decorated with rivets. Complete the look with a pair of heels and a matching handbag, also decorated with studs if desired.

Another unexpected look is a lace dress worn with black leather biker jacket, complemented with heels. In such an outfit, a woman is unlikely to go unnoticed.

Skinny ripped jeans in combination with army boots, complemented by a shirt with a graphic pattern and a leather jacket.

The combination of tights and denim shorts is not only stylish, but also a practical solution to keep you warm in cool weather.

Shoes, bags, accessories

Shoes used in the rock chic style are quite diverse: from feminine stilettos and ballet flats to biker boots. You can also wear tall boots, colorful shoes or lace-up boots.
The bags are predominantly leather, and decorated with rivets and spikes, they will further emphasize their belonging to the rock chic style.
Accessories are usually leather belts, bracelets, necklaces with spikes, studs and other metal decorations. By the way, this does not exclude the presence of precious stones at all. Spikes and metal elements can easily coexist with diamonds. And don’t forget about leather gloves that complete the look.

Perhaps, once you try to add some zest to your look by adding elements of rock chic style, you will not want to stop, and this style will firmly become part of your wardrobe.
