Women can be more creative what not means that men can't be creative. I truly guess that you can see a lot of creative pompadour on the streets.But still women can more vary with their hairstyles. First the most popular color for the hair of a rockabella is black but as a rockabella you can also wear crazy hair colors like red, blue or green. Their style is influenced by hairstyles from the 50's, 60's and the style of the pin up girls. The simplest thing for a girls is also making a pompadour with their bangs and tie their hair to a queue or simply stick them backwards. You could also only make the pompadour and let the hair open. Another variety is to wear the hair open only with straight bangs. The third variety is to wear the hair with big curls and here a women can vary a lot in how she stick the curls or if she only wears it open.

And at the end a women can use really much accessories for their hair. She could use bandanas, big flowers, hair clasps with leo, dotts or chequers, ribbons, skulls or dices. First you will need a lot of patience to get the style you want but in the end it will look awesome so be patient and you will look pretty good.

Rockabilly Clothes

You wonder what Rockabilly's wearing? It is much more simpler than what Rockabella's are wearing. Men only wear skinny jeans with a big belt buckle with Rockabilly symbols on it like aces, dice, cars, swallows, etc. The for a men consists of a shirt, t-shirt or muscle shirt with appropriate motives on it like oldschool tattoos, swallows, etc. And least but not least don't forget the leather jacket. But most important for a rockabilly men is his hair by the way he has to have this pompadour like Elvis.

Shoes for rockabilly men are also not that special. They wear modest shoes with a little thicker sole without special ornaments. Also men can wear two color bowling shoes. The only colorful way for shoes are the stuff shoes with different colorful prints of e.g. skulls, dice or something like that.

As we can now see women have more freedom in her choice of clothes ;-)

Clothes for the perfect Rockabella

Typical clothes for a Rockabella are dresses and skirts which are inspired of the 50's. Important is to wear a Petticoat so that the skirt or dress is flared and the whole outfit should be form-fitting. 
On every Rockabella outfit you find typical details like polka dots, cherries, etc. Other typical characteristics of a Rockabella dress is that the skirts also going under the chest and the Rockabella then wears a checkered or dotted blouse.  
If a Rockabella wears pants then mostly these pants are going over the hips what is really form-fitting and the top is mostly a simple shirt with a typical Rockabilly motive. And don't forget the shirt should be putted into the pants.

Rockabellas have a wide range of accessories where they can choose from. Starting with belt buckles, flowers for the hair, colorful earrings and ending with necklaces and many more stuff. Here too the typical Rockabilly motives like cherries, birds, dots, etc. Also a typical accessories for a Rockabella is a Bandana which you tie into your hair. You get this in all imaginable colors and with different motives.

This is not really difficult the most important things a Rockabella has to think about it is the shoes must be colorful, with typical motives like cherries, polka dots, ribbons, checkered, dies, etc. and they should be with high heels. As a Rockabella you can wear everything from Pumps to boots with shoe straps or ribbons. Mostly you have shoelace, buckles or other closures on the shoes. Pumps fits best to typical 50's clothing's.

Rockabilly around the world!

Today I wanna show you different styles of Rockabilly around the world and I wanna give you examples of Rockabilly music of different countries. It is interesting to see Rockabilly's from all over the world because everybody is different and unique.

Asia

This couple looks really sweet and kind of normal rockabilly. As you will now see Asians style themselves a little bit more extremely than the Americans. You can also see how the Japanese people are dressed up for a rockabilly show.

Europe

Europeans are similar to Americans. And in this spot I wanna show you a famous rockabilly band from Germany. They are called the Baseballs and they cover modern songs from today and switch them into a Rockabilly style song.

I was lucky enough to see these guys live on stage at Nova Rock. Nova Rock is the biggest rock concert in Austria and this guys were able to get the baddest metal guys singing Angel from Robbie Williams with them.

USA

USA is the birthplace of rockabilly and here you can find really this spirit and the feeling of rockabilly. One of the most famous rockabilly interpret was Elvis Presley the King of Rock 'n' Roll.

Australia

In the Australia I've read is the situation a little bit difficult because no one things that Australians have a good rockabilly scene but that isn't true. As I read in this blog they had about 1500 visitors at a rockabilly show and I also heard one important song from the rockabilly time is from Australia the song is called Shake Baby Shake from Johnny O'Keefe. So now you all know also in Australia you can find rockabilly.

Africa

Now I come to my last section of my world tour. And I really have to say I can't imagine that Africa has a rockabilly scene. Also they have a rockabilly scene. I read in a blog also from an interesting rockabilly band from South Africa and I don't want that you miss them. So have a look for them on the last YouTube video for today.

All in all we can say rockabilly lives around the world. Even if the styles differs a little bit but the feeling is in every country the same. So stay rockabilly and enjoy your live :-)
