While other men are busy choosing jeans, shirts and linen trousers, here you are, wearing all-black outfits, leather boots and 925 silver skull rings—and you are not alone.
In fact, a lot of men prefer the rocker style more than the regular ones because it makes them look strong, edgy and fashionable at the same time.
Also known as the “grunge” aesthetic, rocker fashion dates back to the seventies and continues to stand the test of time because of its unique look. Now if you’re still trying to perfect your rocker look, here are five style tips that you can follow:
Invest in the core rocker-style pieces
If you’re still building your rocker wardrobe, you need to invest in four core pieces that would be the foundation of every rocker outfit—band T-shirt, ripped jeans, a leather jacket and black leather boots.
When you have these pieces in your wardrobe, you can easily style your outfits and know they’ll look good every time.
Build on your accessories
Accessories can take any regular outfit to real rockstar status. If you notice, rockstars really go heavy with their accessories and you should do the same.
Silver jewellery is a must, especially huge rings, thick necklaces and chunky bracelets. Patches and badges are also style staples in rockstar fashion and so are spikes and studs in clothes.
The trick here is to slowly build your collection, so that it’s easier to mix and match your accessories depending on the look that you want to achieve.
Think about the occasion
The great thing about rocker fashion is that you can take it from casual to formal depending on where you’re going. For instance, if you’re just out on a regular day, you can go with a simple band t-shirt, a pair of skinny jeans, some Chuck Taylors and minimal accessories, and you’re good to go.
But if you’re going to a night out or party, you can elevate that look by opting for leather pants, adding a leather jacket and replacing sneakers with a pair of boots.
Don’t be afraid to experiment
There are no hard and fast rules to rocking the perfect rocker style. In fact, you can always experiment with different looks and take note of those ensembles that work best for you.
Don’t be afraid to try layering your outfits, adding pops of colour here and there, and working with different textures. Rocker fashion is all about expressing yourself through your style and not caring what other people say.
As long as you’re confident in what you wear, you’ll surely radiate the same energy to other people.
At the end of the day, you can always embrace rocker fashion, whether you’re young or old.
In fact, you can mix this with traditional styling for those days when you have to show up at work or for formal events. Check out our collection of skull rings and other accessories to start building your own stash.
