Fashion For Emo Guys
July 13th, 2009
Though changes are natural phenomenon in the world of fashion yet there are some constants that will always remain. It should not be forgotten that emo fashion has evolved from an anti-fashion, anti-consumerist subculture.
Let us explore the different items of emo fashion beginning with shirt. Emo T-shirt should be tight fitting and be at least 10 years old, if not older. A funny/ironic slogan is must be present on the shirt. Vintage t-shirts are probably the most recognizable “emo” fashion item around, especially on eBay that perfectly fits the purpose of an emo-T shirt.
“Ringer” shirt that was quite popular in the late 70s has made a big come back in the past couple of years. Jerseys are often seen as the lose cousin of “Ringer”. They are generally sports-related. Stripped Polo shirt is considered to be a universal clothing item, because it can be worn to an emo concert, to church, or even out on a date. Another most amazing selection for the emo guys will be IZOD striped polo. Western shirts with fancy embroidery is sure to rule the scene. Emo guys also prefer western shirt with crisscross design. During winter season there are several options to continue the fashion with emo warm garments. A jacket with a removable liner and the hooded sweatshirt, or “hoodie” is ideal.
Emo guys never go for shorts even in the hottest weather. They prefer pants of Ben Davis and Dickies made famous by the band Emo Summer. Head accessories are also an important part of emo fashion. You can find numerous classic trucker mesh cap with insane slogans, beer logos, or even plain old blank ones or you can also go for a nice warm beanie. Not to be missed out another important part of your accessory and that is your feet. The Converse Chuck Taylor shoes are classic alternate-wear that continued for many generations and genres. But due to some management problem the company went bankrupt. If you are sick of 
having the same shoes then hook up with a pair of 70s/80s athletic shoes like the Nike, Reebok, Saucony, New Balance and Adidas. You can find numerous knockoffs that are usually all man made, and there is no involvement of animal products.
A good collection of emo fashion is non-gender specific. Males and females can be found wearing any of the clothing. There are some fashion trends that are specifically emo girl or emo boy related but emo guys like to experiments with their self that is different from normal.
Then, additional tones and highlights are added in shades like red, purple, and even blonde. As for the cut itself, emo hair is generally worn long for males and short for females. Bangs that hang in front of the eye are common, and the ends of the hair are usually razored to create an edgy texture. Speaking of texture, emo hair is usually worn sleek and straight.
However, more and more emo styles are using waxes and gels to create asymmetrical, messy looks with added height. Ultimately, an emo hairstyle must reflect the wearer’s personality and individualism. Thus, the rules defining these styles are quite flexible. Choices made regarding emo looks are highly personal and can be adapted to suit individual preferences.
