How to Look Emo
This article courtsey of Little Black Cherry - perfect place to buy Punk Emo stylish Hoodies & T shirts, fingerless gloves, leg warmers, funky wristbands and more!!
So you want to look emo? You have an interest in the music, the fashion, or the lifestyle? But you have no idea what 'emo' is? That doesn't matter! Here is how to attain that perfectly emo appearance, and maybe make it a little unique for once.
- Clothes make a huge statement.
- Black/Navy skinny jeans or opt for boot cuts.
- Dresses and skirts can be worn by girls if properly paired with converse and leg warmers.
- A dark coloured zip-hoodie is a classic must have.
- Vintage-looking printed tees with random things like robots, dinosaurs, or any random icon that makes people think 'What in the world could that be about?
- Originality, or at least the illusion of originality, is the key.
- Converses:
Shoes can be Converse, Vans, or any random shoe that is either plaid or just looks emo. The best option, although very common within every group nowadays, are Converse low tops or high tops, in black. Remember, if you buy converses, make sure they say made in USA on them, or else they were probably made in a sweatshop (All you emo's probably don't care, but stay true to your punk roots). You can get sweatshop-free converse look alikes online.Band Tees are a must have. It doesn't matter where you bought it from. Just scope out 'emo' bands, like Dashboard Confessional, Fio Twakey, Lungfish the Promise Ring, Braid, Cap'n Jazz, Thursday, Fall Out Boy, Hot Water Music, Atreyu, Panic! At The Disco, Good Charlotte, Linkin Park, Green Day, Cute Is What We Aim For, AFI. Be aware that not all bands listed are considered "emo" by everyone. If you're more into punk or 'emotive hardcore' you can also try listening to bands that no longer make records (i.e. Texas is the Reason).
If you are shopping for hoodies, one really in emo thing seems to be "Invader Zim" merchandise. Try to get a dark coloured Invader Zim hoody. These can be found 9/10 times at Hot Topic.
