Emo fashion has also evolved with time. There can no particular definition of this as well, but there are certain characteristics that can define Emo fashion. What has been this fascination for Emo fashion? Is it the wackiness or the weird outlook that is found very appealing to many? Of course, this is also a matter of personal opinion. Emo boys and gals have always tried to be unique in their own special way. There are no special rules as far as Emo fashion goes. The ‘dress code’ of being Emo is all about being comfortable in what you are wearing. So, how would one distinguish a true Emo guy or gal?
Though most people would scoff at the Emo look, I personally do like the cheesy and don’t-care-attitude of this ‘culture’! Skinny jeans with hoodies look fab as a representation of the Emo group. Jeans must be tight to show that you are truly Emo but make sure you can carry it off as well. The typical emotional punk movement may not really be considered fashionable by many but then the term fashion means differently to different people. Emo girls have dyed hair with asymmetrical lines and sometimes one can find nerdy glasses perched on their nose as well. A black t-shirt worn with a hooded jacket also works well. Though jackets are not completely Emo, you can go in for a lightweight kind. Loads of layering for Emo guys and girls is also important. Guys can go in for zany T-shirts worn with studded belts and fingerless gloves. Accessories in Emo fashion are aplenty ranging from hemp necklaces or tote bags. Body piercing is also considered to be very Emo! A little strange to some, but patterned knee high socks are also part of this category. Fishnet stockings worn with short skirts can work well for girls. To sport some Emo style makeup, get yourself thick pencil eyeliner and draw a thick line in one swipe. Girls need to use some clear lip gloss on their lips to complete the look. Black is the color for the nails as well, and boys, this also includes you. I am sure by now you would be thinking the Emo look is definitely taking a bizarre turn. Boys can also go in for messenger style bags to go with their skinny leg jeans. Slogans on Tees are quite common in Emo fashion. Canvas shoes and old weather beaten shoes complete the Emo look!
Emo hairstyles are quite funky to sport as well. Take a look at the group Green Day and you would know what I am talking about. Although many frown upon Emo hairstyles, these are growing in their popularity today. Girls and guys do note some of these pointers for Emo hairstyles. Shaggy hairstyles form the base of Emo hairstyles. Sometimes shaggy or sometimes spiky, these would need you to work your way around with the help of some gel and of course a hairstylist. Try some bold effects and also add a dash of color. Emo haircuts have always been characterized with black hair with bursts of colors. The look of the Emo hairstyles is such that it makes an individual style statement. Of course, people in the 80s belonging to the Emo culture are quite different from the Emo groups that are seen today. Today, most Emo hairstyles have the use of highlights as well as lowlights. Fringes and bangs are also common amongst most girls. Razor cuts that give asymmetrical lines are most sought after by girls who wish to along this path.
Whether it’s the Emo fashion and hairstyles, or the Emo culture in itself, it has always been under the scanner and has received a lot of flak for the kind of lifestyle it probably popularized. The Emo group of people are also known to be emotional, introverts and sometimes are associated with depressive behavior; sometimes to the extent of suicide. This is probably why Emo fashion has attracted a lot of criticism as well. The Emo fashion today is definitely different from what it has been over the years, and despite the endless arguments, this culture has a loyal group of people. Although one has come up with many definitions and opinions about this lifestyle, its popularity rates quite high on the list of many!
