Glam rock style

Glam rock style combines elements of two fashion trends at once, which allows it to be both brutal and seductive at the same time. It is based on experimentation in combinations that immediately catches the eye and stands out in the crowd.

The emergence of the style of "glamorous rock" in clothing is directly related to the increased popularity of rock music in the seventies of the XX century. The stage outfits of musicians and stars shocked, but inspired others to borrow many elements - ripped jeans, leather jackets, collars with chains and rhinestones.

Their exaggerated theatricality intertwined with everyday practicality and romanticism, rooted in one of the most popular directions for more than forty years. The proliferation of this aesthetic is directly related to names such as Elton John and David Bowie.

The style combines the non-triviality of rock and tenderness with the catchy glamor. This is reflected in everything, from the choice of fabrics to styles and decorative elements.

The necessary material for the look is leather, both matte and patent. Combine it with knitwear, lace, chiffon, silk.

Sequins, rhinestones and crystals are optional, but welcome. They are necessary for greater contrast with rough leather, adorned with metal decorations - spikes, buckles, rivets, chains. The styles of the products include patch pockets, noticeable seams, lacing, drapery, oblique zippers.

The color scheme of this fashionable trend is not motley and not so rich.Monochrome shades are fundamental - black, gray, white. However, they are diluted with red, fuchsia, shiny metallic, neon, and electric to make them more flashy. An integral part is animalistic, primarily leopard prints.

Leather goods are basic items for a woman who has chosen glam rock as her style. Biker biker jackets with aggressive studs or more discreet regular leather jackets reflect rock best. This includes trousers and skirts, as well as dresses. In addition to leather, denim of dark colors with decor in the form of torn parts and pins is relevant. All that is needed is a top or T-shirt with bold prints to complete a classic glam rock outfit.

In recent years, the direction of glamorous rock has expanded the boundaries, including more romantic and sometimes even gentle elements. Thus, fluffy tulle tutus, mini-skirts, corsets and even formal trouser suits have become relevant. Plus, formal shirts and blouses, especially those with bows and ruffles, can be a great addition to coarse trousers or jeans.

Shoes should be no less daring than the main bow, the more the completeness of the image depends on it. Lace-up treads are glam rock classics, but not all girls can afford such a high bootleg. High and medium boots, as well as cowboy boots will be an organic addition to the outfit. High, especially on shoes, and low heels are acceptable, and metal decorations should be present in the decor.

Particular attention should be paid to accessories, since in the image for every day it is they that largely determine the belonging to glam rock. Bags need rivets and spikes, metal chains. Large jewelry and sunglasses, bracelets, chains, belts are relevant. In their design, it is desirable to use images of skulls, snakes, crosses, dragons.

Glam rock finds its reflection not only in carefully selected clothes and accessories, but also in the appearance. Hair and makeup play no less role than clothes.

This style accepts a large amount of hair, so it is important to create high puffs and voluminous hairstyles, for example, careless buns, high tails. Colored overhead strands and bandanas can be used as accessories.

An obligatory element is predominantly black eyeliner to make the look more expressive. Smokey ice will complement the look, especially in combination with a light complexion and prominent cheekbones. In an evening make-up, bright colors and active shading may be present.
