Rock 'n' Roll Style / Rocker Chic

[Sonnytsunami]

Tsunami, to each his own, I guess - a suit to me is a submissive uniform wron by the grey people. A rock musician wearing it is perverting the meaning of rock music.

i can think of many cool Mod looks involving a kitsch suit . i still think it rocksB) but we cant all think alike, right? the world would be such a boring place if that were the case, dahhhhhhhling (the last darling thing to be said in a very queer tone of voice ).

Sonny, great Pete Doherty story!

oh tangerine, glad you like my story. it was not that interesting but i really had to speak my mind as i think Pete is so very much overrated... esp. after seeing his ugly looks, pathetic clothing and his lack of musical skills...

i could tell many other rock stories but i dont want to sound like an old granny telling her grandsons about them so i will just mention them if it is necessary and on topic!

Grey people? i think that grey ppl dont necessarily have to dress in suits... there are many grey ppl in the world... even onstage! i mean, sometimes the clothes do not make the man... it is brains and wittiness which makes a person (a boy or a girl) bright in my eyes.... not the fact they wear suits or not. and i dont see many david bowie lookalikes in the streets (unfortunately) so in that sense i bet we are all rather grey ourselves...

time for me to watch some telly now... that is what i get for being grey myself, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!

oh
myyyy
gaawwdDD!!!

faust.
you made my day. That is the very most worse image in the world of work.
If I ate a pile of maggots festering in a rotting dead cat, vomited it up, boiled it down to resin, smoked it, and then repeated that action for 20 years... I wouls still, I'm sure have more, self worth then if I spotted myself in that photo. Oh no. My my.
so sad.
haha.
anyways.
yeah but a dude in a hot suit is still killer. If it's done right. you know.
I love the contrast form the suits to the ann Dem photos. it gives me a weird feeling.

fun thread, and thanks t fairy for all the ann Dem photos.
TANG would you wear Ann dem??? just curious. But yeah your right I shouldnt say I cant see myself wearing her. I think I'll change that to I could. I like the look.

isnt it funny the hottest girl (just loosly speaking) K Moss, ends up dating, a total loser like that. This world is strange in deed.

i'm subconsiously following a trend, but i wont let it go, not yet anyway
i have a leather jacket almost like the one Alex posted but mine is from tyhe oldest 'traditional' bikers store in London.. its a Lewis Leather Original that i've been wearing only too often during the last two seasons.. it just matches with everything, hope i can wear the jacker for at least one more season before i see old school biker jackets all over the place

love the 'official' return of the rock'n'roll/swing/cool cats scene.. total fun, a scream and so NON pretentious

helena, thanks for the merge, Hanne thanks for bringing this up, twillight thanks for the side note

How do you wear a biker jacket without your look becoming too total (if you know what I mean).... my style is a fusion of rock - punk elements and although I bought at least 3 biker jackets from Ebay and tried too many times to get one from Camden Market (my efforts goes back to 10 years ago), whenever I put one on, I look like I belong to Hell's Angels.... It makes me look too hard-core (which I dislike)... I haven't tried it with a dress yet (my last hope) but I would really like to be able to wear a biker jacket with my jeans and not look like an angry teenager....

I'm furious with this because I can wear a tea-dress and make it look rock n rollish and can't wear a biker jacket without looking like a try-hard wannabe....

twilight fairy please credit your pics

But how do you credit them if I've haved them saved on my computer for months?..

Anyhow I think most pictures are from style.com, rafsimons.com, thecobrasnake.com ..

I dont know. Ask softgrey. She knows everything. But a pic would help.
I think it should be possible.
Or it cold just be the wrong jackets. Every jacket has it's own cut. Maybe a slightly differnt cut would help....?
what do you think?

Most vintage jackets have similar a cut... there is something wrong with the way the fall on the shoulders... Thanks for your post... Softgrey does seem to know everything doesn't she? I hope she's kind enough to give me some advise....although I'm not sure that this is the right thread for it... maybe I should post into the one asking advise on how to wear different items... I just wanted to get advise from the real rock n roll guys though, rather from just anyone.... .

OK. I will stop it here

That Undercover collection is fabulous!! Thanks for the pics =)

Am I the only one trying to keep this thread alive?

no, I am loving it, could dress like that (ahem, some of that) every day.
But I was trying to post some pics from the October (?) issue of ZInk, and the mag web-site doesn't allow me to. So I have to be content with checking the beautiful pictures you guys are posting...

 

[Sonnytsunami]

I bloody love this thread as well....

Funny thing about the rock and roll look is... it always looks better on me in my imagination than when i actually wear it, ha, ha.. it can get a bit frustrating really.

also i then see myself in the mirror and realise i look like one of those i find so ridiculous... plus i often ask myself whether i should keep on dressing like this being 32... but i just cant picture myself looking like a proper thirty something girl would do.... it would make me feel so, so, so old...

This is one of my favourite dresses ever by Jil Sander spring 2003


(style.com)

They had this dress on Yoox last time I looked (about 3 weeks ago). Maybe gone now, but it wasn't that expensive if memory serves.
