Greaser Girls Fashion

2012/01/13

Greaser Girls Fashion

Greaser girls fashion is inspired by fun, fearless women of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s who weren’t afraid to get down and dirty in the garage with the guys. Greaser girls were often seen working in the shop on a Mustang engine, or waving the checkered flag at the start and finish of a drag race. Greaser girls fashion incorporates classic mechanic jumpsuits, high-cut shorts, tied up button-down shirts, work boots, and tennis shoes to create outfits that are functional for working hard, but also cute and sexy to stay true to the pin up girl and rockabilly style of the eras.

Greaser girls fashion is still worn today by women who love incorporating the style into their everyday rockabilly, pin up, or vintage look. Whether it’s a pair of Dickie’s overalls, a checkered and knotted top, or a sexy hair band designed to keep your curls and bangs out of your face, greaser girls fashion incorporates all of these pieces into the look.Fortunately, you don’t have to rummage through thrift or vintage stores to find greaser girls fashion. There are plenty of shops across the Internet that cater to these styles including Grease, Gas, and Glory, Tarantula Clothing, Retro Kitten Apparel, Damaged Glamour Boutique, Hell Bunny, Tokyo Motor Grrrl, Get Go Retro, and Tres Noir Rockabilly Sunglasses. Each of these boutiques offers clothing, shoes, and accessories that combine perfectly to create a sexy, fun, and functional greaser girls fashion look.all shops and brands

Greaser girls fashion isn’t for the faint of heart, either. Many styles were originally designed for women who truly loved working on cars in the auto shop, so it’s more for function as opposed to style. However, many women who loved working on cars also loved being fashionable, so over time, many greaser girls fashion styles have evolved into essential wardrobe pieces that are fun and functional without compromising safety or style.

For true greaser girls fashion, wear your favorite pair of jeans or Dickie’s and pair it with a checkered button-down shirt tied at the belly button. Wrap your hair up in a bandana in your favorite print to protect your face, and you’ll be good to go for a day at the mechanic shop without compromising style.

A true rockabella wears clothing that flatters her body and natural assets rather than hiding it in frumpy clothes that don’t show off her figure. Whether a rockabella is a size 4 or a size 24, she is confident with her body and look and knows how to rock it with sass, attitude and incredibly sexy fashion. A rockabella rocks some brick red lipstick, layers on the black cat eye liner, curls and teases her hair, and finishes it all off with a kiss in the mirror and some strappy patent leather stilettos. She never leaves the house without her confidence, curves and attitude.
