Fashion: Greaser Girlies

Okay, so this is my first fashion post and so, I decided to do a style I am really familiar with. The 1960's Greaser style! Except since this is a girl's blog for teenage girls, this is the greaser girl style.

So, you are wondering what exactly is a greaser? Well if you have read, or seen, The Outsiders then you will know exactly what a greaser is, but if you haven't... I have it described right here! Greasers are named so because they wear grease in their hair. No, not car grease but hair grease. We don't usually wear hair grease anymore but I believe it used to be called pomade or something of that sort, now we can just use hair gel. They also lived on the poor side of town, they didn't have big fancy houses or drive fancy cars like Mustangs. They usually wore jeans and T-shirts with a jacket and called it good, but you don't have to be poor to be a greaser.

Tops: Solid colored shirts and tank tops would work very well, it can be any length though, it can even be a halter top (no sleeves but may have a string that ties around your neck, these are mainly called Tube Tops). For winter I would recommend a normal T-Shirt that has short, elbow length, or long sleeves. If it is summer, then Halter Tops/Tube Tops, Tank Tops, and Short Sleeved T-Shirts work the best.

Bottoms: Usually Denim is the most preferred because it gives you that tough look, you can wear denim mini skirts, long pants (Preferably not Skinny Jeans), or Short-Shorts. Again, be smart depending on the season, if it is cold you would mainly wear pants or you could wear a skirt, only if you had leggings under it. If it is warm then probably a skirt or shorts because pants would get way too hot, but if you like pants then go ahead and wear 'em!

Shoes: High Tops, Sneakers, and Cowboy Boots work very well. You shouldn't wear Slip-ons or Flip-Flops because that just isn't the style, they mostly wear Converse or Sneakers (Not Skater shoes though!) because their simple and durable for everything since Cowboy boots are hard to run in (I've tried it before, I've ran to and from gym class wearing cowboy boots and they are a bugger to run in up and downhill!).

Jackets: Denim and Leather work extremely well, just don't wear Sweaters or Hoodies. Denim jackets give it that cowboy look, if you're into the more Western look while Leather gives you the tough, Leader look. Both work great, if you don't know which one to choose then you can switch off between the two, but you don't even need a jacket if you live in a hot climate or if you just don't feel like wearing one!

Also, Madras are not recommended for the Greaser look! In The Outsiders Socs (Short for Socials- aka the Rich Kids) are described as wearing Madras so steer clear of them!
