Swing about in the noughties, why leave it in the 50’s? When it comes to having fun and going to a dance, a prom, a wedding, or an place where you know you need your dancing shoes, you should do it in style, and what better style than rockabilly clothing? It was originally back in the 1950’s when rockabilly was first introduced and today it is certainly all over the place in so many different styles, shapes and variations. Many of the dresses you see today have an element of rockabilly, but why have an element when you can have the full thing? Personally I am a huge fan of rockabilly clothing, it is feminine, girly, flirty and fun, and because of the many different styles shapes and variations I know I can find an appropriate dress for any occasion. No matter where I am going there is always a dress waiting for me, and because they have been a popular choice since the 50’s it goes without saying that they are timeless dresses and will be able to be worn again and again. Many of the traditional dresses come in rather simple prints, striking but simple, either bold in colour, checked or with polka dots, today you will find that the more modern rockabilly clothing comes in any print, you can often find that the prints are busy, and it’s only when you get close you will be able to make out the true print, for instance from a distance you might be thinking floral, when you get up close there’s a strong chance you might find skulls. They are very girly but today often they are made with a darker side to them, though, you will always find someone who can turn any print into a dress, so those old curtains, that bed linen, a sheet, anything at all and you can probably be wearing it tailor made to you in no time.

If you are looking for something different but sticking with rockabilly, then you should seek out everything that WKM Leisure Wear have available.

Not only do many people like the clothing and the style of the 50’s but they also appreciate the hair and


makeup, and the look as a whole is becoming increasingly more popular, being retro is hot at the moment, and there are so many different variations and collaborations of it, not only in specific shops but all over the high street. Why not stand out in fashion and be different, start off with something minima to be comfortable, before you know it you will want the full look and being retro will consume you.
