Rocking the Glam Cause Glam Rocks

When people think of Glam Rock, many think of David Bowie and other 80’s heavy metal bands that wore theatrical, boldly androgynous and to over the top crazy outfits. Today’s Glam Rock comeback will be much more subdued with subtle hints to set refreshingly new fashion trends. Expect to see lots of decorated leather jackets and pants, super skinny jeans and ultra tight pants. Keep an eye out for lots of animal prints, neon colors, glitter, sequins, band shirts, doc Martins and other types of combat style boots.

By no means does the glam rock revival give you an excuse to start pulling out all those old 80’s clothes. Bring hints of glam rock to you style and mix it into your every day wardrobe, but remember to keep it subtle and understated. Try pairing a bright patterned t-shirt under a blazer, or purchasing some bold accessories to bring your style alive.

A more modern day take on Glam Rock is going to be changing the wardrobe of many celebrities and up and coming bands. With the recent American Idol season, a certain front runner Adam Lambert stole America’s hearts and brought a daring glam rock infused wardrobe back into the spotlight. His uniqueness in the competition took him all the way to the number two spot, but his inventive and courageous style has helped to jump start the Glam Rock revolution in the fashion industry in the eyes of designers and trendsetters. We can also see the comeback in the styles of young musicians. Miley Cyrus of Hannah Montana has recently adopted a rocker chic vibe to her wardrobe. She pairs mismatched bright colors and patterns, while still keeping her wardrobe edgy but still commercial.

Fashionistas keep a look out for new glam rock fashions hitting the style scene. You’ll see its impact on the fashion industry in upcoming seasons and you’ll see more bold and daring fashions being taken on by everyday people. Glam Rock is making a comeback!
