So, rockabilly style originated in the 1940s and 1950s and grew into a combination of rock 'n' roll and "hillbilly" country music. To many people it means wearing elegant 1950s dresses when their going to shows, but indeed there are others that like to treat it as an their entire lifestyle, they like to wear Rockabilly clothing and sporting rockabilly, hairstyles, tattoos and accessories almost every day.

We can sum up Rockabilly clothing as being elegant and glamorous. When discussing women's rockabilly clothing the aims are to accentuate the women's natural curves and combining gorgeous clothes with amazing hair and makeup. When going out, women like to rely on a combination of rockabilly dresses and rockabilly shoes they also like to include some ideal accessories to complete the rockabilly look.

In the 1950s many people were obsessed with the natural figure. Most men and women celebrated the more curvy figure and this meant that the many styles of rockabilly dresses are created to accentuate the curves of the wearer. One thing that's found in excess in most rockabilly dresses is glamour and elegance, especially those with polka dots, leopard print, and other motif designs.

Fortunately, women do not have to wear the almost dangerously high stiletto heels associated with the 1950s, although some choose to do so. Rockabilly shoes can include glamorous heels as well as the more comfortable and convenient Mary Jane style flats, Converse trainers, and other styles of shoe.

Everything about the 1950s smacked of glamour and rockabilly clothing is no different in this respect. Dresses and other clothes are extremely glamorous while hair and makeup need to be both glamorous and pristine. Tattoos are also extremely popular with the rockabilly that takes the whole genre seriously. On men and increasingly on women this means full sleeve tattoos while on women it means swallows, stars, and cherries for the perfect look.
