How Does
Casual Style
-
An emo's sense of style is typically casual with band T-shirts and tight jeans making up the overall persona and look, so shopping at particular boutiques such as Hot Topic and Soho's is a great place to start.
For guys, choose dark colored pants or jeans that are tight fitting with a straight leg. A T-shirt of a favorite punk or emo band is a good choice to round off an emo outfit. Converse high tops can be purchased at Hot Topic and worn with straight legged jeans. Anything black or with bright neon colors is a good choice for an emo look or dress.
For girls, any type of jean that is straight legged and form fitting fits into emo standards; the jeans don't have to be black. Flats or converse high tops are the shoe of choice. Shirts in band designs or animals and rainbows are an emo favorite. Emo girls like to wear headbands and pearl-like jewelry to accessorize their outfits. Tights with stripes and designs, paired up with mini skirts are also a popular emo style.
Create an Outfit

For a guy, put an outfit together such as a pair of black jeans with a red band T-shirt and a pair of black-and-white converse tennis shoes. A zip up jacket in a funky design is also a popular emo favorite for both girls and guys.
For a girl, a long dress with a nonconforming skirt is a popular choice, matched up with some colorful tights and a pair of flats. Another emo look is a pair of tights under a plaid mini skirt with a band T-shirt and a headband.
