1
Immerse yourself in the music and culture. Even if you wear the right clothes you can't be electroclash unless you are into the electroclash music and attitude in addition to the fashion. Electroclash is a lifestyle.

Start by studying the electroclash style. Decide what you like and what fits your personality (see resources below). You can style yourself rocker, punk, glam, emo, pop, disco, '80s or a combination of any or all.

Begin with your makeup. It needs to be heavy and based on the '80s rocker style. Your eye makeup should be especially thick and colorful with eyeliner, mascara and lots of eye shadow. Your lips need to be accentuated as well.

Style your hair either very straight or feathered a la Farrah Faucett. Electroclash hairstyles also include the ultra-cute pony tail streaked with bright colors.

Dress sexy. The electroclash chick is a little bit disco, a little bit rock-n-roll, and all '80s. You can wear everything from spandex, neon colors and pixie boots to studded metal belts, skull decorated t-shirts, fishnets and leg warmers. The important thing is to have your own avant garde, shiny, superficial style.
