How to Buy Electroclash Clothing

Electroclash clothing describes fashions popular in the 80's. It is a retro style with graphic prints, bold colors, leggings, zippers and large jewelry. Electroclash is a style of its own, but it is not just reserved for a night out clubbing. You will see this style integrated from the casual everyday wear all the way to the runway. Here are some tips for buying electroclash clothing.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Shop for bold colors that have a retro, block style to them. These are best found in dresses or baby doll tops or sweaters.

2. Pair short dresses and longer tops with leggings in a solid color. Skinny jeans also work well with the baby doll or belted blouses.

3. Wear sweaters as the weather gets cooler to add some warmth to an outfit. Sweaters that hang off the shoulder just a tad bit are great with skinny jeans or leggings too.

4. Grab that unique piece with glitter or an iridescent sheen to it when you see it. You can always pair it up with something to make a great electroclash ensemble.

5. Cinch-wrap a long shirt or sweater with a wide, leather belt. The bigger the buckle the better!

6. Accessorize with big bangled bracelets, large rings in gemstones and big hoop earrings. These extra splashes of color and glitter can add that extra touch of glamour to your wardrobe.

7. Style your make-up and hair to reflect that same genre of clothing. Metallic eye shadows and bright pearl colors can be toned down with matte lipsticks. Hair can be styled big or just add a little depth with some curls.
