"The rockabilly. As far as guys go it is kind of an extension of a greaser but a little bit more artsy, a little more fun and extravagant and you are not just dealing with the leather jackets and the jeans sort of thing. You have also got collared shirts with even scarves tied around which will come into play in the womens' look as well so in regards to women probably the most interesting stylistic part of the rockabilly look we are talking about the pin up era here. We are talking about your Betty Pages and that whole thing which is where women finally started to be able to show themselves as women and their full figures, which is another trend that has really emerged, kind of had a resurgence as a recent because there are full figured girls out there that can look amazing and beautiful and stylish so that sort of look where we have got the high waisted skirt which is very key to the look, high waisted skirt or the high waisted short shorts, big heels, tucked in shirt with an open cleavage line here and then the scarf that we were doing earlier, short of the shell scarf with the knot and the two little pieces coming down like that around the neck, very updos, her hair, lots of make up of course, tattoos played a bid part especially in the resurgence now with that look."
