How To Buy Electroclash Clothing

Mention the fashion of the ‘90’s and electroclash clothing is what immediately comes to mind. Electroclash clothing is characterized by styles based on punk, new wave and electronic dance music popularized in the ‘80s. Electroclash clothing is punctuated by a fashion statement that includes leggings, oversized jewelry, daring colors, huge zippers and striking prints. Though electroclash clothing is now considered as retro, it can still define a certain trend especially in themed parties such as birthdays and reunions. Buying electroclash clothing can be tricky, and here are tips that you can make use of:

Browse on magazines that feature fashion trends from different genres, including electroclash fashion. Study the different features of the dresses, pants, sweaters, jackets as well as the common prints and designs of each piece. As you browse, take down notes on what features of this fashion trend you would like to have on. Consider too, your physical features and your build so you can decide what color and fit will suit you best.

You don’t have to strictly stick to electroclash trend. You can mix and match or accentuate the look with other styles. Just make sure the electroclash look does not get obscured. For instance, pair a bold printed top with a neutral black or white. Fashion is all about creativity and you can be as creative as you want with electroclash clothing.

If you are a size 6 or smaller, try to look for items at children’s stores. Children’s dresses are usually colorful which fit perfectly for electroclash style.

If you can’t find leggings, substitute slim and tight-fitting jeans. Black is the best color that can make your legs look slimmer and longer. To complete your look, top your leggings or jeans with a bold, solid colored short dress or longer blouse with a broad leather belt.

Invest on sweaters. Long sweaters that are a bit off shoulder look nice with leggings and tight jeans. However you should know how to coordinate your colors. Printed dresses and blouses go well with plain colored sweaters. Never match a printed blouse or dress with a printed sweater.

Go for glittery accessories. Beaded Necklaces, shimmery bangles and glittering blings will complete your electroclash outfit. If you see a belt with a shiny buckle, grab it as well as it will look gorgeous on a loose dress. But again, the rule here is that you should try to harmonize everything. If you already have a beaded necklace on, do away with brooches and pins. Electroclash fashion may be a bit over the edge, but you should not go beyond if you don’t feel comfortable with it.

Buckle up! Wrap a leather belt (5 to 6 inches wide) with a gleaming silver buckle around an extended shirt or blouse for a hip look.

Aside from necklaces and bangles, rings with large gemstones also form part of electroclash clothing. Hoop or pyramid earrings that extend almost to the shoulder can command admiring stares from anyone you meet.
Shoes should be a bit pointy. Flat shoes or low-heeled shoes look good with leggings, especially if you have long and skinny legs. Shoes in striking colors are eye catching, so you may opt for them as well.

To really complete your electroclash outfit, put on deep eye shadows with metallic colors and bright frosted lipstick. Style your hair with big curls on the sides.
