shoegaze

I know that shoegaze isn't about the fashion but I was wondering how you shoegazers out there dress. Do you dress to look like a shoegaze band? Also if you were around during the shoegaze era, how did you dress? I know it's a stupid question but I'm curious.

Well, I don't know if there is a fashion to go with most shoegazers but the norm seems to be a t-shirt, jeans, and low-top shoes. This is my personal observation.

Personally, back then was a pair of Doc Martens, jeans, and a t-shirt, plus long hair and some sort of necklace.

Now, It's back to low-tops, jeans and a t-shirt. Still thinking about the necklace...

I hope this helps you.

yeah... good observations...
back in the day it was kinda of a post punk look, which I still sport... dirty torn up jeans, black or white t shirt, worn in Docs... and in the winter the leather jacket with buttons all over it...
now it's more of the indie look without the emo haircuts;-p

When I look at photos of old shoegazer bands the guys seem to sport floppy mops for hair. Not the most stylish haircut I'd say.

Then again, it could just be a coincidence

Does anybody here like blazers or overcoats?

by **cezukuu** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 9:50 pm

blazers?

...when it's cooler out, sure. Or when I have a hot date. :roll:

Not that those ever happen, haha

If I let my hair grow...I start to look like a cross between Twinkie from Buck Rogers and Toad from the mushroom kingdom.

Or Pete Kember.
