So after all the posts and blogs that have been made about greasers, one can concluded that there is no specific way to become a greaser. Since being a greaser can be a way of dress or a way of life (depending on the person), there simply can’t be a right or wrong to becoming a greaser.
The few suggestions I could give on becoming a greaser is to.
- READ or WATCH movies. What better way to see a greaser in action then seeing a movie about them.
- Talk to one. The 50’s might seem so long ago but the greasers at that time might actually still be alive. They just might be your grandparent, relative, or a friend’s grandparent/ relative. It never hurts to ask around.
- Or keep reading blogs about them. There are plenty of blogs on how to dress like a greaser. Being a greaser isn’t something that would be found in a science book or anything so looking around on the internet would really help a lot.
I found short video on YouTube that basically gives the best help there is to becoming a greaser. The video is very interesting because it touches points that I’ve previously mentioned in blogs before and it also touches points that have been mentioned on other blogs. Here is the video below.
Actually there are lots of other videos also about becoming a greaser on YouTube. Very interesting to watch if you have extra time on your hands, the videos might actually be more helpful or equivalent to reading book or watching movies about greasers.
Next steps are to update your wardrobe.
- Bright colors weren’t really apart of greasers wardrobe in the 50’s. More blacks, whites, grays. Very basic solid colors. Now It seems to be that guys can wear colors; more dark colors, plaids, etc. If you are a female than you have more options as far as colors. Red lipstick is popular. But keep in mind the goal is to still look fashionable.
- Hair is essential for both males and females. Slick back hair for guys and big hair for girls.
I’ve found picture on Pinterest of an outfit that would fit into a greaser girl description and still be very fashionable. Here below is the picture of the outfit.
As one could see the color options for females is a lot more different for guys. Red is very popular. And the clothes are still form-fitting just how they were in the 50’s.
With all the tips and steps on becoming a greaser, always remember to be yourself. The fun part about clothes is self-expression.
