Which of these would be the best look for a rock band?
I'm forming a 50s themed band. We want something different to the jeans and T-shirts all the other bands wear at the moment. Here are the proposed costumes. Which one is best?
1. Rockers/Greasers (leather jackets, tight blue jeans, winklepickers)
2. Teddy Boys (drape jackets, bolo ties, creepers)
3. Jocks (baseball jackets, converse)
4. Singing cowboys (bright colored Western shirts with flowers, lots of rhinestones)
5. Southern farm boys (checked shirts, jeans, denim jackets, wifebeaters, overalls etc)
6. Retro 60s clothing (matching houndstooth jackets, tight black jeans, thin ties)
7. A combination of the above e.g. one cowboy, one jock, one greaser etc
8. Something else
number 6 would be so hot =)
but dont concentrate too much on one look for all members of the band. Tokio Hotel are a band and all the members have a different style of clothing and music taste. they make rock music, but the guitarist loves rap and hip hop and his style is influenced by the whole urban scene, and the lead singer is into fashion and punk, the drummer likes heavy metal, and the bassist likes keane and the oasis.

my point is that if u all are too uniformed, then it looks too forced. just express yourselves and i bet u can pull off your personal tastes.
have fun and
i wish u the best of luck <3
