The Basics of Electro Style

I love the colours and energy of the Electro scene and as you will probably know I also love the music. So I'm just going to go through some of the basics of what I think looks electro.

Clothes
I think this changes a lot and being a Boosh fan I mainly look at Noel fielding for the clothes even though I am female and he is not. I think this style takes it's roots from some of the more light hearted heavy metal from the 70s. Think glitter, cowboy boots and big hair.

Chelsea boots are good if you dont want to be bouncing around in heels all night. Check these out from office.:

Also hi-tops in bright colours are pretty good:


When it comes to clothes think bright and think a bit 80's - I love this:


Pacman is awesomeness. I think I should go and find a dress like this for myself...
http://www.vintagedoctor.com some awesome shizzle on there.

Bright t-shirts are my favourite preferably with a cassette or something on them. Primark is good for cheap t-shirts. As is H&M, albeit a bit emo in places.

This is a bit awesome.
And this from http://www.cyberdog.co.uk

Bright clashing layers work well. Think Neon and Ultra from the Mighty Boosh.


These girls are Robots in Disguise. See my previous post for their myspace details. Wonderful, wonderful band.

Skinny jeans in bright colours are also good.


Try to steer clear of being too emo when you do this look.

Hotness. Yes. Too much black. Good hair though. Pretty girl. Don't mope and cut yourself in emo fashion.

Makeup

This is the bit I love.
Bright colours, MAC and Barry M are my favourites.


Here is my eye on a night out. The other eye had the same colours in different places in the design.



I'll leave it at that for now but I will update with post with pictures of hair and some more makeup.

Think 'grids', bright scattered neon triangles with grey drop shadows. Utra condensed font double spaced lettering.
