But he is the All Father of Glam Rock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-814614 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 22:39:39 +0000 Ariadne 814614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely have a rocker streak. Docs, moto jackets, studded items, industrial jewelry, military jackets, skulls--I have elements of all those things in my wardrobe.</p> <p>I like it toned down and a little bit subtle for myself, though. Otherwise I feel like I'm in costume; I don't go to rocker PLACES, so that's probably why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-814573 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 22:11:00 +0000 RoseandJoan 814573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Mo</p> <p>I like twenty8twelve<br /> <a href="http://www.twenty8twelve.com/en/shop/tops-aw12" rel="nofollow">http://www.twenty8twelve.com/en/shop/tops-aw12</a><br /> and edun<br /> <a href="http://eu.edun.com/women/tops-and-sweaters" rel="nofollow">http://eu.edun.com/women/tops-and-sweaters</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-814552 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:58:35 +0000 Mo 814552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I have all you rockers here in one spot, can you give me a lead on some graphic tees to add to my refined rocker capsule this year? I don't have my old concert tees anymore, and I'm maybe not looking to be so literal as that. More like the vibe of some of these I found on Yoox <a href="http://www.yoox.com/us/women/shoponline/miss%20sixty_d#/d=1139&#038;Mc=38,37&#038;dept=women&#038;gender=D&#038;page=1&#038;season=E&#038;sort=3" rel="nofollow">http://www.yoox.com/us/women/s.....038;sort=3</a><br /> I think I spied a few at Karmaloop some time back, too. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-814522 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:38:06 +0000 RoseandJoan 814522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>\m/ </p> <p>I drink whisky straight, have tattoos and love rock. I'm happiest in a grotty pub with a great jukebox and would give up my wardrobe willingly if I had to choose between my LP's and my fashion fix, can I come on over to the rocker side? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-814511 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:30:33 +0000 Caro in Oz 814511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Docs &amp; moto - I can't wait for winter.<br /> Do the Beatles = classic rock? Are Annie Lennox &amp; David Bowie on the artistic/eclectic end of the spectrum? Sign me up to both of these sub-divisions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-814459 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:49:40 +0000 rachylou 814459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mm. It's true, Rocker and UWP are very close. </p> <p>When I talk about Rocker, I'm thinking Deborah Harry not White Snake. And I'm thinking somehow Rocker style is a bit more delicate and a lot more impractical: Silk blouses and stilettos. There may be a bedraggled air but not a worn-in one.</p> <p>p.s. Urban Pacific Rocker does sound kinda Nirvana to me. Pacific Urban Rocker would maybe encompass more to me. Haha. I'm talking word order! I'm sure everyone is like *whatever*... haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-814391 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:00:11 +0000 Suz 814391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wearing my Docs today. And I am always channelling Annie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-814371 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:47:56 +0000 Angie 814371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Cathy. I've been wearing moto jackets and Docs since the '80s - seldom been without. Even when they weren't on trend. I humbly accept my honorary title. </p> <p>*big guitar slide* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-814367 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:44:29 +0000 cciele 814367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, Simon and Chris rock out for sure. And you wear Docs too You can be an honorary rocker! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-814254 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:23:11 +0000 Angie 814254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am inspired my Simon Le Bon and Chris Cornell, which does not count - but I'm commenting anyway </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-814244 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:15:35 +0000 cciele 814244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>caro -- you can fit anywhere I think!</p> <p>Mochi -- I like the Romantic Rocker descriptor for you :)</p> <p>rae -- Yes, for sure. And you rock out IRL too!</p> <p>rachylou -- can't wait to see them!</p> <p>Una -- hm, do you mean key difference between UWP and rocker? I think UWPs can be rocker, but maybe not so much the other way around? I see lots of rock influences in that outfit -- leather, black, sunglasses. Oh, and guitar But what makes it UWP and not rocker per se: I'd say it's either too polished or not costumey enough.</p> <p>christieanne -- I think rocker touches are great to add for a twist to the classic look, which you do so well.</p> <p>April -- can't wait to see some of your rocker style!</p> <p>Denise -- I like Urban Pacific Rocker! To me, urban ties in the East Coast with your West Coast vibe, with a rocker 'tude.</p> <p>Emily -- yes indeed, please join in!</p> <p>Janet -- I really like how you tie the rocker aspect into your overall style. You're definitely not pushing it at all.</p> <p>Suz -- can we see your alter egos come out and play some day? :)</p> <p>Zap -- ooh, I bet you can rock some studs and leather!</p> <p>Tina -- I like your analysis of your style. Rocker Princess seems quite apt, and we need some Rocker Royalty. I also like your minimalist approach -- I do much the similar (perhaps one accessory, footwear often plays the starring role, little layering). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-814233 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:52:03 +0000 Tina.b 814233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a complete style epiphany when Angie labeled me as a Rocker Princess. I feel this ties together all the aspects of what I sometime feel is a very disparate style. I love equally a very causal look, skinny jeans and Ts and a body con dress and stilettos. Somehow I feel rocker unites these contradictory elements. What remains consistent is my love of black, shiny (patent leather, esp. shoes), leather, metal details (gold and silver), lace, and high contrast looks.</p> <p>I do think I need two other qualifiers for my label though, modern and minimalist. Though I have a pretty maximal wardrobe, I'm such a simple dresser. I rarely layer anything, and I accessorize minimally. My favourite addition is always a statement cuff, or even better a matching pair of cuffs. My footwear is often a central part of my outfit. </p> <p>Also, I feel my look is quite modern, often verging into ladylike, if that makes sense. I have a profound addiction to silk blouses. I'm not very RATE at all. But at heart I am a true lover of classic rock, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd... </p> <p>I play the guitar too, not spectacularly mind you, lol. I picked my electric guitar because it was so pretty, and very much my style with the glossy white and gold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813993 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:17:46 +0000 Anonymous 813993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love more rocker! Yes, count me in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813983 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:09:20 +0000 Suz 813983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only rockers in me are actually princes in (semi) disguise: David Bowie. Annie Lennox. There is that bit of punk, too. But I keep it pretty well under wraps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813962 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:53:37 +0000 Janet 813962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rocker here! I am constantly evaluating the balance of sophistication and ease in my style, while enjoying showing off the rocker within (although in listening habits I'm an indie rock Pixies-Spoon-My Morning Jacket rocker, not to be confused with a metal or classic rocker, although David Bowie can do no wrong in my book).</p> <p>Denise, I like the addition of Pacific -- you've definitely got a California cool thing going on. I know mine is more east coast, naturally. I guess I'm striving more for NYC, since its a bit more geographically feasible. ;-)</p> <p>Emily, I'd say so! Tricia needs to join this group too, with her rockabilly style. </p> <p>Mochi, I definitely think you have a bit of this! I am always aware that I am nearing AARP qualification age and I don't want to push this look too far and look like an aging punk rocker who is in denial of her age. I know enough of those to know its not a look I aspire to. Considering that I never wore the look from head-to-toe even when I was young, I would be even less likely to do it now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813943 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:39:34 +0000 Emily 813943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does my collection of band tees and love of live music in dive bars qualify me to visit the rocker camp occasionally? You guys look like you're having so much fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813778 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 07:24:06 +0000 CocoLion 813778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una I love that picture! UWP is very rock-style friendly.</p> <p>I think any style with "urban" in it is going to have a dose of rocker.</p> <p>I came up with Bi-Coastal Urban as a style descriptor for myself and Angie came back with: Urban Pacific.</p> <p>Maybe I'll add rocker to it: Urban Pacific Rocker - does that sound cooler? Or too Nirvana? My boyfriends favorite band, I would have to say it's the Stones for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813768 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 07:09:37 +0000 Desmo April 813768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely have a heaping dose of rocker going on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813736 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 05:31:07 +0000 christieanne 813736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's totally Pat Benatar! Love it. </p> <p>I have a side/fantasy life with a slight rocker wannabe style. But I am always on the polished, classic side no matter how much I don't want to be. It's just me. So since I think my normal style is Sporty Modern Classic but I try to add the occasional edge and maybe be Sporty Rocker - but still Classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813659 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 03:57:41 +0000 catgirl 813659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've got this outfit! I try to inject a bit of rocker into my outfits, which I think meshes well with UWP. What do we see as a key difference here? I can picture it but can't articulate it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813655 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 03:53:03 +0000 rachylou 813655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have picked up some rocker things lately. That may be this year's new direction for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813654 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 03:52:47 +0000 rae 813654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely think I crossover to rocker - a guitar is an "axe," you know. And I dressed as many a rocker during my Manspiration Month challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813648 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 03:47:23 +0000 Mochi 813648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lurve the music. I have tried to look the part but always feel kind of silly if I go too far with it. Even in my teens and in college, I'd feel like a suburban poser, LOL. Plus, you know, the hair. But it's a great look and I totally agree that we have some great rockers here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813633 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 03:32:51 +0000 Mo 813633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have rocker tendencies but they are refined and don't come out too often. As a teen, I was all about the rock n roll look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813629 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 03:30:41 +0000 Caro in Oz 813629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm eclectic so I get to go anywhere:) How warrior is that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rockers-unite#post-813621 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 03:25:40 +0000 cciele 813621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So in the style descriptors I see many rockers in the mix! You may be a warrior, queen, romantic, or other hybrid, but you resonate with the rock vibe. Roll call!</p> <p>Right now I identify most with Rocker Warrior. </p>
