Emo Tips : These are not necessarily facts but do show some of the things Emo people do, this is in no way mockery of Emo, simply trying to show the way Emo people dress.
the Emo Romulan look - short, thick, greasy, dyed-black hair with bangs cut straight across the forehead, and cut high over the ears. Someone from Time In Malta recently described the San Diego Crimson Curse scene as "Spock Rock."
actually, any greasy dyed black hair. Bangs in front and spikes in back is very emo too.
horn-rim glasses, or at least thick black frames.
bald head, furry face (boys only). Goes especially well with horn-rims.
heavy slacks, often too tight and short.
thin, too-small polyester button-ups in dark colors, or threadbare children's size t-shirts with random slogans. Button the collar if you got one.
clunky black shoes
scarves
gas station jackets. This has diffused a lot over the years though, it's no longer exclusive to emo kids. Nowadays, you may want to select a nice corduroy denim jacket.
also classic outerwear but quickly diffusing to normality: the famous Blue Peacoat
barrettes on boys
make-up (male or female)
too-small cardigans and v-neck sweaters
argyle
anorexic thinness. Veganism helps here.
[How to dress emo This varies depending on where you live and if you are going for the indie emo look, the nerdy emo look or the dressy emo look. Ishall go over all 3 from head to toe.
The indie emo look - (best for girls and guys 16-20)
* Dyed-black short hair with bangs short and cut straight across the forehead. Spikey in the back, slightly greasy. Really light blonde hair on girls often works too.
* Piercings. The more the better.
* Jewelry. The more the better. Beads, etc.
* Horn-rim/thick black frames/cat eye glasses (this works for all three types).
* Tight, fadded shirts with random slogans. It should look like it could have been bought at a thrift store but you didn't (but you really did). It takes a while to master that one.
* Dark denim jean jackets.
* Messenger bag covered in patches and pins (that you actually bought at shows).
* Tight pants, sometimes cuffed once or twice but never more!
* Black or blue converse shoes.
The nerdy emo look - (best for girls under 17 and guys over 21)
* Short hair. Style it messy, but not spikey.
* Horn-rim/thick black frames/cat eye glasses (this works for all three types).
* Thin, tight, solid dark color v-neck sweaters. I call them Grandpa sweaters.
* Band shirts.
* Messenger bag covered in patches and pins (that you bought at Hot Topic but you tell everyone you got them at shows).
* Dickies work pants. Blue, black or grey only!
* Argyle socks.
* Black converse shoes.
The dressy emo look - (best for girls and guys over 20)
* Black or brown hair. Flipped out on girls, mop top on guys
