The hair was, is and probably always will be an important part of the emo scene. At first, to be emo is to dye your hair black. Not everyone did, but it was what to do if you really go for the emo style. The emo hairstyle for guys usually consisted of ironing straight hair with a swooping side bang covering one eye. The emo hairstyle for women brought the idea of big hair, but also included the swooping side bang covering one eye. I think the best comparison would be the feminine styling of Elvira.
Giant arcs of hair were in style accessory for girls. Eyeliner found its way into the faces of emo kids and earned the affectionate name of coating type. Again, not all emo kids wearing shirt type, but enough that it became a very popular part of the emo fashion statement. Some even went a step further with the use of eye shadow and other make up.
The men began to wear jeans Emo girls. At first this created a great controversy then calmed down when retailers had noticed the trend and brought skinny jeans. Tight clothing, in general, was / is a standard mode of the emos.
The style of fashion was very vintage looking at first. Emos many went to thrift stores to buy printed T-shirts and flannels. Thick glasses frames, sweat bands, and messenger bags also a big thing at that time.















With emo culture, lip piercing gained popularity. This has probably contributed greatly to the explosive expansion of new piercing rooms through the opening of the United States. Emos many have a lip piercing on the left or right side of the lip.
Emo fashion has changed a lot over the last ten years. Many of the trends of fashion, once associated with being emo no longer exist, while some of them have endured over time.
