Emo Girls

The emo style is a really modern and individual way to dress, and you can have a lot of fun planning your emo wardrobe, makeup and hairstyles. You don't have to be fully immersed in the emo scene to enjoy listening to some of the bands and wearing related styles, but remember that anytime you adapt a different and rebellious style you may get comments from people, and some of these will likely be negative. You should always choose a style that you feel comfortable in and one that compliments your personality, and then even if people are rude to you.you can just brush it off as you are beig true to yourself. The same goes for you as well, other styles are just as acceptable as emo, so don't be rude to people you think of as being unimaginative, preppy or shallow.

There are some common themes in the style of emo, and this can be a good place to start planning your own emo look from. Emo hair is a big part of the style, and for girls this is a chance to get really inventive. Emo hair is always in good condition, with razor sharp choppy layers, so make sure you get a good professional cut before you start styling at home.


  

         The fringe is normally long, so it frames and drapes over the facebut you can do anything you like with the layers, and create interesting textures having a mixture of long and short layers. Emo hair is normally very straight and glossy, but if you have a longer style you can jazz this up a bit with curly, crimped or combed back sections, and tie up pieces with funky clips and hair grips. Straight braids and ponytails are not normally a feature of emo styles, but they can be combined as small parts of an overall style. Spiky hair is also common in emo hair, but these should be smooth and sleek, rather that the messy spikes of the punk style. In terms of colour the basic tone of emo style is jet black, but this is normally brightened up with lots of highlights or lowlights in a variety of funky colours including electric blue or green, neon pink and white blond.

Emo clothes are split into two main styles, street style and glam. Street style is the short of thing you might wear to college or just round a friends house, tight dark jeans with funky belt, band t-shirt, black or stripy jumper/hoody, and canvas sneakers or skate shoes. Skirts are normally teamed up with stripy long socks or leg warmers, and pumps or sneakers. Glam style is what you would probably wear to a gig or night out, or if you are out to lunch with friends. Smart

shirts with an edgy cut in black or a very bright colour, ties for that sexy/smart St Trinians look in contrasting colours and funky patterns, designer tight jeans and some killer black or red high heels or wedge shoes. Glam styles are always accessorized to the max, so go crazy with belts, bangles, necklaces, hairgrips, and badges - basically the works!

An emo girl is a girl who likes to dress in emo fashion, has an emo(tional) personality and listens to emo music. (Such as Bright Eyes.) Emo girls like to hang out with other emo girls and emo boys. They are usually sad most of the time, do not smile very often, and just like emo boys, show no signs of self worth or self confidence whatsoever and will not make eye contact with you. An emo girl has very dark hair, either cut somewhere around their shoulder, or in the classic emo haircut, which is sort of short and spiky in the back with long sweeping bangs in the front. Their hair has to be very dark brown or black, or in some cases very light blonde as long as the cut is right. No matter what, it must be worn so that it is covering part of their face at all times. This is because emo girls tend to be shy and mysterious and don’t really want their face to show too much. They usually wear a lot of dark eyeliner and tend to have washed out skin. Most emo girls are vegetarians or vegans. Although some girls just dress in the emo style, most emo girls are sad; cry and write poetry a lot, and tend to cut their wrists. They usually hide this by wearing armbands or lots of happy colored bracelets. Their clothing consists of tight jeans, converse and dark colored tight shirts. They also might have a scarf on. They may a few have pins from shows on their jeans. They usually have at least a few piercings and wear lots of happy colored jewelry. Some wear horn rimmed glasses, some do not. They really don’t like it if you confuse them with a goth. Emo and goth are very different so don’t make this mistake. They are most likely to be seen at shows, looking completely sad and lost. Emo girls also love it when emo boys make out with each other (which they tend to do a lot). Just like Emo boys, they usually walk with their head down not making eye contact with anyone. Although most Emo kids are very sad and feel like the world hates them, they tend to understand what other Emo kids are going through. That girl over there in the corner with the dark hair, listening to Bright Eyes, and staring at the floor must be emo.
