Rockabilly Clothing by Trash Monkey

Rockabilly clothing, the name congers up images of Sun Records, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers and even the early Beatles. Cowboy boots, western shirts, slicked up hair styles and black chinos all embody the style of early Rock and Roll coupled with a western flair. The style may not be enjoyed by the masses, but that’s what makes this unique style so endearing. The look is rowdy, distinctive and very awesome.

At Trash Monkey, we revere that look. In reality, rockabilly clothing has never been abandoned; it was simply hidden among alternative styles without fanfare. Trash Monkey is proud to showcase an extraordinary collection of rockabilly clothes and retro dresses including: hats, gloves, jewellery, shoes, dresses, trousers, cowboy boots, cowgirl boots, combat boots, accessories and more. You’ll find a vast array of rockabilly clothing and other alternative styles with striking designs by a wide variety of brands including:

Alice Takes a Trip
Bada Bing
Bettie Page
Manic Panic
Day of the Dead
Disturbia
Ed Roth Rat Fink
Hell Bunny
Kill Star
Manic Panic
Retro Rockabilly
Lime Crime
Voodoo Vixen
Pinup Girl Clothing
Many more!
At Trash Monkey, rockabilly clothing isn’t a side dish; it’s the main course. Classic styles that stole the hearts of America’s hip crowd could never die, no more than Rock and Roll could ever die. Perfect for concert wear, hanging at the beach, weekend parties, shopping, or chillin’, rockabilly clothes epitomises youth and unconventionality. They bring out the joy of being your own person, and celebrating the fun of life.

You’ll find an amazing assortment of retro dresses featuring styles that not only turn the guys’ heads but the girls’ too! There is chic feminine attire along with hypnotic street designs that create a striking pose. We feature hair colours, distinctive neckties, sexy socks, belts, sunglasses, handbags, hair clips and everything to add the perfect touch to your outfit.

You’ll also discover a superb collection of menswear including western shirts, boots, hats, ties and jewellery.

You’ve heard of alternative music. Now there’s alternative clothing to go along with it. Alternative clothing is, in a nutshell, a style of fashion that has at some point in time not been aligned with what was mainstream. The most prominent styles are those of the ’emo’ and ‘goth’ fashions, but others that coincide with specific subcultures include ‘cyberpunk,’ ‘industrial,’ and even ‘hip hop.’ Commonly seen on individuals who want to make a statement or stand out from the crowd of people wearing whatever brand name is popular, alternative fashion plays the part of making a statement more so than being functional. The clothing might be bright and colourful, or dark and grungy – either way, something that appeals to a cult audience more so than the mainstream.

An example of an alternative clothes line that represents alternative fashion is Dickies. While popular, Dickies’ overly long shorts and high socks represent the hip hop subculture more than any sort of mainstream fashion, and this sets it apart so that it falls firmly into the realm of alternative fashion.

Another example is Alice Takes a Trip. Marked by clothing with dark colours and a distinct goth feel, Alice Takes a Trip covers a wide range of personalities. With dresses adorned with forest patterns and wildlife, the clothing certainly makes a statement that won’t soon be forgotten.

The company Liquor Brand is another example. Their clothing seems to come right out of a biker bar, with dark angels and skulls, flames and playing cards adorning shirts, hats, and even purses. The brand portrays a distinct sense of toughness and is reminiscent of the Hell’s Angels.

Retro Rockabilly hearkens back to the rockabilly era of the 50s and 60s with its floral, high waist dresses, the large sunglasses, and the classy and elegant pearl necklaces. Anyone with this style could fit as easily in a Beach Boys video as they could in the modern day.

No matter the brand, alternative clothing has one thing in common: a burning desire to stand apart from the crowd, to be noticed, and to say “We are unique.”
