The Rock Girl costume closely resembles Goth clothing. This kind of clothing defines the personality of a person who wouldn’t meet the whims of the society but would rather express freely who she really is.

If this style speaks for you, then you better go in a costume party mirroring your personality. But that is if you’re not already wearing it daily.

It is a common knowledge that when Rock and Goth style are mentioned, the first thing that comes into the mind is the color black. With that, pick a black shirt with awesome prints of your favorite band. This can be easily bought in major shopping malls, or in online stores.

Pair the shirt with black leather skirt and then wear torn fishnet stockings or leggings with printed stripes like Wednesday in the Addams Family. For the shoes, wear black lace up boots with thick soles or go rebel by wearing black combat boots.

Next, choose a hairstyle. For girls with short hair, beat the guys and spike your hair up. To get that electrocuted look, you must use a lot of hairspray. You can also highlight the spikes with bright colors such as red, green, or purple.

For girls with long hair, perm it and backcomb it to do it the 80’s way. Your hair must be really big.

Go heavy on the accessories. If you wish you can get fake nose rings, eyebrow bars, or studs to glue on the face temporarily. You can also wear magnet earrings so you can wear several on each ear.

Look for chokers made of leather lined with studs or spikes. Also, get black leather bracelets that will match with the chokers. You can also wear several silver necklaces and bracelets.

For your make-up, powder up until your face is as white as paper and then line your eyes heavily using black mascara. Smudge it a little bit for a smoky effect so that your eyes stand out. Complete your make-up by adding contrast on your make-up using a bright red matte lipstick.

There, you are all set. If you could play an electric guitar, bring it and rock all night long!
