Emo trends and Fashion

There are some things that are always characteristically considered part of the emo genre and culture - skinny girl jeans and pants, crazy hair, weird shoes and band-tshirts. But there are some trends that are emerging among the emo scene that are more of an accessory to the style.


Among women, hair accessories are really a hot item, from funky headbands to little-kid clips and bows. If you can add a skull and crossbones somewhere on the accessory, all the better. Any hair item in bright red, black and white or pink is almost a sure bet, because they go with so many of the emo culture colors. Rubber bracelets are also hot right now, in black, silver, purple or red. The more the better, since they’re meant to be worn in multiples to begin with.

Messenger bags or backpacks are also becoming increasingly popular, and the more pins and patches you can fit on, the better off you’ll be. Since emo culture tends towards darker colors, bags in black, red, pink or olive green are an in item, and are usually decorated with items from emo bands or things that reflect the culture, like tattoos. Band shirts are a really essential part of the emo wardrobe, and you can never have too many. Pair a band t-shirt with skinny jeans and Chucks or any brands of skate shoes, and youve got the everyday emo outfit. Complete with hair bows, lots of makeup (if you’re a woman), emo hairstyle and jewelry, and you’re off to face the day as an emo kid.
