Rockabilly: A Brief History

It all started with the music. Rockabilly style clothing is a by-product of a music genre from the fifties, the result of a type of popular music (originating the south-east of the USA in the 1950s), combining elements of rock and roll and country music. It is a refined mixture of country, swing, rock and roll and sometimes a bit of blues. 

Rockabilly connotes the "good old days", of vintage and retro life. Pencil skirts, swing dresses, old-timey accessories such as sunglasses and Sadie style headbands, lots of polka dots, bit-lip red lipsticks, blush, and well, you get the idea. Rockabilly has mutated to include other musical influences over the years, which have themselves created their own genre: these are primarily psychobilly, punkabilly and gothbilly.
