HOW TO DRESS METAL

People think the standard Metal uniform of band T-shirt and jeans is easy. And in a way they’re right. But passions run high – high enough for the choice of T-shirt not to be taken lightly. Not only must you worry about what band you’re going to choose, which is a perilous decision in the first place, but you also need to think about its rarity value, its kudos, the effect it would have on a fellow, say, Molly Hatchet fan, were you to bump into one on the high street. If that Molly Hatchet fan saw you in a bog-standard latest-album design with its colours still vivid on the print, you’d feel obliged to explain that you are a real fan, and haven’t just got into them recently despite the pristine appearance of the T-shirt. What you want to be wearing is that limited-edition tour T-shirt, the faded one and, most importantly, the one with the tour dates on the back. Having the tour dates on the back (preferably for a gigantic, world-straddling tour with tons of dates in Germany and places you’ve never heard of in America) makes you a proper fan. And if the tour you’re advertising on your back took place over five years ago, you’re pretty much sorted. Every Metal fan has at some point in his or her life walked down the street in the depths of winter with their denim or leather jacket slung over their arm, just to show off the tour dates on the back of their T-shirt.

The T-shirts have to be black. In the 70s they were occasionally red, but red fades to pink which is unacceptable. Black fades really nicely into ‘old’, ‘old’ becomes ‘favourite’, and ‘favourite’ often turns into ‘second skin’. When it comes to the design itself, the most important feature is the band’s logo. This is a straightforward branding exercise. The logo should be elaborate and embellished with one of a few standard lettering effects – gothic, or spiky, or three-dimensional, or even all three – but not so complicated as to be impossible to replicate in felt tip on the back of a denim jacket or in an exercise book. Uriah Heep really messed up – their labyrinthine design was much too difficult to draw without artistic training, so people tended not to bother trying and wrote UFO instead. Here are a few generic-looking logos of bands you may not have heard of, to demonstrate the general effect:

‘Destruction’ are German.

‘Overkill’ – I don’t know why they chose to separate the word in their logo like that.

This says ‘Venom’.

This says ‘Witchfinder General’.

The logo is particularly important when it comes to the Heavy Metal T-shirt, because the rest of the illustration will often be interchangeable with any other band’s. It might be a dragon, an apocalyptic urban scene featuring explosions, a crude image of five or so longhairs (the band themselves), a big motorbike, a large-breasted woman (often with the band’s name tattooed prominently on her upper arm), and if the band is American, a top-hatted, half-zombie Uncle Sam figure, cackling and pointing a spindly finger at you. Most of these images have been used at one time or another by everybody. The only Metal band whose art is particularly recognisable are the Maiden, with their lifelong mascot, the famous zombie ‘Eddie the Head’. Eddie features on all of the band’s album covers and most of their merchandise.

Jeans are easier. Any jeans are fine, so long as they’re not fashionable. If you take too much time over choosing the jeans you’ll be labelled a ponce. Bleached tight jeans will see you through without any problems. So too will filthy ones, and good old-fashioned grease never goes amiss either; it signifies a manual job, possibly with hot-rods or motorbikes, which is a good impression to give.

If you have spindly legs, you might want to go a step further down the jeans highway and invest in a pair of tight, clinging ones. These come in a variety of different types. The most Metal are the legendary stripy Spandex, as sported by behemoths all over the world since the early 80s. Spandex is the definitive Metal legwear; it’s skin-tight and comes in a huge variety of rainbow hues and faux animal prints. Tiger-striped, sequinned, leopardskin, black and white, leather effect, pinstriped, spangled, satin, polka-dotted – pretty much anything and everything goes, and amazingly no one (well, no Metaller) will raise an eyebrow to question your sexual orientation. For best effect the Spandex is finished off with a gleaming pair of bright white ankle-hugging trainers.

This chap knows he’s got it exactly right.

When it comes to coats, you can choose between two: denim or leather. The leather jacket – stolen wholesale from the Brando/Dean model of the 1950s – has, from the 70s onwards, been the purists’ staple. The only problem with the leather jacket is that you can’t really sew patches on to it, but it overcomes this design flaw by looking plain mean. What you could attach to your leather jacket were studs; in the late 80s they sometimes came with studs already on them, if you were a twat.

The denim model, though plainly cheaper and a little more versatile, was always considered the slightly younger brother of the leather. There were all sorts of things you could do to your denim jacket (things that would’ve ruined your leather one), such as add band patches, strategic rips, hem-scuffing and writing on them with felt-tip. The denim was an all-round friendlier type of beast – easier to celebrate your favourite bands with, but lacking the sweat and fusty creak of the bad-boy leather. Motorhead, arguably the only genuinely ‘cool’ Metal band ever, only wore leather jackets – crusty old biker numbers with wide lapels that flapped in the wind. They probably even wore them in bed (if they ever went to bed, that is).

Leather trousers are completely different. They’ve always been a big mistake, especially if you spend hundreds of pounds on a gleaming off-the-peg pair, which just give you tree-trunk thighs and a huge baggy arse. The only person ever to have looked cool in a pair of leather trousers (and even then only for about five minutes) was Jim Morrison. In the late 80s, though, during the new Glam Rock, leather trousers came back with a vengeance. In a way they replaced Spandex, which had slipped slowly out of fashion due to bands like Saxon never being out of the stuff. These new leather trousers began to develop accessories such as tassels, sequins and laces up the sides. This all looked quite nice for a while, but in the end they were just another easy target for Kurt Cobain and his subversive cardigans.

I’ve mentioned big white trainers, but after Guns n’ Roses came along, you had to wear cowboy boots, wherever you happened to belong on the Metal tundra. If you were sold on the whole Guns aesthetic like most people (their look would rule the Metal school right up until the end), you wore your jeans inside your cowboy boots, showing them off in all their fake chintz glory. But if you were still refusing to bow to the whole sleaze thing, or were on the whole Thrash Metal trip, you brought your blue jeans out and over like actual cowboys did.

Assuming you didn’t do that, assuming you had a shred of cool, you wore them with tight black jeans, much like a goth might. But – and think about this – have you ever seen a Metaller walking around with just a basic pair of cowboy boots? No! For God’s sake man, where are your spurs? In my era, between 1986 and 1992, all you could buy on Carnaby Street (the only place to go if ever you want to dress Metal) were accessories for your cowboy boots and skull-motif bandannas. But it wasn’t just spurs you could improve your naked boots with; all kinds of metallic understrapped appendages were permissible – studs, stars, flower shapes, bells, rivets, skulls, indeed anything and everything went, just so long as it flattered your ankles, jingled loudly or hurt.

Have I mentioned jumpers? Good. They’re not allowed. Granny’s knitted you a woolly pullover with ‘Warrant’ stencilled on it?

Variation: Alter your shirts to make them more personalized. For instance, you could turn your shirt into a crop top, cut slits in the side, or cut a new neckline. You might even slice the shirt down the back and pin it back together with safety pins.

Variation: Skip the tights if you prefer to keep your look simple or if you’re worried about sweating in the heat.

Variation: Coloring your hair is also a great way to add a little edge and individuality to your hairstyle. Add a punch of bright red or pink, go black, or bleach your hair white.

Tip: Normally, you want to go bold on either your eyes or your lips. However, metal style is edgier, so it’s okay to do both.

How to Wear Metallic at Day (Ultimate guide)

Metals and fabric with metal threads as well as metallic looking fabrics have fascinated humankind since the Antique. New industrial techniques made them affordable for evening in the last century and now for everyday. This post answers the pressing question how to wear metallic and not look like trying too hard.

40+ Women Have Seen Metallic Trends Come and Go

Clothing in metallic or with metallic have been around for more than thousand years. However, historically they were reserves for the aristocrats and the rich, not Jane Doe. In antique and the medieval times, the threads were namely real gold. In the last century, procedures made cheap metallic threads and colors available. Thus, now gold, silver, copper and rose-gold clothes, shoes and bags became affordable for mid-class women. Clothes in these colors were first reserved for special occasions, and festive attire for the holiday season.

Metallic in the Last Decades

We 40+ and 40++ gals saw the lame sweaters of our moms in the late 60s, early 70s. Just a subtle thread gave the black, gray or beige sweater some festive, mystic touch. Of course, as kids, we adored these sweaters! If we were lucky, we got one for Sunday’s Best in red with gold or silver or in pink with silver foil lame.

In the late 1970s, the Bohemian Style Indian dresses, skirts, vests and tops with gold painting were just awesome. I had a skirt-top-vest outfit and a dress in this style.

In the 1980s, full-on lame dresses, golden or silver jackets and tops came up for going out and some gold stripes made it into everyday wear. I recall having knitted a winter white sweater with stripes. These stripes where in the same yarn as the entire sweater, but with thin gold lame thread added.

I spent most of the 1990s in East Germany after the unification. East German women of all ages loved everything with crystals and metallic, while I run around in the all black 90s’ uniform with an Euro Chic twist.

Having seen metallic over the decades and how it was styled, one can quickly step into a routine and end up looking old-fashioned and Old Lady because the styling is not up-to-date.

How to Wear Metallic the New Way

In the Millennium years, metallic became a neutral and fully integrated into day wear. This means you style it the same way how to wear neutrals. The photos below show outfit ideas for silver pleated skirts, pencil skirts, pants and a golden skirt and coat for various seasons.

Explained Example Outfit

I originally bought this skirt for dancing as the pleats make for a nice twirl when spinning. However, since pleats are eternal classic I put the skirt in the every-day rotation. Here I styled it the edgy street style way with sneakers and a denim jacket, graphic Tee and a statement necklace worn Jenna Lyons style – over the jacket. I added a scarf and designer bag in a similar color as the Tee.

Metallic at day are a safe bet when paired with neutrals, but when paired with bright, bold colors make the colors the statement and reserve the silver/gold/copper for the shoes, belt or bag.

Sexy Metal Dress & Metal Mesh Clothing

Introduction: Sexy Metal Dress & Metal Mesh Clothing

Stay HOT in this sexy lil dress! In this tutorial I,ll be showing you how to make this beautiful dress shown above, as well as piece together clothing made of metal mesh. Metal clothing has become very popular and trendy lately but it can also be very pricey. This tutorial will allow you to get the perfect piece of clothing for a much better price.

Step 1: Gather All Materials

What you’ll need:

Step 2: Measure Your Material

For this specific dress I used 2 rectangular pieces of mesh measuring 24in x 21in and 18in x 21in, However depending on your body or the piece of clothing you’re trying to make you may need different size pieces. Make sure you measure your body for the pieces you need before ordering your material and especially before cutting.

Step 3: Cut Your Material

For this step you will be using your wire cutters. Cut in straight line across your fabric at the measurement you need. The metal mesh I used in this project had rhinestones over the whole thing so I made sure to cut in between the rows of rhinestones for a perfectly straight cut.

Step 4: Attach the Pieces of Material

Lay your two fabrics together with the inside of each piece of fabric touching. Using your 2 pairs of needle nose pliers bend the jewelry rings open, hook them through both pieces of mesh and bend closed. Place the jewelry rings about 1 inch apart all the way down each side. I left a very large slit on either side of my dress but this can be adjusted based on your preference.

Step 5: Attach Jewelry Chain

The jewelry chain will be used as the halter strap for your dress. I chose a pretty thick chain for the look and also durability. You’ll attach this to both top corners of your dress using the jewelry rings in the same way as step 4. I Also chose to attach a small piece of chain in the dip in the front of the dress because of how low cut it is to avoid a fashion malfunction.

Being goth is all about being yourself and subverting traditional expectations and ideas. This means that there are a lot of different ways to customize a gothic look based on your personal tastes. That being said, there are a few general guidelines that you can follow to make sure that your look fits the goth aesthetic. To dress gothic, stick to black clothing, choose a hairstyle that suits you, and pick up some leather accessories to bring your look together.

Tip: Being goth is all about being transgressive. Avoid dad sneakers and popular brands that utilize a lot of colors in their designs. When looking at a pair of sneakers, ask yourself if a non-goth could pull them off. If the answer is yes, then you may want to look at a different pair.

Warning: If you’ve never used a flat iron before, enlist the help of someone who has. The pads can burn your hair or skin if you aren’t careful, and you don’t want to risk damaging your hair permanently.

Tip: If you don’t like the way that you look with eyeliner, don’t worry about it! It’s not permanent and quite easy to remove with some liquid oil or makeup cleaner.
