You will be fine. A lot of Greasers have short hair. If you feel it doesn't work for you, grow out your hair.

Question

How can I dress like a T-Bird or a Pink Lady?

Community Answer

You can find various Grease costumes online or follow tutorials to create your own authentic look. For a Pink Lady, wear a fitted top with a full skirt or capris, and style your hair in a neat ponytail; if it's short, curl it like Rizzo's. For a T-Bird, wear a black leather jacket over a white t-shirt with jeans, and slick your hair back using plenty of gel.

Question

Can male greasers wear earrings?

Community Answer

Of course! If you're going to be a greaser, you have to realize they all have personal little things going on. Jewelry is one of them. Watch old movies about greasers and you'll see that earrings are a little personal touch.

Question

How would a greaser likely dress for a fancy occasion?

WikiEmuWatcher395

Community Answer

For a fancy occasion, you should typically wear a suit. While wearing a black leather jacket and jeans might embody the greaser style, you would likely appear very out of place at such an event.

Tucking in your shirt is not a requirement for the greaser look, but it is an option. You can achieve the greaser aesthetic whether your shirt is tucked in or left untucked.

Question

Can a kid can be a greaser?

Iris8989

Community Answer

As long as you're not drinking, smoking, or doing other age-inappropriate things, you can be a kid greaser. Usually greasers are teens (as shown in the book The Outsiders, where two rival groups of teen gangs compete and fight with each other), but kids can dress like greasers too.

Question

Are greasers and bikers related?

NATHANIEL WHORTON

Community Answer

No, they are two different gangs. Bikers have beards and mustaches and ride around on motorcycles. They work hard to keep them polished and there are even bars and clubs for them. But for greasers, greasers are just a bunch of slick haired gangsters who do anything they want and stand up for each other.
