Q&A for How to Look Like a Greaser

Leather jackets, varsity jackets, Dickies jackets, plain t-shirts or vintage shirts would work. Also, like the article said cuff your jeans one to four inches.

Yes, they did!

That's okay! There are no rules about size or weight when it comes to being a greaser.

No, punks and greasers are very different subcultures.

Yes! Some popular greaser YouTube channels include Rockabilly Ragsdale, Frosty The Greaser, and Kryptic Art.

Yes, you can definitely use fake tattoos if you're unable or unwilling to get real ones.

Nope, a person of any race can be a greaser.

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

Yes, greasers can wear glasses.

There are tons of Grease costumes available online or tutorials to help you make a costume yourself. If you want to be a Pink Lady, put your hair up in a neat ponytail. If your hair is short, curl it like Rizzo's. If you want to be a T-Bird, use a lot of gel in your hair to slick it up.

The pink ladies were the clique of girls in the movie "Grease" that Sandy starts hanging out with (Rizzo, Frenchie, Marty, etc.). They wore silk pink jackets.

Just match the outfit they wear with sweaters and skirts from a vintage or resale shop, and make and sew on your own letters.

Gender is irrelevant. Just do the same thing. Wear leather jackets, tight jeans, high top Chuck Taylor’s, and do your hair appropriately.

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.

Yes of course, check out the old cat Kryptic Arts on YouTube. He sports a short shaved beard with his pomp.

Yes, you can. If you have a little hair, you can grease it, but if you're almost totally bald, I'd suggest you shave your head.

No. Most greasers start out in high school, but you can be any age and be a greaser.

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.

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.

Gothic leather jackets and black plants with a Gothic belt and an 80s rock haircut of some sort.

Yes! A pompadour might be difficult to pull off, but a strong hold pomade should work.

That's totally fine; greasers are just people who like the music and clothing. You don't need to turn into Dally from The Outsiders.

No, they couldn’t afford to wear those. They would mostly wear clothes like jean jackets, motorcycle boots, and tight white shirts.

Motorcycle boots and Converse high tops. A lot of greasers wear black Converse, but red or white might do.

Yes. You could wear a cowboy hat, but you should probably add some bling, like chains, to make it more greaser-like.

They wore blue jeans or tight skirts with a ponytail. The wore bright eyeshadow and bright red lipstick.

Just make it like a normal one, make it shiny like a greaser using grease, and makes the comb lines less obvious.

Work shirts, cowboy shirts, aloha shirts, bowling and lumberjack shirts are good. Dress shirts only with a cool suit. Best colors: black, gold, dark red and purple. Avoid button-down and polo.
