How to Dress Emo in the Summer !

A lot of the Emo culture's fashion includes warmclothing, such as jeans and long shirts, or many thick layers. However, one can only hold up a certain stylethrough a certain amount of seasons. Wearing skinny jeans to the beach or walking around in a dark hoodie drenched in sweat is impractical - bordering on ridiculous. Having a personally defined style is important, but so is learning how to maintain it through all kinds of weather. If you're into the Emo fashion but can't figure out how to carry it off in the boiling heat, then sweat no more..

1. 1
   Figure out your bottoms. Skinny jeans may be popular but they cling to your body and can make you incredibly hot. Like it or not, you're going to have to invest in something lighter and more practical. Girls have it easier; you can try dresses or skirts. Try dark colored dresses with prints you like, and you can wear quarter sleeve or T-shirtsunderneath. A dark skirt that suits your taste works well in the heat. If you are going to wear a skirt or dress try wearing tights underneath, like red, black, gray, and especially striped ones. Guys, try investing in some skater punk shorts and reworking them. Dark colors like black or dark blue work well, as well as checks. Make sure the shorts aren't too tight or too short - knee length, with enough space to walk in, are good. Shorts also work fine for girls, though the style will of course vary from guys. You can go for mini shorts in darker colors, or if you aren't as comfortable, knee length in checks, prints or dark colors.
2. 2
   Sort out your shirts. A simple stock of your favorite band shirts will get you through your everyday wear, but try playing it up. Dresses will work well for girls; you can wear shorts underneath and shirts as well. Guys can stick with simple T's. If it's not incredibly hot, you can go with a three quarter sleeve shirt - a tight shirt that reaches your elbows.

   Dress in layers. Cheat the sun by dressing in many layers, so you can quickly pile on your favorite hoodie when it gets too cold. Try this:
   • Band T/simple T shirt/dress
   • Shorts/skirt
   • Zip up hoodie (these are easy to take on and off)
   • You can also wear a long shirt under your T-shirt.
4. 4
   Accessorize. Try your regular studded belt, wristbands, piercings and other jewelery to maintain your own style. Summer is also a great time to show off any tattoos which are usually hidden under heavy clothes.
5. 5
   Get proper footwear. Avoid the flip flops and complete your outfit with some personal footwear. Converse work well with pretty much anything, and are particularly good with dresses and skirts. Basically your regular footwear should be fine, though try to make sure it is suitable for your summer clothes and won't make your feet feel trapped and too hot.
6. 6
   Minimize your make up. A lot of sweat can cause heavy make up to melt. If you wear a lot of eye liner, try switching to pencil instead of liquid, and downplay it just a little bit. Instead, try playing up your eyes by using a water and smudge proof mascara, and keeping your eyebrows defined. If you wear powder, concealer and the like, minimize it and try to keep the look a little more natural, because when that type of make up starts to smudge it looks cheap and tacky.
