What would you wear to an emo party?

[AnchorDownDeepBreath]

A friend is having an emo party at the weekend, to celebrate getting old. I have no idea what to wear. I didn't really have an emo phase..

I've got long light blonde hair that would probably hold any dark dye for years, so I don't think I can dye it. I'm a size 8/10 but I'm still working on toning my stomach. I like my boobs.

I think I'll have to buy things because I don't think I have much that will suit. At the moment, I live in ripped jeans or leather trousers and vests. I do have a choker. And vans.

Any suggestions? I'd like to keep it cheap if I can but I know I'll have to buy stuff, that's okay. Thank you all! I'm totally lost.

Back comb the hell out of your hair, add pink and blue streaks, put too much eyeliner badly around your eyes.

Skinny black jeans, checked shirt, sweat bands on your wrists and children's bracelets. A belt that is only in the front two loops and hags over your butt. If you can draw some black and red nautical star tattoos, more the better.

Examples here courtesy of Google, don't forget the sheepish pouty face too

Fringe (bangs) black skinny jeans with boots (Dr martens preferably), checked shirt, back combed poofy hair, black eye liner.....done!

Oh and a bit of colour in your hair. I like ultraviolet and turquoise in mine. You can buy hair chalk that washes out

Yay, thank you all! I'm excited now.

I'll go shopping at lunch to get everything and If I'm feeling brave, I'll add some photos :)

I love this idea. I'm sad but I do wish I could still pull off my emo look of my early 20s (it was more a skate emo than vampire emo)

Oh how I miss the emo/scene days

Skinny jeans have to be black
The contents of Claire's accessories
Back combed hair but poker straight fringe
Loads of eyeliner
Black nails
Converse or dms

May dig my old stuff out now!

Back combed hair with fringe/half your face covered, eyeliner on fleek, cat's whiskers drawn on, fall out boy t shirt, black skinny high waisted jeans with knee rips and converse or black boots.

Studded belt!

I would LOVE this party!!! Lots of dark eyeliner and definitely the hair chalks! Black or dark nail varnish. I would go for wide leg jeans I think.

An air of misery and despair.

An emo party sounds fantastic! With your description you should go as Avril Lavigne.

Sadly, most of my wardrobe would be fine for this!

Without having to shop I'd go for:
black skinnies
Converse
black vest top
open red shirt
shedload of eyeliner
backcombed hair
black nail varnish

I'd need to borrow/buy some of those rubber bracelet things, ideally with band names on.
