Find the best Buddy Holly Costumes and Accessories

If you are into rock and roll, then you definitely know who Buddy Holly is. Even if you are a child of the 90s who doesn’t know better, you can still be a good Buddy Holly. Especially with fashion always looking backwards for inspiration and the latest ideas, you will definitely be able to find that a Buddy Holly costume is not difficult at all. After all, plaids are the latest “in” material in fashion nowadays and wouldn’t you know it, so are geek glasses. So decking out in a Buddy Holly costume doesn’t seem to weird after all.

First off, let us start with the face. Of course, no one is asking you to go for plastic surgery in order to actually look like Buddy Holly. But you would need to invest in certain things that would make you instantly recognizable as the founding father of rock and roll. Mention Buddy Holly and a lot of people would immediately picture a youngish looking man who had horn rimmed glasses and a mop of thick wavy hair. Not exactly a hippy but not so clean cut either. If you already have that mop of thick, black hair, then congratulations are in order because you wouldn’t need to do much except style it in the way that Buddy Holly often did. However, if you are a blond or a redhead, you would definitely need to invest in a wig for the night.

Now on to the clothes that Buddy Holly often wore. In his own way, Buddy Holly was a fashion plate but he wasn’t a victim to his clothes, instead preferring to let his music do the talking. The best part of it is that you would most probably have what he usually wears in your closet. Failing which, it would be easy to find the items that you need in a nearby store. Your Buddy Holly costume should consist of a white crisp shirt, a plaid jacket or a grey blazer, black pants and black shoes. Of course, no Buddy Holly costume is complete without the famous skinny tie. The colour doesn’t have to match the plaid jacket – that is where you can put in a little dash of your own personality. An added prop that you can opt for would be a guitar but if you are thinking of going out and enjoying a bit of a dance, I would suggest that you leave the instrument at home.

So there you have it. Your Buddy Holly costume is complete. Not too difficult to do, right? The only problem that I can potentially forsee when it comes to the costume would be Buddy Holly’s plaid jacket. However, all you have to do is raid your relative’s closet and you might be surprised at the amount of gems that you can find there. Of course, the gems are in relation to your costume and probably not anything else on ordinary days. Just remember that Buddy Holly was a rocker at heart so put on your wig and your Buddy Holly costume and prepare to rock it the whole night long!
