I thought this might be a cheeky and fun blog to post! I may even make it into a video, who knows! This style is pretty much music related as well, because bands and music really do influence every single part of my life… even fashion.
I’ve noticed recently that quite a few people are sort of adopting pieces of my style – which is totally cool! But I thought it would be interesting to see where I get my own influences from. See if it surprises any of you 😉
Disclaimer : A lot of guys actually voted for me to post this blog, which I am totally loving, because this blog is probably going to be more for your benefit than anyone else’s…
Before I dive in, I’m just going to be blatantly honest and say that I’ve never been a girly girl. Girls ideals have never really appealed to me, so if you’re here thinking your going to find some awesome new girls to follow on TikTok… you’ve come to the wrong chick.
I wear an awful lot of mens clothes, and I do often shop in the mens sections in stores. I just love the alternative ranges they have, and I’m hugely influenced by feminine males. There is just something about a guy in eyeliner that makes the heart race, you know?
I’ve been taking influences from rockstars since I was 7 years old, so it’s no surprise it has followed me through life. I’d probably wear a suit to my own wedding!
Luke Spiller – The Struts
Luke is incredibly glam, and his style changes rather often (much like my own). He is very much a chameleon, just like the likes of David Bowie. The thing about Luke Spiller is, he combines all the best rockstars into one person i.e; David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Joan Jett, Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger. I’ve tried to copy his outfits a few times now, and I always feels so confident about my image when I do. I think I am probably going to model myself on this guy the most just because if I was a dude, I’d look like him 100%.
I’ve noticed that lately he has started wearing suits, and I am absolutely living for this – because I myself am experimenting with this look!
I absolutely love how he plays with the androgynous look and combines all of his favourite musicians into one style, which is something I try and do as well – take small influences from each person until you come up with your own style.
My two Luke Spiller outfits are inspired by the “Strange Days” and “Low Key” music videos.
Tyler Bryant – Tyler Bryant and The Shakedown
Hair goals! Why do guys always have so much nicer hair than women?! I’ve been a big fan of Tyler Bryant’s style for a few years now – I just love his hair, one of the reasons I dyed mine black back in 2017, and I love his rock ‘n’ roll rockstar look! It’s just so simple yet sleek. The whole black bouncy hair, black leather jacket and black skinny jeans is totally my vibe! Everytime I listen to his music it makes me want to dye my hair black and get loads of layers cut in… which I am debating you know. I’ve been thinking red, but my heart is saying “dye it black again, do it, dye it black” – you rockers are bad influences! I’m never going to be seen with girly hair in dresses at this rate haha.
The Treatment are also a band who rock a very similar vibe in terms of style/image.
I’m pretty sure he rocks the no makeup look as well, which only adds to his masculinity (even though I do think guyliner should be a staple for most guys aha), and just proves how effortless his style is… roll out of bed, shake your hair, put on a leather jacket, done. When I feel like looking extra badass or sexy, I always go for the Tyler Bryant kind of vibe.
Josh Todd – Buckcherry
Hot damn! If I could walk around in just jeans and a leather jacket I totally would… but unfortunately, I have bits and pieces that sort of need covering up so they don’t offend the general public. Maybe one day I’ll just leave the house in some saucy piece from Ann Summers and a leather jacket and channel my Josh Todd vibes – he is another person who makes me want to look sexy and badass! Like I want to be noticed! This is why I’m not really girly. I look at blokes and think “corr, I wish I looked like that“.
I am obsessed with Josh Todd’s accessories… i.e his jewellery. That big silver handcuff chain necklace everyone keeps asking me about? Inspired by Josh Todd. I wish I could be as tattooed as him as well, he is just a walking talking piece of art really isn’t he. Look at his cool Rockstar mystique! If only I could look exactly like that!
For the time being I’ll just have to make do with pinching his awesome accessories… like his sunglasses, necklaces, rings and belts.
Jeffree Star – Jeffree Star Cosmetics
I guess this might seem like an odd style icon to some of you, seeing as Jeffree is a lot more girly than all the other people on this list. Well, what I like most about Jeffree is the GLAM! I love the effortless blend of his eye makeup looks, and how he just pulls off the colour pink and is just always so classy. I’d love to be classy, but I’m just too masculine and have zero confidence to pull it off. All the makeup I use is Jeffree Star Cosmetics (not here for hate, I’m not fussed if you don’t like or support him) I love all his formulas. As much as I’d love to roll out of bed and look how I want, that isn’t possible, I do need the power of makeup to help me out and I’m still experimenting with how I want my makeup to look – I change my makeup looks on the daily, and that’s something quite cool because you never have to look the same again, you can wipe it off and look totally different the next day; I am really enjoying getting back into playing with colours, eyeliner, contour etc again. I try and do my makeup looks as similar as I can to Jeffree’s, because they are just so damn pretty and I’m a sucker for pretty glam eye looks with lashes… I’m also obsessed with contour. Contour queens in the house!
I feel like my inner Jeffree likes to experiment with colour as well. Jeffree is my girly side coming out, otherwise I’d genuinely wear black all the time. Sometimes there’s a pop of colour in my wardrobe and it’s never subtle. It’s either black or RED or PINK or YELLOW!
Chris Robinson – The Black Crowes
This is where the obsession with flares came from. I discovered The Black Crowes last summer when I was going through a bit of a rough patch, and fell in love with Chris Robinson’s Mick Jagger/70’s vibes and instantly knew I had to take a few bits of his fashion style. Mainly the flares. I think I really look good in flares, you know? They hug my figure in all the right places and make my legs look pretty sleek.
The thing about the 70’s look is that it’s suitable for a lot of weather types and it’s sort of acceptable to wear all year round. Flares will never not look cool. Glitter, sparkles, faux fur, going for a walk, out for dinner, to a pub or going to a gig… you just can’t really go wrong can you? Plus it gives you the perfect opportunity to stand out a little bit, because not a lot of girls these days go down the 70’s route. This era has always been one that looks bloody good on me though… often get a few looks in this style.
Patrick Bateman – American Psycho
A fictional character? A fictional psychopath? Really Jodes? YES! Absolutely! Again, I love the subtle class. This is where my love of suits came in. I’ve always wanted to be able to pull off a look in a suit and I just never had the confidence. One day I decided to scratch my itch and bought myself a few suits and realised I didn’t look too bad! I feel like 25 year old Jodie wants to embrace more class, sophistication and strong independent woman vibes…. I’ve done the whole 80’s rocker thing, and as much as I love it, I feel I’m fading away from that era slightly these days.
Another little nod I like to give to Patrick Bateman is wearing human teeth as jewellery. If you’ve seen me out and about before, I’m sure you would’ve noticed I have some suspicious looking ‘pearl’ earrings and a matching necklace… yeah, they are in fact teeth… and I just really really like them. I guess you’ve got to be pretty brave to wear such objects?
Maybe this blog has inspired someone? Maybe change up their style a bit? I’m still struggling myself, I’ve no idea what I want to look like but I think I am getting there slowly and I’m gradually getting more confident!
Image is something we can all experiment with. Fashion is something that helps us to express our personality to the outside world. Besides… being normal is boring!!
Who wants to look like everyone else, when you can stand out ❤
(I bet you all expected to see Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Nikki Sixx on the list didn’t ya)
