Punkabilly is a subculture that mixes 1970s punk rock and 1950s rockabilly . The clothing is largely reflective of the popular styles worn by the musicians in the 1950s; slacks, pastel-colored and Daddy-O-styled shirts, baggy coats with shirt collars worn over the coat collar, brothel creeper shoes in various colors (black and white being the most popular). Levi's jeans (501 or 505), T-shirts and rocker jackets and other more casual items are also part of the style. Punkabillies look very similar to other music/fashion subcultures, like rockabillies, greasers, Teddy Boys and rockers. The hairstyle is usually a traditional or punk-influenced exaggerated "pomp" (AKA pompadour) hairstyle, as was popular with some 1950s rock 'n' roll musicians and fans — and with rockabilly revival stars from the 1980s, such as Stray Cats. This hairstyle is either maintained with large amounts of hair spray or pomade (hair wax) of traditional brand names like Royal Crown, Black & White Pluko, Murrays, and Layrite. Many punkabillies have a love and respect for classic American cars (i.e.Cadillacs), British motorcycles, Rock and Roll music, and vintage clothing.
