So, a coup was staged to declare this year's New Year's Eve party a rockabilly-themed event and I have no idea how to dress. I looked around a bit, but no one seems to agree what rockabilly style really is. (Is there some kind of old stuff/new wave divide going on?) Which makes it on the other hand rather easy, but I figure I should still get some input.

What I have:
A black polo shirt. Combine it with suspenders?

I accidentally got a haircut that should make it easy enough to pull off a similar hairstyle to this guy (http://www.gq-magazin.de/mode-stil/frisuren/starschnitt-der-rockabilly-style) with some practice. Judging from that photo, a jeans shirt would also be approbriate?

I'm thinking of getting some sunglasses (http://8ballwebstore.com/menseyewear.aspx), if I can get my hands on some cheap ones.

What I'm completely undecided about are trousers and shoes. Any other accessory I should know about?

Boots. You need some Boots. Either Wellies (Gumboots), Cowboy Boots, or Good, well used walking boots.

Boots. Got it. Might have some old winter boots that fit the bill.
