What is the secret of being a successful DJ? It is the rhythmical feeling, the attitude or the visual style? Even though all these things are important, the most important is - attention to details.
It is not very hard to master the basic deck, it's not very hard to mix beats together and it is even not so hard to make your own beats.
It is way more important to form your style, which eventually must be music combined with looks.
This will make you an identity and a real artist and not just a kid playing around with a pioneer deck and some plates.
When you're standing behind the turntables naturally people watch how you move and how you look, so one of the important things for a DJ is the visual style.
There are no standards here, you are not in the model business so any interesting haircut, piercing or tattoos, basically anything that will make you stand out compared to other DJ's that played that night will help.
As for clothing - tees are always important for visual style and can show for example if the DJ takes his work dead serious or just views everything as a big party.
As for direct examples lets take a look at some DJ related urban clothing.
Another great clothing brand is Jeepney, especially the DJ related designs with girls.
Somehow t-shirts like Hey DJ look just awesome.
Not over-designed or over creative just simple and sexy like good electronic music.
Another company offering great DJ designs is Addict; they have a lot of clothing with imagery related to the main things in the life of every DJ - vinyl plate's tee, headphones tee and deck tee.
Just pick the color you like! Finally the third great brand that comes to mind is Dephect Clothing.
They turn to more clever images and tend to be a bit more comic styled, like their famous Remixomatic.
By the way all three brands are deeply related to urban culture and music, support artists, etc.
When you buy their clothing you support their initiatives and practically contribute to development of your own culture.
Of course this article might seem odd to some of the DJ's and yes - the music comes first.
But there are thousands of examples when looks eventually became the difference between two similar DJ's.
So care about how you sound, but don't forget to care about how you look.
