With blouses, you can combine not only skirts, but tight-fitting trousers or breeches with cuffs. Girls who dress in this style prefer shoes with heels, by the way, it should not be too high, classic shoes with glass heels look more than appropriate in a rockabilly outfit.
Rockabilly men prefer to wear colorful bright shirts with embroidery and patterns and flared or tapered trousers. A tweed jacket will perfectly complement the outfit, you can use a jacket made of another fabric, but it must be very bright.
