Bruce Springsteen has been one of the most influential musicians of the last century and is known for his unique style of rock 'n' roll. Right now current with a European tour with long-lived and fast-paced gigs, despite his 73 years. A style characterised by his raw and passionate voice, energetic performances, and insightful lyrics about the American working class. In terms of clothing, he has worn everything from denim to leather jackets and flannel. But what does Springsteen really have in common with a pair of stonewashed American jeans? Below we go through the music, history, and clothing style.

From The Castiles to Bruce Springsteen Band

Born in 1949, in Long Branch, New Jersey, Springsteen began his musical career in the late 1960s. He joined his first band, The Castiles, in 1965, and went on to join several other bands before forming his own group, Bruce Springsteen Band, in 1971. In 1973, Springsteen released his first album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. The album received critical acclaim but did not achieve commercial success. It was his album, Born to Run, released in 1975, that catapulted him to fame. The album featured hit songs such as "Thunder Road" and "Born to Run," and established Springsteen as a major force in the music industry. However, the first big hit song was "Dancing in the Dark" from 1984, from the album Born in the U.S.A. Most of us probably recognize the legendary LP cover with Levi's jeans and the red cap in the pocket.

Tank top, jeans, and a bandana

Bruce Springsteen's clothing style is as iconic as his music. He is known for his denim jackets, leather jackets, tank tops, and not at least his bandana, which he often wears on stage, originating in the 1980s. Springsteen's clothing style reflects his working-class roots and his love for American culture. He often incorporates elements of Americana into his outfits, such as American flags, cowboy hats, and motorcycle boots. To copy the 80's style of Springsteen, wear the frayed flannel shirt with the sleeves cut off for that true authentic Bruce.
