Katie Murray from Zoptopz with the New Boyz

Jerkin as a dance craze has been around for a few years now, and it’s style is showing no signs of slowing!  Zoptopz totally supports this movement — and we want to be a part of helping it grow.

The bold, bright colors shout for attention, and the tight fits show off nice bodies. If you want to get noticed then pin drop, reject, and tippie toe your way onto youtube and become a star.

The style of choice is as varied as the dance moves the teens are coming up with! Some good jerkin pants are skinny and colorful.  Popular colors are red, yellow, and purple. Tight jeans are almost universal with jerkers, even if they are a normal denim wash. Some good places to get skinny jeans are Hot Topic, and Urban Outfitters.

For your top, good jerking shirts will be in bold contrasting colors and preferably have a sassy slogan on them. Zazzle.com offers some fresh choices. Flannel shirts are a comfortable and popular choice to wear to your next function. And a nice accessory for that tee is a vest. These can be simple black or pinstripe and can be found for cheap at your local thrift stores.

The best accessories though are your caps and kicks! These are all important, and you could be wearing nothing else and pull off the jerkin style just with a nice hat and matching pair of shoes. These should be hyper colorful and perfectly coordinated. Some great options for your shoes are Vlado, Vans, or Converse. Vlado even sponsors the National Jerk Association (NJA). For hats, A completely original look is Zoptopz, with their crazy brim styles you would really stand out, even in that crowd! You could also rock fedoras, or newsboy caps.

However you rock it, the jerkin look requires plenty of confidence to make that swagger for real!
