Bullet Blues Rock Star Style Radar: Jon Bon Jovi
With gig and festival season at the top of summer’s agenda, who better to appeal to Bullet Blues’ style radar than the father of rock music himself, Jon Bon Jovi! For decades the world has had a major crush on this guy’s powerful vocals, and high-voltage guitar riffs, not to mention his dashingly handsome wardrobe that no edgy rock star would be complete without. Since Jon’s musical claim to fame back in the 80s with ‘Living on a Prayer’, a hit song that has managed to win almost everybody’s hearts, this is a rocker who has really stood the test of time not just with his endless list of number one singles and albums, but with his unique ability to continuously transform his style.
A style chameleon in his own right, there are many ways you can follow in the footsteps of Mr. Jovi and channel your inner rocker, from biker and glam rock styles, to hipster, punk and beyond. Learn how to take on board some of Jon’s seasoned dress code tips and let your wild child take center stage throughout the festival season and beyond. You’ll find us in the front row…
Stonewashed Jeans
If you’re going to go for the classic glam rock look circa Jon Bon Jovi 1986, you’ll need a pair of Bullet Blues designer denim jeans to help you on your way to becoming a rock god. We have a plethora of casual pieces just waiting to be snapped up for summer. With our Bullet Blues ‘Cowboy Azurin’ boot-cut jeans, you can make this particular style of jean your own by customizing them with razor blades, sewing on patches or if you’re feeling daring enough, why not add some bleach to the fabric for an even lighter acid washed effect. They may not be super tightly fitted as Jon famously wore in his glam rocker days, but this subtle faded pair certainly have that signature stonewashed lighter blue denim that so many rock enthusiasts know and love. Wear them with a distressed pair of cowboy or biker boots to complete the bottom half of your rugged rock star look. There’s plenty of inspiration to be found around the web, but this Pinterest board is a good place to start!
Shirts and Tees are Every Rocker’s Best Friend
Here at team Bullet Blues, there are a number of reasons why we love Jon Bon Jovi’s versatile style. Not only does he have a penchant for casual tees, but he also likes to wear a lot of dress shirts. Take his all-American look in the image below as a leading example…

Our Bullet Blues ‘Chambray’ button-up shirt is the must-have wardrobe essential to covet if your goal is to the nail that made in USA look. Jon pulls this off so well, and now you can too! What’s so appealing about the Chambray shirt is that you can choose to have the sleeves rolled up to the elbows or buttoned down at the wrists to suit your own personal sense of style. But if you’re heading to a dinner date or a gig in the midst of summer, why not roll up this super soft shirt and own the night! Like Jon has done with his ‘all in blue’ outfit, just add some rosary beads and layer up on the festival bracelets to keep things fresh.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for a cool closet separate that can be thrown on at a moment’s notice but won’t compromise on your rock star status, we have two amazing vintage tee designs that you’re going to love! Jon Bon Jovi always manages to look the part on and off stage when he chooses the casual printed tee, and there’s nothing more summer-appropriate than wearing a piece that looks and feels great. Wouldn’t you agree guys?
So although Jon has had his fair share of extravagant stage costumes over the decades (and we love him for this), it would seem that his go-to outfit is the classic jeans and shirt combo, freshened up with a casual rocker tee or two for good measure. Just don’t forget to invest in a statement leather jacket, an edgy pair of boots and stock up on your fave jewelry to complete this all round memorable look!
