Do you mean original like way back in the 80's? i am unsure because you said "dresses like" which made me think you might be speaking of how people dress currently.

Are you asking about bandana colour for a particular reason?

There's no fashion requirement. However, with every scene there are looks that become prominent. Rob Dobi pokes fun at all scenes, including hardcore/punk:

So why were you asking about the colour in particular?

As for the way people dressed back in the 80's, well best thing to do is check out album inlays from that period and also check out books covering hardcore and straightedge from that period also...theres quite a few available.

There's also Straight Edge "Sub Genres", for instance the Youth Crew movement:

The youth crew fashion, different from the stereotypical skinhead fashion worn by many NYC-area hardcore music fans circa 1988, is preserved in record-liner photos, videos, and zine photos from that era. The look was more conventional than a lot of punk fashion. In an interview in 2004's All Ages: Reflections on Straight Edge, Cappo described the youth crew look as being "Tony Hawk meets Beaver Cleaver."

Youth crew fashion included bleached hair, crewcuts and similar haircuts, athletic wear, letterman jackets, sportswear, army pants or shorts, oversized T-shirts bearing band logos or straight edge slogans, hooded sweatshirts and hightop basketball shoes. 7 Seconds and their fans often drew black lines under their eyes in a similar manner to athletes. Hardliners and more militant straight-edgers sometimes wore camouflage and military surplus gear. The Swatch X-Rated became popular in youth crew fashion. Sports brands, such as Adidas, Nike or Champion, were popular in youth crew fashion.

The year 1988 is often considered to be the peak of youth crew straight edge New York hardcore, so the abbreviation '88 sometimes appears in songs, T-shirts, album cover art or other media. 1988 is also commonly remembered as a year that was very violent and dangerous in the New York hardcore scene, when a lot of clubs closed or banned hardcore concerts.
