Punk Style and Rock Legend Fashion

Punk style has hit everywhere from underground rock legend’s to mainstream pop artists. Here’s what you can learn from the punk rock style.

Ever since it showed up, punk style was very specific when it comes to fashion. But despite many common style features, there are numerous differences between punk fashion lovers. Most famous punkers are an obvious proof for that. Some of them improvise and rely on their creativity, while the others do not even look like punkers. That’s the evidence that punk style emerges from an attitude, not from the fashion magazines. So, let’s get to know the style of the most popular punk musicians.

1. Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious (Sex Pistols)
As the pioneers of this awesome music, they have also had a big influence in punk fashion. Their style was not less than shocking. They wear a lot of leather on many photos. Also, shredded jeans, mesh shirts, safety pins and a lot of chains – that’s what made their punk style so recognizable. Inspired by their metal accessories, we have prepared a fresh collection of wallet chains for you. Also, their hairstyles were pretty specific and crazy.

2. Patti Smith
This punk lady lets her songs talk about her style instead of her clothes. Her combinations often imply large shirts and thin neckties. Actually, her hair is her most rebellious punk style feature. Long and dark, with specific fringes. Also, she rarely wears makeup. Her overall appearance is absolutely bohemian and artistic. Even though she looks like she doesn’t pay a lot of attention to her image, she has managed to become a kind of punk fashion icon.

3. Ramones
This band had many members, but the change of the members has never changed the band’s image. Their style is actually a little bit different from the “regular” punk appearance and they look more like rock stars. Their specifically shaped black hair with fringes gives special charm to their not so specific clothing style, usually consisted of jeans and black leather jackets. As for the details, Ramones were mostly into the leather bracelets. You can check out something similar right here.

4. Avril Lavigne
Hardcore punk style lovers often deny Avril’s significance for the music, but when it comes to the spreading of punk clothing style among the youngest people, her contribution is undoubted. Her style can easiest be described as skate punk, but that’s not all. There are many features unique for her style, such as checked materials, long striped socks, skeletons printed everywhere, crazy colors in hair and, of course, the unusual neckties. You can find some awesome punk ties right on these pages.

Punk Prejudice – Beating the stereotype

Punk Prejudice exists, and the world of punk music and fashion is no exception. Punk Prejudices made life as a wild-child that much harder. But why?

Every good, strong phenomenon and its style usually has a large veil of steady rumors, widespread views which are often very negative and shallow or superficial labels. Well, most of those aren’t true and they make an artificial constructed darkness around the wonderful world of eternal fashion and unique music, which strongly inspires our collections presented here. When we talk about punk music and culture, it’s hard to avoid all the hard and dark charges. People are easy on delusions when it comes to punk music and fashion. To set loose those ugly myths, we bring you a list of most popular Punk Prejudice and some of the many counter-arguments.

Punk fashion is extremely dark. This punk prejudice is WRONG! It is dark, but not extremely. Actually, colorful details are very common among punk lovers, as you can make sure in this special category. Hair dyed in bright red, green or even pink is also frequent. And not to mention the tartan cloth and other crazy colored combinations. Since punk originates from social dissatisfaction and some dark moods, a little bit of darkness is necessary. But if music was in colors, the vigorous punk chords would be a hard rocking rainbow.

Punk artists and fans are drunks and druggies. That’s a hard one and very, very WRONG one. Drug and alcohol abuse status has nothing to do with the music or fashion style. This punk prejudice linking some addicting vice to a certain style and music is just a superficial labeling. Maybe some of the punk stars did end up their lives thanks to the drugs, but it’s not a general rule. Listening to a certain kind of music and wearing certain clothes is not enough to ruin your life with drugs, so blaming punk for it is simply mindless.

Punk prejudice: punkers are uneducated bums. Well, when it comes to the education, some of the punk musicians are ready to break the regular oppinion that punkers are stupid. Dexter Holland, the lead singer of The Offspring has and M.S. in molecular biology. Also, Greg Graffin, the lead singer of Bad Religion, actually has a Ph.D. and he was a teacher at the University of California. He is also a straight edge. So, I guess that’s settled then.

Punk lovers are aggressive. This punk prejudice is definitely WRONG. Actually, punk lovers usually expel the excess of energy trough the music or jumping around on the shows. Yeah, a mess can happen, sometimes they put up a fight – but when you are at a punk show, you probably won’t see the whole audience fighting.

Well, that’s just a part of a big pile of punk prejudices. It all overshadows the punk fashion and when someone wears the awesome punk clothes, he or she often has to confront some offensive looks in public. Many decades after its outbreak, punk still shocks the majority. Well, even though it is sad that it still causes such reactions and prejudices, its provoking abilities are also its biggest power.

Punk Rock style – Fashion and History

When it comes to punk rock, there are no rules. Yet, when it comes to punk fashion, we can abstract some style characteristics mutual for many punk lovers.

Punk rock fashion complements punk music and together they make one of the most important and most awesome alternative subcultures ever. Punk rock began to develop in 70’s in USA and UK. It was created in a response to “overinflated” progressive rock full of long solos and guitar exibitions. This fresh rebellious style has brought a simple rhytm – most of the punk songs have only four chords. It has also brought a lot of pure energy, unique way of seeing things, anarchistic ideas and inspiration for challenging authorities. Sex Pistols are considered to be the first punk band, although it can’t be precisely defined. Let’s say punk has simply happened and it’s a minor question who has started it.

Punk comes in many shapes – as punk rock, surf punk, pop punk, ska punk, skate punk, anarcho punk, punkabilly (or psychobilly) etc. All those music styles have made a certain influence on punk fashion. It is amazing how many of the original basic punk symbols maintained up to nowadays and punkers of today still adore that very same rebellious style.

For example, one of the everlasting characteristics of punk rock is a “must have” crazy hairstyle. Some of the punk rock lovers shave their head completely, while others choose the illustruous “Mohawk” hairstyle. Basically, any wild and rebellious hairstyle is punk hairstyle. Striking and bright hair colors (yes: pink, lime green, blue) are also very popular.

Another favorite fashion flick in punk rock is the leather. Leather jackets, leather skirts, even leather tights. It’s all often decorated with bunch of studs or other meatal details, like chains or even safety pins. There’s a lot of space for experimenting and creativity and the originality is the only thing that matters. For start, you can check out the some accessories from our recent collection.

Of course, there are also tattoos and piercings. Often a lot of those. There’s a long punk tradition of putting these permanent signs and decorations on own body. As they say – tattoos and piercings are like drugs – once you try them, you are addicted. It’s all a part of the punk habit to shock – that’s why punk tattoos and piercings are often found on various unusual body parts. Here’s a wide choice of body jewelry and we hope you’ll find some for yourself.
