What better way to show the love for our favourite band than proudly wearing their shirts everywhere we go? Oh, you are already doing that? I am here to help you spice up the ordinary band t-shirt and skinny jeans combo in the most effortless ways.
The casual crop top and high waisted shorts
For the first look we are trying to keep it more in the confort zone, so we are taking the crop top and the
high waisted shorts that you have worn way too much this summer, paired with some
white Converse. Now, this simple outfit is not enough for your inner fashionista, so add a
crochet bustier in the days when you are feeling a little bit more fancy or a
flannel for those chilly nights (can also be knotted around your waist). The part where everything is going crazy is ACCESSORIES. A chic
fedora, some nice Ozzy style
sunglasses, a
cuff or
arm candy, lots of
rings or even a
body chain, really anything your heart desires.
The girly crop top and skater skirt
Also an outfit featuring everyones favourite basics, we are talking about the girly side of punk rock, for the times you want to look stylish without giving up on your personality. The
Guns'n'Roses crop top that you love so much, together with a maroon (or any colour actually) high waisted
skater skirt and some booties (I am still in love with the
Jeffrey Campbell's Litas). After building the foundation, it's time to add the missing bits and pieces, and there are so many variants to choose from. A
floppy fedora, some dainty
earrings and playful
ruffle socks or a
flower crown, a
statement necklace and a small purse (
Rebecca Minkoff's Mini Mac is bae) are great picks.
Wear it as a dress
Found one of your dad's old t-shirts, you really want to wear it but it's way too big. No problem girl, you just got to cut it's sleeves off and wear it as a dress (but make sure your dad doesn't want it anymore, because that would be unfortunate). Throw some
thigh high socks on, a pair of
combat boots and you are ready to go. If you are not comfortable walking around with just a t-shirt on, add some
lace shorts, and don't forget about the
aviator sunglasses,
choker and
layered necklaces.
The bohemian look
If you were looking for the perfect festival look or the boho vibe just hit you hard search no more, I got you covered. Browse through your closet for a
maxi skirt or a pair of
flowy pants, add some
sandals or
wedges (for some extra inches) and head out the door. However, feel free to experiment:
hats,
backpacks,
necklaces and
bracelets, and let's not forget about the feathers in your hair and
gold (temporary) tattoos.
The sleek look
This one is for my girls who want to look like they spent more time than they actually did, and I don't think it get's easier. Remember the destroyed
boyfriend jeans and white band crop top in the back of your closet? Hop into your nude pumps (that you bought thinking about
these), put on a professional looking
watch and a pop of colour with a orange (or any else you prefer)
bag.
The bussines look
Who said you can't bring some punk to work or school? The key is to mix the comfyness of a tee with some structure, like a patterned
skort (also to add some colour to the classic attire) and a
blazer (as edgy as you want it to be). Don't forget about the perfect
bag to store 'em files, some
flats to run around the campus or chase a cab, and most important, a pair of
glasses (I have them on prescription, so not so much hipster for me) to show your colleagues that you know what you are doing..
Fall(ing) into cardigans
For the cold mornings when you want to keep it as simple as possible, but not look like you were dressing with your eyes closed, here's your salvation. Over the
tank and
leggings that you may or may not have slept in the night before, add a fairly nice
cardigan, to cover your behind (because we all know leggings are not pants), hop in your
ankle boots and put on a pair of big
earrings to take some looks away from your messy hair.
Layering, layering, layering...
The number of items you add to this combo depends only on how cold you are. Starting off with the basic white
tank and black ripped
skinnies, paired with some
platform boots, maybe a
necklace or
sunnies (yes, you can wear them in the fall if you want to). As the temperature goes lower, we start adding a
flannel, a
beanie, a
scarf and a
leather jacket. When it comes to layers, the more, the better.
Daring leopard
The last outfit would have to be my personal attempt to escape the confort zone. Something about the usual
band tank with a lace hem
skirt, paired with
thigh high boots and a leopard print
faux fur coat, even though it reminds me of Cruella Deville and Taylor Momsen at the same time, makes me want to wear this so much. If you think this is too much for daylight, I totally get it, I do too, maybe a night out in town can be a nice opportunity.
In the comments below, tell me how do you usually wear your band tees and which of the outfits here is your favourite.
