Popular in the 80's up until now, punk clothing had started from English designer, Vivenne Westwood. Rock inspired, it would continually grow and grope its way to teenagers of every generation.
Dressing like a punk is easy. Actually, before it had risen into mainstream, creative people only made their own punk-styled clothing. But when it was sought after by a lot of people, especially teenagers, mass production began.
The main ingredients needed to get the desired look are chains, leather jackets, black eyeliners, and hair dyes.
Chains are designed to hang around the waistline or in leather jackets. These leather jackets are mostly studded of silver with varying designs. Tight leather pants are also paired to these jackets but comfortable black or blue jeans (can be ripped) is alright.
If jackets aren't your thing, leather vests would also give the same effect. Make sure to wear a fitting white shirt inside and roll the sleeves to give a cooler effect. This is suitable for men with good physique as they could show off their arms. Pair these leather tops with fingerless gloves. If you're feeling edgy, do wear shades as well.
Men, like women, wear make-up especially eyeliner. Heavy eyeliner on the lids give a dramatic effect. Also, punks are well known to have several piercings, mostly on the face.
Another important thing back in the 80's in punk style was the hair. It was so important that it became the greater part of the outfit. Punks used hair dyes to color their Mohawks. They bleached, teased, backcombed, and used heavy doses of hair spray to spike their hair up. Their hair dyes varies from orange, green, blue, pink, and several other bright colors.
Adventurous people even streak their hair with several colors at a time.
These styles don't surprise us anymore because we have pretty much grown along with it. Most of us have even tried it, if not all, at least a part. And now it's never late to try these outfits, especially because it's still one of today's cool trends.
