Punk Fashion

As well as the music itself, the fashion of the Punk Rockers is key to the genres overall image. This fashion includes the styles of clothing, hairstyles, cosmetics, jewelry, and body modifications. Punks use their clothing as a way of expressing themselves and making a statement. A typical outfit for Punks in the Early stages would have been: Purposely offensive t-shirts (inverted crucifixes, Nazi swastikas), leather rocker jackets were and are a fixture of Punk fashion.
Footwear included Doc Martens, motorcycle boots and Chuck Taylor All-Stars. Tapered jeans, tight leather pants and pants with leopard patterns were all common choices. The hairstyles were the most impressive and distinguishing feature of a Punk: hair was often dyed bright, unnatural colours. And that isn't the worst hairstyle: Liberty Spikes and Mohawks were extremely popular.



Nowadays, there are many new sub-genres of Punk Rock, and with them they bring a whole new sense of fashion to the genre. For example:

Skate punk: Clothes-open plaid button-down shirts, wristbands, webbed belts, T-shirts, baggy shorts or jeans, and hooded sweatshirts with patches or spraypainted graphics

Brands- Baker, Emerica, Fallen, Spitfire Wheels, Toy Machine, Black Label, Vans, Globe International and Zero.

Completely different from Punk in the 70s, but Punk nonetheless
