Add some rock n' roll to your life

I remember writing some months ago about how plaid reminded me of the very talented Kurt Cobain (RIP). Inspired on the "channeling" idea, I've prepared this post to discuss about how some old rock n roll items are still being worn today making average outfits more interesting.


-------------------------

Some days ago, Kat from She's in Vogue wrote about how important is to have a striped t-shirt. I was not surprised to read that some people considered it even a basic in their wardrobes. It's not like "the 80s are not back", because they were always here, and the classic striped tee is a proof of that.

-------------------------

Ripped jeans. It's not like "ohmygod they're back", but we don't have to follow fashion exactly like magazines and E! news tell us, right?. No, no. Here you have some pictures of how Ashley Olsen and Vanessa Hudgens managed to look great with ripped jeans.


-------------------------

Jim Morrison, leader of The doors, another of my favurite bands, was popular for wearing these, that's right, leathr pants were huge in the 70s. But now, I really can't picture myself on them. As leather pants are pretty difficult to pull off, designers around the world came up with a more up-to-date version of leather trousers: spandex lamé leggings.

Kate Moss, MK Olsen & Ashley Olsen

-------------------------

The popular Axel Rose look. I've tried this look many times (perfect for concerts). It's very cool and easy to do and it doesn't matter how boring is your outfit, a headband like this will make everything look much more fun.

Love rocker chic, especially the headband. I do that all the time too, whenever it's a bad hair day, the bandana/hairband turns it around.

Hanna dijo...

Great post, loving every bit of it! Rock'n'roll is my favourite style in fashion - it's much more than the ripped jeans and stripy shirts - it's the spirit. I think it will always stay on the top of style because those rock'n'roll clothes have so much attitude. Loving your blog by the way!

Wendy dijo...

I think striped shirts should be a vital staple in everyone's wardrobe!

As corny as it sounds, Rock and Roll is here to stay.
