Teens, trying to express their originality and protest to society, often adjoin different subcultures, the appearance of which is closely connected with new trends in music.
Style as a way of life
The style that will be discussed today has replaced the hippie generation, who dreamed of peace and love throughout the world. A new informal movement was associated with two music groups living and playing by their own rules - Sex Pistols and Ramones.
But it was not just a style. Punks who deny power and existing laws, compared with other cultures, differed quite vulgar behavior. The anti-social way of life of the youth movement led protesters against the existing order of adolescents.
Invented Image
If we talk about the shocking musical groups that appeared in England, then the father of the punk movement is considered to be the manager of the group Sex Pistols M. McLaren, who came up with such a scandalous name.
But the mother is recognized as a famous hooligan in the fashion world and British designer W. Westwood, who invented a new style in clothing. Punks from the most liberated group in the entire musical history, whose rebellious image was invented by Vivien, shocked the conservative society with torn clothes, t-shirts with scandalous inscriptions, leather jackets with many rivets.
Provocations and outrageous
So, with the light hand of the designer, who emphasized the unusual nature of things, punk paraphernalia went "to the people." T-shirts with torn sleeves, spiked accessories - all this was a novelty in the fashion world, which was used by teenagers who dreamed of provocations. But not only clothes touched the scandalous style. Punks are also hairstyles that attract attention. Painted in the most evocative and vibrant colors, “hedgehogs” and “Iroquois” demanded special audacity and courage.
Protest against society
Hooligan fashion in the punk style, which burst rapidly in the 70s of the last century, vehemently protested all the rules of society. Young people, dressed in such a way as to emphasize their independence and desire for personal freedom, stood out with outfits that were not customary to wear in a decent society.
In other words, it was an antimode followed by free-spirited punks.
Fashionable trends
By the way, now it is subdivided into several fashion trends, which once became an independent rebellious style. Punks do not impose clear restrictions on clothing, but each trend has its own rules.
Crust punk
For example, the crust punk that appeared suggests wearing camouflage clothing, leaky leather vests, T-shirts with the names of musical groups. And if we talk about hairstyles, then adherents of this style choose matted dreadlocks.
Horror punk
Horror punk is a special combination of hooliganism with a subculture ready. Pale faces, black long clothes with depicted skulls and necessarily make-up emphasizing the gloom of the image.
Glam punk
Glam punk, who takes ideas from a glamorous style, brings clothes or hairstyles to complete absurdity. Blond hair is whitened almost to gray hair, and femininity turns into deliberate sexuality, balancing on the verge of vulgarity.
Steampunk
The latest fashion movement, which originally originated in the world of science fiction, is a Victorian era stylization . Steampunk is leather corsets with rivets, perforated hats, lace skirts, unusual accessories that emphasize retro direction.
Punk rock style in clothes.
This style conquers fashion catwalks, and its brightest representative is Vivienne Westwood, who is dressed the way she lives. Its main difference lies in the seemingly ill-conceived image.
A black jacket, complemented by a turtleneck, or a feminine tutu skirt, worn with men's shoes - everything should look shocking and expressive. This is an ideal option, in which it is easy to play on the contrast between brutality and tenderness, selecting various elements of the wardrobe. The sloppy style, characterized by complete freedom of choice of clothing, gives many advantages to those who find themselves in this direction.
Fashionable items in the form of studded leather bags or old cut t-shirts will create an unusual look. A style in which you can experiment makes it easy to stand out from the crowd.
Punk style
Modern punk style for girls is deprived of the previous aggressiveness. Fashion designers offer to forget the stereotype that it suits only rebels. Today, not only leather jackets with rivets and skulls are popular, which are easily mixed with feminine dresses or skirts. Suede parka jackets are stylish in combination with shorts and fitted pants.
According to fashion designers, sweaters of the most unusual forms, suitable for a punk subculture, rule the ball. And unusual sweatshirts with inscriptions emphasize the tenderness of the image and freedom of expression.
Main trends
You can not ignore the ripped jeans, which have become a trendy thing in any season. Adherents of punk style do not combine them with boats, but with men's lace-up boots. And of course, leather skirts set the tone. They can be long and ultrashort, with or without fringe, and, as all designers believe, they are the ones who are experiencing a rebirth. And if you pick up leather shoes with thick soles to a narrow skirt, then this will be the final chord in the incredibly popular punk style.
Grunge - no rules
For the first time, designer Marc Jacobs demonstrated on the catwalk, inspired by the work of Kurt Cobain from Nirvana, his collections of the new movement, called grunge. Punk style aroused contempt among famous fashion houses, but the popularity of this trend speaks for itself.
One of the most provocative currents allows you to look incredibly messy and at the same time fashionable. It is recommended to buy things in this style in second-hand and several sizes larger, as if it were the clothes of older brothers or sisters.
Elongated T-shirts or faded T-shirts, worn pants and outerwear from someone else's shoulder give a certain charm to the grunge style image . The layering of things that do not fit together is popular. This direction implies the absence of any fashionable rules.
Technogenic romance steampunk
It is worth noting that punk style is developing not only in music and fashion. In the interior of the room you can realize the most daring and original creative ideas.
Most often, designers decorate the interior with elements in the steampunk style, which allows you to replace the usual things with the most bizarre. The aesthetics of good old England, which at the same time have the features of futurism, help the interior find the final touch necessary to complete an unusual image. Designers even call the special color "technological romance."
The provocative style, which has become an independent course, deserves respect and love. Constantly evolving, he once protested against all the rules of society, and now a new philosophy teaches us to find balance and respect the laws created by other generations.
