How to Create Outfits for Any Age With Touches of Punk Futurism Now

How Women of Any Age Can Use Touches of Punk Futurism Now

Here are some ways to add a little punk to your look. The key is restraint. Pick only one or two of the following suggestions.

1. Don’t overdo it; you can start with an accessory or you can just add one or two punk touches to your usual look (to be a little rebellious or to show more of your true self.)
2. Layer black.
3. Add a pop of color to an all-black outfit. Think neon colors such as blues, pinks, yellows, oranges, greens. Silver and red are also good choices.
4. Wear different textures…or one piece that’s made of different textures.
5. Wear a plaid or neutral-colored button-down shirt. Plaids can be incorporated into your outfit in any way:  toppers, bottoms, scarves, etc.
6. If you have a t-shirt from one of your favorite bands, wear it alone or under a shirt or jacket. Or wear a tee with your favorite political slogan.
7. Wear something in an animal print:  a top, bottom, topper, footwear, belt, scarf, etc.
8. Try wearing distressed jeans, but not overly destroyed. Go for skinny jeans or boyfriend jeans. Wide-leg or baggy jeans are good.
9. Try a faux leather skirt. It doesn’t have to be too short. You might like a pencil and/or midi style.
10. Accessorize with a studded belt, chains, a skull pendant, a hat or safety pins.

    

11. For footwear, try Vans or Converse sneakers or chunky boots. Biker boots or combat boots work well, especially with buckles or studs. But any boots will do, short or tall. You could also try platform footwear.
12. Have fun with your hairdo. You can do a spiky pixie cut or add a few red or blue streaks.
13. Wear a dark color nail polish or silver or glitter.
14. Defined eye makeup and a red or darker lipstick helps to keep the look youthful and vibrant. Or, wear a glitter lipstick over or alone.
15. Throw in glitter, tattoos or rubber bracelets.

Outfit Ideas for Punk Futurism Now

These outfit combinations are really true to the punk idea. You don’t have to follow them exactly. Just use them loosely as inspiration and substitute whatever you have or what you like better. For punk futurism now, you can easily substitute silver for gray or black.

1. Think biker chic, such as a beat-up leather jacket over a faux leather vest or top.
2. A favorite concert t-shirt with distressed jeans and boots, short or tall.
