Move over boho-chic, the rocker trend is making waves for fall 2009. Part Joan Jett and part Josie and the Pussycats, this season’s glam-rock look is all about elegance with an edge—think sophisticated, feminine silhouettes with rocker-inspired embellishments like leather, sequins, studs and chains.
How to Wear it...
Don’t overdo it—the key to rocker-chic is moderation. To avoid looking like you just came from a KISS concert, pick one piece of your ensemble as the main focus and keep everything else fairly simple. For example, pair your killer over-the-knee studded boots with skinny leggings, a plain oversized tee and a metallic belt. It’s all about the details, and being creative. Don’t be afraid to juxtapose feminine touches like ruffles and lace with edgier pieces like studded belts, grommets and leather skinny pants.
Alternative recommends: The Blackheart Tee. Wear it with your favorite skinny jeans or a sleek pencil skirt and embellished heels for a glammed-up rock ‘n’ roll vibe that’s sure to turn heads (in a good way).
