What Is Punk Fashion?

The 1970s were a strange and progressive time for fashion. It was the rise of disco fashion that was popular throughout the mainstream. Seemingly symbolizing glamour and excess, it wasn’t surprising that a new type of fashion trend emerged that seemed to be the antithesis of disco fashion: the punk fashion. Disco fashion was reflective of excessively enjoying your life, whereas punk fashion drew its inspiration from a source of anger.  Punk fashion was considered to be arty, underground, and weird. However, strangely enough, punk fashion is now far more influential in current fashion than disco fashion, and dare we say, even more mainstream.

It is important to remember that there are so many different subcultures of punk fashion that have their own different fashion rules. For example, early punk fashion was strongly defined by the designs of Vivienne Westwood. An amalgamation of mod and greaser fashion styles, early punk fashion was truly confrontational, although also a bit flaky.  More popular punk fashion includes what is known as gothic punk fashion. Gothic punk fashion traditionally involves wearing baggy or torn jeans. Additionally, hooded sweatshirts or hoodies that include some kind of logo is practically a uniform in gothic punk fashion. 
Punk fashion has influenced the fashion world since the 1970s. Till now, it has becomes one of the most popular clothing fashion all over the world. With its innovative designs and stylish looks, it’s easy to see why punk fashion has succeeded for all of these years!
