I think secretly, deep
down everyone has a rock chick side just waiting to jump out (air guitar is
totally optional). I'm not a huge lover of being massively girly with my style so
I do tend to stay away from things that are too twee, and the whole avenue of
'Granny chic' style. Indie/Rock inspired style is never really off the trend
radar, so don't be afraid to experiment.
The best way to achieve an instant rock chick look is lots of
eyeliner, paired with a band t-shirt. I love band t-shirts. I currently own 3
(and counting). If anyone is particularly interested, they are The Rolling
Stones, Guns N' Roses and Goldfrapp. The only rule I have for band t-shirts is
that I only buy t-shirts of bands I actually do like. Otherwise you just run
the risk of looking like a desperate fashsionista. I can recall a conversation
I had with a random girl on a night out who couldn't name a single Stones
track, yet she had those famous lips splashed across her chest. I just found it
a bit weird.
Once again, I've done the shopping so you don't have to ;-) So, here are my 5 favourite tee's straight from the internet:
Run DMC Tee - truffleshufffle.com - £24.99
Run DMC, the legendary hip hop outfit of the 80's. Consisting of Joseph "Run" Simmons, Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels, and Jason "Jam Master Jay"
Mizell. The logo is the bands original, so wear
with some high top trainers to pay homage to the original pioneers of
hip hop, ghetto style.
Pink
Floyd Tee - Amplified clothing - £24.99
'The Dark Side of the Moon' is Pink Floyd's 8th studio album, and
the iconic image you see on the tee is the albums artwork. Wear with a flowery
headband and a long floaty skirt, reminiscent of 60's and 70's hippy
trippy style.
Rolling Stones Tee -
truffleshuffle.com - £29.99
This 1978 US tour Stones tee is slightly different to the standard
'lips' ones. This one details dates of their 1978 tour, a definite fan
favourite. Wear with red lipstick, and a cheeky smile.
Blondie Tee -
truffleshuffle.com - £34.99
‘Call Me’ is obviously one of Blondie's most popular songs. The
fact that this is a pink shirt and not the usual black backgrounds we see on
most band tee's means it's a little more girly. Perfect for those who aren't ready
to be too edgy. Wear with a bouncy blow dry to emulate Debbie Harry herself.
Guns N' Roses Tee -
truffleshuffle.com - £19.99
The classic Guns N' Roses logo has been given a summery twist with
this strappy tee. Perfect for summer rock gigs/festivals/Saturday afternoon in
the pub. Just don't wear with massively curly hair, or you may look more like
Slash than you think ;-)
