Punk pop is a sub-genre of punk and pop, which associates the rebellious spirit of punk with the cheerful and catchy sound of pop. Both the style and the sound have specific characteristics, which early-stage fans adopt to show off the right clothing at punk pop concerts and to go out with friends who are passionate about the genre. You can create yourself a punk pop look to wear during the day to school or work and a variation to show off in the evening at a concert or in a club. It is a rather androgynous style: the boys wear eyeliner and the girls wear crested hairstyles.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Getting dressed for the day
Step 1. Wear a t-shirt with the logo of your favorite punk pop group
Whenever you go to a punk pop concert, buy a t-shirt with the band's logo and wear it proudly with a pair of jeans when you go to school or work. A collection of t-shirts from bands, old and new, can be a key element of your punk pop wardrobe.
For a vintage touch, you can opt for a t-shirt with the logo of a band from the 90s, like Blink 182 or Sum 41. You can go even further and get yourself a t-shirt from the Ramones or the Undertones, two bands that have had great influence on the punk scene of the eighties
Step 2. Get a plaid shirt or a neutral color
Plaid prints are all the rage in the pop punk world, especially for jackets and shirts. The ideal is a red-black or white-black tartan print.
- For a more classic daytime look, you can wear a shirt in a neutral color, especially if you pair it with skinny jeans.
- Camouflage fabric is also very popular, especially with t-shirts and shirts.
Step 3. Choose skinny or boyfriend fit jeans
Fans of the punk pop genre tend to wear tight jeans in black or dark blue, or "boyfriend fit" jeans, a model a little wider at the crotch.
Jeans are ideal for everyday wear, because they match perfectly with a t-shirt or shirt. They are also comfortable to wear and wash
Step 4. For shoes, opt for a pair of sneakers
The shoes that are in fashion among the pop punks are almost exclusively sneakers, especially Converse and Adidas. Choose a pair of low tops to match a t-shirt with a band logo and a pair of skinny jeans, or choose them high and wear them with a shirt and a denim skirt or Bermuda shorts.
For variation, you can wear a pair of black or brown combat boots
Step 5. Add a splash of color to an all black look
Punk pops greatly prefer full black, for example black leggings and t-shirt, or black skirt and top. If you want, you can add a splash of color, such as a hot pink tie or a pair of brightly colored socks, which will keep your punk pop look intact.
Step 6. Pair some accessories, such as a piece of jewelry or a hat
Wear a choker or earrings for a touch of originality and elegance, or wear a wool or baseball cap to emphasize a casual daytime look.
There are many punk pop musicians who have piercings, especially in the ear, and tattoos, especially on the arms. Keep in mind that they are semi-permanent, so you may want to think carefully before doing them - removing them can be complicated and quite painful
Part 2 of 3: Getting Dressed for the Evening
Step 1. Pair a plaid shirt with a black tulle skirt
Liven up a simple plaid shirt with a fancy black tulle skirt. As a finishing touch, put on a pair of black tights with a pair of combat boots or Converse.
This is the perfect outfit to go to a punk pop concert or to hang out with friends in the evening. To show that you are a fan of the band playing, you can put a shirt with their logo under the plaid shirt
Step 2. Wear a shirt with booties
For a more elegant look, pair a nice shirt with black jeans and black or brown ankle boots, preferably leather.
A nice watch is enough as a finishing touch, especially if you have tattoos or piercings, which already serve as decorative accessories
Step 3. Try a black lace dress with a denim jacket
Combining a chic garment, such as a long black lace dress, with a more casual garment like a denim jacket, can be an original and fun solution for an evening out.
For a personalized look, add a few pins from your favorite pop punk bands to put on your jacket
Part 3 of 3: Styling and Makeup
Step 1. Put on black eyeliner
Emphasize the more authentically punk look and put on a dark eyeliner (black or deep purple). It may take some time to learn how to apply eyeliner correctly, but with patience, practicing in front of the mirror, you will see that you will be able to master the technique.
For the rest, apart from the black eyeliner, eye makeup is truly essential. Optionally, you can add dark eyeshadow or black mascara
Step 2. Try a dark lipstick
Put on a dark purple or even black lipstick. The rest of the makeup must remain essential: stick to a little foundation so that your face doesn't look too dark.
Step 3. Go for a smooth crease
If you already have straight hair, it will be a breeze. On the other hand, if you have moved them, you can give them a pass of the plate and do the parting in the middle, for a look in perfect Avril Lavigne style.
Step 4. Get the crest.
Style your hair in a punk pop style with a nice crest, helping you with a little gel. The crest is popular with punks and the crested hairstyle is the punk pop variant.
Step 5. Dye your hair a vibrant and original color
In the world of punk pop, a wild, shocking pink, bright red, bright green or dark purple hair is perfectly acceptable. Make streaks of various colors, or dye all of your hair a single bright color.
