Punk leather jackets

When we think of Punk clothes are minds drift off to thoughts of denim, punk leather jackets, chains, studs and offensive punk t shirts. 

We can congratulate punk bands like The New York Dolls, The Stooges, London's Sex Pistols and The Clash for taking the hugely popular punk clothing style to the hordes of fans around the world, but we can't discuss Punk clothes without giving credit to the man and woman behind the Sex Pistols. 

Punk Clothing wouldn't be as we know it today, if it wasn't for those two famous punk rock designers famous for opening their Kings Road boutique store "SEX" over thirty years ago.

You can sleep easy knowing that punk rock clothing has stamped its place firmly in the history books. Punk fashion is definitely a trendy style of cosmetics, jewelry, hair and clothing. The punks also have modifications to the body. The clothing of the punks is used as a stand out statement in their subculture. The styles they used then to recently differ considerably and today's punks just have a basic punk look.

Blazers and punk leather jackets were common then and are still part of the punk dress. Bondage is also very popular in the punk fashion. Body piercings and safety pins are a common site among punks worn by both sexes.

The punks and punk fashion is fascinating to see, especially if you have never seen this before. If you are into punk clothing is going to be the type of clothing that will fit your style. From designers like Vivienne Westwood, who helped to influence the punk fashion at the time? Such as famous punk icons, like the Ramones. About ten years later, the punk scene became revolutionized. 

Plaid skirts, tatter jeans, and heavy chains began to adorn the bodies of punks around the world. Punk clothing uses a look that includes what some people feel is a sexy, sleek, and wild look. Punk clothing is based on the use of tight corsets, tight clothing, leathers, the look of chains and an overall style that is different from many other types of designers and styles that are available.

For better or worse, many young people identify with the tragic lives of Sid and Nancy. Sid Vicious was 21 when he died; Nancy Spungen was 20. For all the over-commercialization of punk fashion and the alienated sneer, Nancy Spungen and Sid Vicious still look...well...vicious. Sid and Nancy have become more myth than fact. To others, Nancy Spungen is a Yoko Ono for the punk rock movement or "Nauseating Nancy" as she was then called. Neither Sid nor Nancy is unique in that respect. The image of punk was already on the decline. If punk was a joke, it wasn't a very funny one. The punk leather jackets has become an essential accessory for any mild nonconformist. Sid and Nancy are still relevant today.
