Fashion

 his is a brief overview of punk/pop-punk fashion.  Fashion has it's place in the punk it was seen as self expression meaning that people decide of how they dressed but how they felt and really dressed the way they want, early Punk fashion was inspired by many different groups. Rude-boys, mods and greaser.

 and many other groups inspired the early punk however as they was no set dress-coded all early punk bands looked different, this in support  the following photos which show some of the early band on the punk scene as you can see they all look different and draw influences for  different place  with each inspired by different movements that came before them while the Ramones have a greaser look, stiff littler fingers seem to dress more similarity to some rock musicians of the time these dress choices can be traced back to the the musical influences of the bands.While as i've stated punk start out with no set dress code studded-leather jackets skinny jeans and safety pin became a staple of any punks wardrobe, excess and over the top haircuts became the norm for punk but again in the 80's it underwent another evolution many adopt the skinhead look which considered of fred perry shirt's braces and doc martins but is must be mentioned not all punk adapted the skinhead look some people put it down to the fact they disagrees with the skinheads political with many being link to the national, front many punk disagree with this or simple didn't care thus keeping the punk look alive, In the nineties and the 00's it again shifted due to the rise of pop-punk. the fashion then became jeans and hoodies and brighter colours also became more present in the period.
