If You Were Styling Three Pairs of Punk Sunglasses, What Would You Do?

It is possible that this will sound ridiculous, possibly make you roll your eyes or even attempt to shut your computer screen until you realize it is not a laptop and clicking “sleep” frankly won’t produce the affect that slamming the screen down would, but one of the most trying challenges I have accepted as a writer who calls herself O.K. at self styling is taking three pairs of sunglasses, matching them to three different outfits from my personal arsenal and then calling them, “punk.”

Cause of challenge? The now-departed London Fashion Week, where the British Fashion Council partnered with Sunglass Hut to have attendees punk shit up. (I just cursed because that seemed like an anarchist thing to do).

What you’ll see in the above slideshow are three takes on the above, all taken across the pond and featuring a makeshift septum piercing. Let me break it down.

Exhibit A features a Peter Pilotto mini dress, which, granted, you likely would not select as a choice example of that which is punk but in trying to be punk about the concept of punk, I figured turning it on its head with this effeminate dress was appropriate. The velvet sandals are Dries Van Noten and fiercely (no other descriptive adjective will do it) comfortable. The leather jacket (there it is!) is by Veda, and if you want to talk about the refrigerator that I’m sitting on in slide 2, I’m willing to have that conversation. Holler at me you know where. (The comments section, Becky!)

Exhibit B is perhaps a bit more literal what with its lack of color and genuine interest in looking vaguely like a French Vogue editor as evidenced by my pairing black jeans (by Golden Goose, scored on Yoox and featuring exactly zero stretch) with a white blouse (Comme des Garçons, prairie-maid edition) and suspenders (It’s a Steve! It’s an Urkel! Nope, that’s just a girl with muffin top hair). The shoes are Steiger and can you see the septum piercing? LMK.

Finally, we reach exhibit C, where the pants look like ski-wear, shearling is just a hem-accent and saddle (slash golf) shoes are the perfect second-act in a musical called: Neck Scarf: a Journey From Exposed to Covered. The punkest element of this look has got to be my FUPA, no?

Yes.

Now, most importantly, I summon you to explain what you would or would not change about the above looks. Thx.
