The Punky look is all about layers, mismatched things, and bright colors (sort of like the 80s in general). Find some fun colored clothes and start mixing-and-matching.
Try some of these ideas . . .
- T-shirt over a long sleeved tee with a vest on top (all different bright colors)
- Sweatshirts with bold colors, shapes and squiggle prints
- Jeans with one leg rolled up and a bandana tied around the leg on the other side
- Suspenders
- Skirt with tights (where each leg is a different color)
- Leggings with oversized button shirt with funky prints worn as a dress; use a big belt to accentuate
- Mismatched sneakers or hi-tops with bright colored shoe laces
- Heart shaped button (may be added to vests or suspenders)
- Bandanas rolled up and tied around the leg
- Hair: Brown with bangs and pig tails (with sun-shaped or yellow ponytail holders)
