BandraRoad’s 6 Must-Haves For The Rocker Street Style Look

Today on BandraRoad, we’re giving you a taste of the raw Street Life. There are no rules, except that the rules are meant to be broken. We’re talking Rock ‘N’ Rock and these are the 5 things you definitely need to get your rocker vibe on. So check it out!

1. The vintage tee

It could be an old concert promo tee or something found at a thrift store. It’s not just a tee. It’s a piece of history that you own. You could take things a step further by personalizing your rocker tee. Try these DIYs to bring new life into your tees.

2. Denims

Take your pick from the torn, faded, studded, dyed or acid-washed denims, like all your cool rockstars. Get ’em in jeans, jackets, shorts or shirts. Faded, raw denims are a must; if you want to nail the rocker street look. We have the Dope On Denim. You can read all about it here and here.

3. JAckets

You ain’t a bad-ass rocker till you get yourself a dope jacket or two. You could get it in denim and leather. Make sure you add some studs for that punk vibe.

4. Flannel

Even high fashion designers like Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier took inspiration from the grunge rock flannel shirt. It’s a street cool staple and hence, flannel (or plaid) is in our must-have list for the rocker street-style.
