Spring 2011 Runway Trend: English Punk

Designers from Balenciaga to Versus embraced their inner bad boy with runway looks chock-full of leather, studs, colorful plaid and a whole lot of attitude. To get just the right amount of edge in your spring ensemble, mix and match some rock n' roll key pieces with your old wardrobe standbys. Try pairing a tough tartan skirt with a floaty floral top, throw on a leather jacket over a crinkled pastel dress, or pair sleek and shiny cropped pants with a simple monochromatic tank top. Punk is no longer about painting it black, so aim for a great mix of colors and textures and you'll be the coolest rebel around.
