She wears a lot of animal prints and bright colours and there’s one particular outfit (shown in the image to the right) worn by Alabama that I’ve always adored and which has been an big inspiration for my own fashion choices.

This outfit brings together punk, retro and casual styles and the colours and patterns seem to compliment each other really well.

So, thanks to True Romance, here’s today’s ‘style profile’. Enjoy!

(Tip: eBay is a great place to find vintage leopard faux fur coats but you may find there’s a lot of competition for vintage coats so be prepared to bid, bid, bid or just buy new)

Under the coat, a plain blue hoodie (hooded jacket/sweater), either a full pullover or a zip-up…

Then some blue denim jeans turned up at the bottom. There’s always a wide variety of jeans styles to choose from so go with your preference, but Alabama seems to be wearing a more relaxed fit (loose but not baggy).

And top it off (or should that be bottom it off?) with some classic plain black Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High Tops!

Today’s style profile starts with this classic faux leather jacket, preferably in black (because if the rest of the outfit is black, that lets the striped skirt below become the focus of attention)

And the shoes is really your choice (whatever works best for you, personally I love to wear Converse with pencil skirts) but thanks to the lady I saw this morning that was the inspiration for today’s style profile outfit – how about some cool, understated but attractive plain black suede heels:

Punk tartan trousers, outfit ideas!

As I said earlier, punk tartan trousers tend to look best with a plain top so the tartan can be the main focus of the outfit and you’re not overdoing the patterns.

I suggest wearing your tartan trousers with a plain jumper or t-shirt/vest (plain black is best) for a minimal punk look.

Tartan trousers look cool with heels, boots, converse, creepers – so many different styles of shoes will work with these.
