Runaways style

From the moment that controversial cast was announced, and pre-production started on The Runaways biopic rocker-chick-chic has been cropping up all over runways, glossies, and wags.

But whether or not you love rock and roll this look can be difficult to pull off when style land mines like unflattering eyeliner and parted-in-the-middle hair abound, so we’ve selected a few of our favorite pieces for fall that allow you to dabble in rocker chic without going full Lita Ford.

DENIM

Despite the on-going obsession with super-tight skinnies we prefer the relaxed slightly seventies inspired flare of these Belle Flares by William Rast. The Jupiter wash, shown here, gives the denim a worn in but not too Whitesnake appeal that works for a rocker chic look, or any other relaxed style, giving them true versatility something you want when dropping $229 on killer pair of jeans.

We love these affordable, layer-friendly tanks from ( Left to right) The gap ( $14)  Silence and Noise for Urban Outfitters ($39) and Banana Republic ($20)

 Leather
