London Calling: Punk Style A/W 2013

 

Punk and Grunge dominated the A/W 2013 catwalks and on a recent trip to the London I could definitely see the trend filtering down to the high street.  Nobody does Autumn/Winter style like London, from classic trench coats to woolly tartans, we Brits remain predictably stylish in the not so predictable weather.

Take inspiration from the trends of the late 70s and punk it up. Don't be afraid to leave your style comfort zone and make a statement.  When it comes to punk and grunge more is more so combine leather boots with infinite buckles and everything tartan.
