Trendspotting: Material World

by Emily Youssef

In honor of the semi-annual New York City Fashion Week—held earlier this month at Bryant Park—we’re taking a closer look at the fashionable stylings of our beloved musicians. As ever, there are all sorts of musically-inspired trends hitting the runway and the street this year, including Afro-punk geek and grunge chic. Plus, if you’ve ever wondered what’s bumping and pulsating as models strut in sync down the catwalk, here are a couple different mixtapes, of sort.

Whether you’re on the hunt for the latest couture, raiding your older sibling’s closet for clothes or just scavenging for freebies punk-rock style at concerts, here are a few tips from the fashionable.

5. Men are just as passionate about shopping as women. Some of them, anyway.

4. When fashion runs in the family, you’re off to an early start.

3. Not money. Not girls. Not guitars. The source of contention in this band? Jeans. Keith wants everyone to go smaller–all the rage!–while Andrew prefers the classic look.

2. We all have those days when we’re just not feeling like ourselves. Amazing Baby reminds us there’s always the helpful onesie. Optional: butt flap.

1. Sure, big bushy beards may be one of the most important mancessories, but it has its pitfalls, too.
