Pop punk era of the late '90s is making a comeback in fashion and we can’t keep calm! Plaid mini skirts, fingerless gloves, graphic tees, and messy-on-purpose eyeliner - seems to be cropping up a lot among GenZ-ers. The collective dress code is somewhere between the Powerpuff Girls and Bratz dolls. We dug up 10 popular pop punk trends that are back with a bang and here’s how you can get in on it.
Y2K Meets Pop Punk Fashion: Here’s How To Get In On The Action
Pleated Skirt
A must-have for every pop-punker, pleated plaid skirt is back to being cool again. You can work up some of the best street style looks in this eye-catching patterned bottom from Fab Nest.
Studded Flats
Remember Avril Lavigne with a studded belt slung around her hips? You can opt for this metallic studded pair of flats from Happy Toe Box as a nod to your punk predecessors.
Graphic Tees
Don’t have tongue piercing or forearm tattoos? Your next best option is sporting a graphic T-shirt. Artblot has indie designs by some of the most free-spirited artists from around the world.
Tube Socks
Artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Willow Smith and Machine Gun Kelly have really revived statement pop-punk fashion trends with them. Like baggy shorts and tube socks. Check out the quirky ones from Mint & Oak.
Fingerless Gloves
Fingerless gloves is a total standout accessory, not one that is easy to sport unless it’s a proper punk look you are aiming for. These finely knitted soft gloves from H&M would be a good pick, even for warmer weather.
Crop Tops
Have a ton of crop tops already? We bet you wouldn’t be able to resist this puff sleeved denim top by ISU. Basic, smart and versatile, it would be good fun accessorising this one.
Khaki Pants
Camo pants and khakis have been a big part of the 90s grunge fashion. We picked out a basic pair of tracks in olive green from Infinia for you to start your punk look with. Pair with a sassy graphic tee and converse (this is hoping you have a funky hairdo in place already).
