THE RUNAWAYS MOVIE: GET INSPIRED BY ROCKER CHICK STYLE

In honor of the new release of the film The Runaways, a rock biopic starring Kristen Stewart as the band’s trend-setting lead singer Joan Jett, we thought we would put our own spin on outfits inspired by our favorite rocker chicks. Starting with the “Crimson and Clover” rocker herself, see who else we deemed some of the most fashionable ladies behind the mic. Time to break out those combat boots!

 

2. Stevie Nicks

As the voice behind the group Fleetwood Mac, Nicks’ style represents the free-spirited essence of  the late 60’s and 70’s – when the band was at its peak. Think flowing chiffon, velvets, lace, and romantic, albeit gypsy-inspired silhouettes. We borrowed her love for long, loose skirts, beautifully draped tops, and slightly gothic jewelry, but made sure you can rock the look without inspiring any Wiccan associations.

7. Janis Joplin

Although 60’s singer-songwriter Janis Joplin died before the world was ready to let her go, her music and style will undoubtedly stay eternal. Joplin embodied the essence of laid back hippie style – flowing blouses, fringed vests, circular framed glasses, and, of course, bell bottoms. We riffed on her boho ideals by incorporating a flared jean, feather vest, and earthy accessories.

9. Patti Smith

Patti Smith is one of those icons that just oozes effortless cool. Not only was she a huge leader of the mid-70’s punk rock movement, but she also established herself as a poet and photographer. Did we mention that her style is effortlessly cool? Make like Smith and don a no-nonsense bowler hat, slouchy tee, and maybe even a pair of suspenders – if you’re feeling extra non-conforming.
