Dressing out of the box
It’s easier to dress out of the box with an arsenal of goods that channel a kind of rebel spirit. T-shirts silk-screened with naughty taglines, Goth imagery (like skulls) and Ska-inspired clothing are just a few of the styles fashion rebels enjoy. Take a gander at a few of the stores that live to dress you differently.
People Are People
This hipster joint is a trend follower’s wet dream. The retailer is known for stocking some of the hippest styles in the metro — long, fitted tees, floral frocks, punk-inspired tops and some denim pants in a range of washes.
The store’s footwear is particularly up-to-date. Aside from Camper, the trendy boutique has a wide range of colorful shoes, including slick patent pumps, resin wedges and bright thongs.
Von Dutch
A shopping haunt of rockers and their ilk, Von Dutch has capitalized on the trucker hat craze with their line of colorful toppers. Silk-screened tees and tanks, deconstructed denim and skater-styled footwear are the store’s signature pieces.
Fiorucci
Kitsch finally has a home. Fiorucci finds include shirts covered with the label’s signature emblem, two angels, mixed with fabrics like pink plaid or red velvet. Heart-covered accessories are another must-have, while chunky footwear (like adorable wedges and gold sneaks) add dazzle to anyone’s wardrobe.
G3
Basics get an update, thanks to G3’s selection of tunics, halter tops and empire blouses in bright and moody hues. Funky footwear is also available, including baroque-inspired pieces that wouldn’t look out of place in a turn-of-the-century manse.
