Punk style is a huge trend this year but as this trend goes viral I just keep asking myself: can you dress “punk” at work? Yes you can! Keep reading..

Punk hairstyle: This year, punk hairstyles are a huge trend and is been adopted by women of all ages and styles. Responsible for this trend is our favorite Hollywood heroine, Harley Quiin, from the Suicide Squad movie that introduced the punk color hair to an even greater audience in fashion. Intense pink, purple, green and blue color make their appearance this year and has been adopted even by the most stylish fashionistas. The combination of two colors is another big trend. Don’t forget that weirdness is a must this year.

That blonde girl is responsible for everything.

If you are a lawyer, a teacher or a politician try not to overdo it with intense colors. Try some more pale shades.

Grey and pink are big trends this year.

Choose an intense burgundy or purple hue for your lips as these shades this year is a trend for all women, no matter what their style is. For the eyeliner make sure not to overdo it and prefer to highlight your eyes with a slim line.

Punk accessories: Belts with studs and skulls, shoes reminiscent of ancient Greek cothurnus, platforms, booties, earrings in the most odd parts of the face and body are some of the accessories that have been loved from the punk society. Which of these can you wear at work? The minimum!

Belts and shoes can be used in moderation. As for the earrings, don’t wear them in weird body parts if your work is such that requires serious dressing. However you can totally wear plaid details (plaid is a favorite pattern of punk women) and leather.

Tip: Combine 2-3 accessories and not more for your punk work style. The one earring thing is a trend you should totally try!
