Edgy wardrobes are sexy, free, badass, and just a little unexpected. Gone are the days of baggy, frumpy grunge costumes or ghoulish caked-on Gothic makeup. Nowadays, fashionistas who like to wear a rock-and-roll aesthetic mix fresh faces with one dramatic feature, then mash up cropped band tees and oversized denim jackets with skin-tight pants and chunky ankle boots.
One of my favorite modern rocker fashion idols is Gigi Hadid. I love how she wears wears rips, studs, spikes, and leather, but balances it out with athletic wear for a modern feel. Rihanna is another example – the way she mixes street chic staples with edgy pieces is totally inspiring. You can also look to Cara Delevingne to nail the edgy-yet-modern vibe every time.
You know the drill — let’s get right to the edgy style list!

Edgy outfits look amazing when paired with studded, grommet, or chain detailed accessories. Stock up and switch these out to edge up any outfit.
Every girl needs both knee-high and ankle boots in their closet, but a chain-embellished pair of boots will do wonders for giving your wardrobe an edgy vibe. Similarly, we love the look of a belt with subtle studded details to edge up any t-shirt and jeans look you can dream up. And you can’t go wrong with a studded bag for rocker vibes.
Wear studded boots with black leggings, a loose-fitting tee, and an oversized, distressed cardigan or (#15) denim jacket.
Roughen up a dainty dress with a pair of chain detailed boots and a (#13) rock-chic hat.
Wear a grommet belt with a pair of (#3) destroyed wide-leg jeans, a (#7) crop top, and some fishnet tights layered under the jeans. Finish with (#8) combat boots and an edgy ring or other cool (#9) jewelry.
