How to Look Like a Punk Perfect Preteen Girl

With the rise of stars such as Avril Lavigne, Gwen Stephani and Kelly Osbourne it is no surprise that their fashionable punk style is rubbing off on girls across America. If you are looking to get that perfect bad-girl punk look, look no further. A few steps will get you on your way.

Instructions

1. Get the perfect punk haircut. If you choose a short haircut, go with a sassy pixie look, with choppy spikes that frame your face. If you choose long, go with dramatic, sharp layers and consider adding highlights to set of the look. To top off your perfect punk hair, try adding a few strands of bright color in the bangs, such as pink, purple or blue.

2. Choose cute punk tops, going for a "skater-girl" look. Avoid excess frill or lace; however, tanks or T-shirts with glitter are perfect. Keep your tops fitted and accessorize with arm warmers, loosely worn men's ties or silk scarves tied around the neck.

3. Select fitted pants in dark colors, choosing low rider or hip hugger styles when possible. Keep your pants simple and then accessorize with large black studded belts, chains hanging from the pockets or large flashy belt buckles.

4. Wear classic punk shoes which include either boots or skater shoes. If going comfy, try a pair of Vans or Sketchers that fit your personal style. For a more dramatic "going out" look, select shiny black boots with big clunky heels.

5. Accessorize. Punk girls love big jewelry, so wear multiple small bracelets or wide arm bands on both wrists. Anklets and chokers can also help to finish your punk look. Keep your earrings simple, such as large silver hoops or large-gauge studs.

6. Do your makeup right. If you care going with the classic black and white punk look, keep your makeup natural and then give it pop with dark red lipstick. If you have added color to your outfit, such as pink, purple or blue, do your lips and eyes to match. Remember, don't overdo the dark eye makeup. Natural is beautiful, so just add enough to enhance your natural beauty.
