Hello dear readers!
Guess what I did today? Yep that’s right, I made style guide just for you! In this issue of the VK style guide I am going to walk you through step by step on how to emulate this look, rocked by Kyo lead singer of the well known band Dir En Grey.
So some of you might be saying, “I like that look, but I don’t have the couple hundred dollars to order such things from the Japanese designers!” Well have no fear! I am on the scene digging through all of my favorite places to shop to find you the best deals for making this style your own, all without breaking the bank!
Okay everybody, lets work our way from the top down!
Lets start with the jacket! Now as you all may know, getting a good studded jacket can be very expensive. But I have found one from Forever21 with studs included on the lapels for the lovely low price of just $47.80. If there still is not enough studs for your liking on the jacket then there is a great site I would recommend to you. It goes by the name of Spikes and Studs. They carry a wide array of spikes, studs, belt bases, and all the tools you will need to do the studding right from your very own home.
Now the jeans were the hard part. It seems that most places in the US have decided to stop carrying leopard print skinny jeans. But thank god, Europe still knows how to style it. One company in particular stood out from all the rest. Dark Side Clothing. When on my quest for these exact skinny jeans just a few months ago I became heart broken at the $200-$300 prices and the lack of them in places like Hot Topic who used to pride its self with its clothing like this. Then I stumbled across this site and ten days later I was wearing my very own pair of leopard print skinny jeans. Dark Sides leopard print skinny jeans sell for £28.99, which translates into approximately 45 US dollars.
And lastly, to complete your look, the white creepers. I was pleasantly surprised to see these shoes were being sold at amazon. Here they are at the low price of $60 with free shipping at handling! These Creepers are seen on many artists in the VK industry and can go a very long way in your wardrobe.
Well now, lets see what our total is. For this VK outfit our total is…$152.80! We managed to keep it under the price of just ONE pair of designer skinny jeans, or one designer leather jacket! Give it a try everyone! I would love to see pictures of your outfits like this, feel free to leave them in the comments or email me: aristocraticzombie@gmail.com. I would love to see everyone’s personal style!
Until next time everyone, this is your fashion insider signing out.
