Wear It Out: the best bits of a grunge look, styled to perfection

Sara Byrne is the manager of Style Club on North Earl Street in Dublin 1. If you go anywhere this summer for your festival hair styles, Style Club is the only choice. Also make sure to check out Instagram for hair inspiration. Curated by Sarah, this account is definitely one to follow. Sara’s style is always the best bits of a grunge look styled to perfection. She is eternally in black like most of us and her weekend look is casual but suitable for day and night. She balances a mix of vintage finds with well-fitted pieces.

Jacket: There are a lot of things that should stay in the 1980s: leg warmers, neon sweatbands, mullets . . . but this style of leather jacket is definitely not one of them. The big shoulder pads mean you need to keep the rest of your look nice and fitted. Get the look right and you will be rocking around like Kelly Kapowski without a care in the world! EBay is a great place to hunt for these beauties. ebay.com €60-€80

Top: American apparel does great basics. They might be pricy but it always has what you need. To get that form-fitting look, it is the best place to go. It has items in every size andevery colour. This body really reminds me of an ice-skater which makes it amazing. Crushed velvet is just so fab. Shiny velvet long sleeve onesie, americanapparel.net €60

Bag: The bucket drawstring bag is perfect for the summer. It can serve as a back pack and a handbag at the same time. Great for summer weekend adventures as they are bigger than they appear. They could even hold a few sneaky cans . . . Baggu bucket drawstring bag, Urban Outfitters urbanoutfitters.com €100

Shoes: Public Desire is making it hard for me to buy shoes anywhere else. The prices are low, the shipping fast and the shoes always look exactly like they do in the picture (often a fear when buying online). From heels to thigh-high boots, it has the styles we all desire(pardon the pun). Aria black ankle boots, publicdesire.com €28
