Get The Look
Baroque Chick
Remember the 80's new romantic look? Well it's back and this time it mixes in-your-face punk touches with flamboyant dandy details for a look that's pure Baroque...
Have you got the attitude to carry off the latest Baroque look? Put the pretty pastels on hold and strut your stuff in a look that combines flamboyant 80's new romantic with 60's punk rebel. This time around though, rock chick goes renaissance with elaborate medieval detailing such as ribbons, lace, ruffles, puffed sleeves, rosettes and stone-encrusted jewellery.
Take your skinny jeans or leggings as a rock chick staple and wear with dandy highwayman-style ankle boots and a blousy tunic nipped in at the waist with a wide, buckled belt. Or work the King's Rd punk look with a super-short tartan mini worn over your favourite ripped denims, a military style jacket and gothic black jet beads.
