The Heavy Metal Band Shirt
One of the biggest trends of Summer ’16 has been the casual, effortless cool of the vintage band shirt. Beyond just vintage, artists like Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Zayn Malik and more have stylized their tour merch to give a nod to rock tee’s of the past.
Not just for the festival, band shirts are super easy to dress both up or down– and bonus: they look great with a serious case of bedhead. On this day to run errands I paired it with some black jeans, my favorite “crinkled” texture Givenchy bag to emphasize the vintage feel, and some ankle boots. They’re great with shorts and an oversized blazer too, or even as a dress with thigh high boots (go a few sizes up for this).
On my lips I’m wearing the lip pencil Soar by Mac topped with the new Pixi MultiBalm in shade ‘Wild Rose’. The MultiBalms are really hydrating and you can actually use them on your eyes, cheeks, and lips– so I’m looking forward to packing some next time I travel. I’m also wearing Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation, Marc Jacobs Air Blush, and Gerard Cosmetics Star Powder highlighter. I opted for natural lashes this day, but I’ve been yearning for eyelash extensions again! Does anyone else go back and forth with loving/hating them?

If you’ve had a chance to visit my new online shop, you may recognize my necklace as the Meg Choker! If you’re into minimalist-style jewelry and super on-trend sunglasses, you might like it– and fun fact: all of the chokers are handmade by one of my best friends and I!

Love the black theme going on from outfit to accessories.
As a fan of these kinds of bands, I’m always curious if the people wearing band merchandise have ever listened to the bands in question!
I think the variety out there is more than broad enough– everyone should be able to find a tee in line with their tastes 🙂
You look amazing – love these photos! The heavy metal band shirt looks great on you – not something I could pull off 😛
I love this combination! Suede booties are my thing but this combination just exemplifies this season’s trends!
