After the shocking rebellion of the 1970's, the punk fashion scene underwent a revolution of its own and began to focus more on functionality than shock factor. Dr. Martens and combat boots (often with steel toes) became the footwear of choice among the majority of punk followers. Plaid skirts, torn jeans, and heavy chains were the most common items worn during the 1980's.

Punk Clothing - It has often been said that everything in the fashion world is recycled. This is because of the phenomenon that fashion trends are repeated every twenty or thirty years. One of the best examples of this is the 70’s revival in the 90’s, which did not only influence fashion but the different aspects of popular culture as well. If this rule of repeating fashion trends is to be followed, it can be expected that in the first decade of the twenty-first century, it would be 80?s fashion, specifically the punk fashion trend, that would make a comeback, and indeed it has. This comeback, although expected was not anticipated to be as big as it has become, which has made every fashionista scramble to get those big belts, striped shirts and a pair of Chuck Taylor’s.
