Heading back to school? Let your rocker vibe set the wardrobe tone. Follow this guide and take center stage in graphic tees and skinny jeans.

You’re angst-ridden (or just look like it) and though you play music you did not spend your summer in band camp. Hello, rocker chic! But don’t be a groupie, set the pace with the essentials every rock appreciator has in her closet. Let this back to school shopping guide fill you in.

Must Own

  • Black Converse - Every great rocker girl has her signature pair of ebony Chucks. If you get yours online you can add quirky details and make them your own. Don’t stress it if they get grimy, you camp overnight for your concert tickets and it shows.
  • Skinny Jeans - Make like Mick Jagger and grab rock skinny jeans this term. Skinny jeans have gone mainstream but chose yours in a dark rinse. Levi’s are the original jean company, so start with their awesome selection of skinny ones. A sure fire bet is their Levi's® {re-issued} 1966 Skinny Jeans.
  • Black Vest - A black vest is the chic in rocker chic style. For curvier girls, they slim the profile. Throw one over a basic white tee or wife-beater and you are fabulous. Pair the whole thing with a tassel scarf and you are a certified platinum hit.
  • Graphic Tee - Graphic tees are everywhere this season and your closet should not be left out. Get yours in black and dark grays with lightning bolts and cheeky hearts. If you going for one with a phrase be polite, you are going to school.
  • Black Eyeliner - Every rocker chic knows your eye makeup lets them feel your emotions from the back of the class. Be Winehouse-esque and chose liquid liner that comes with a precision brush. You don’t have to wing tip but if you got bodacious spirit that’s a fun look.
  • Striped Hoodie - A striped hoodie is just the thing for your rocker chic vibe. It is your jacket for that over chilly classroom and an after school over jeans girl rocker look.
  • Leather Short Jacket - All rocker chic gals have that touchstone leather jacket. Keep your youthful spin on the classic by making sure yours is cropped. A cropped leather jacket is the difference between rocker chic and one hit wonder. Throw it over anything dressy and have an amazing oxymoron.
  • A Go Green Bag - You might not be headlining a Live 8 concert but let your purse show where you stand. Get an eco-friendly tote without sacrificing all your green. Forever 21 offers cheap options with amusing sayings.
