Pop-punk fashion is back: Here’s how to wear it
Pop-punk fashion is back: should we be surprised? Thanks to nostalgic TikTokers, pop-punk is the latest 90s trend to find its way to social media. An aesthetic made famous by bands like Blink-182, Green Day, Sum 41, and Good Charlotte, pop-punk in 2025 is much more than angsty band tees, ultra skinny jeans, plaid, and platform boots.
Here are the five quintessential pop-punk staples and how to style them.
1. Fishnet tights
Fishnet items—especially dresses—are a huge part of pop-punk fashion, and tights are definitely also part of the trend. Pair them with statement-making, oversized outfits or with white socks and a chic leather ensemble à la Chanel.

Bold statement belts were all the rage this past year; studded belts are the pop-punk take on the trend. Take a note from Alexander McQueen’s Autumn/Winter 2019 collection and pair your studded belt with a romantic, frilly dress for a balanced hard/soft look.

Plaid is the must-have pop-punk staple, and no one is doing plaid in 2024 like Chopova Lowena. The London-based brand puts a contemporary twist on plaid through materials and silhouettes that we just can’t get enough of.
An always-cool pop-punk print: plaid is making its way to our wardrobes this season, either styled with an edge or a touch of prep.
