LOUD & TASTELESS: Charli XCX

Every Thursday, AF profiles a style icon from the music world. This week, we’re gushing over Charli XCX’s gothic wardrobe. There’s tons of black and velvet and we can’t get enough.

Charli XCX Audiofemme

Charli XCX has the ability to pull off cropped tees, netted shirts and even the 90s-redux plaid skirt. She’s a tough girl with a strong voice, which is why it’s so hard not to notice her style. She piles on black on black and then smears on black eyeliner to complete her look. She’s the smokey temptress who is bound to steal the heart of anyone who crosses her path. Take a goth lesson from this UK pop star as you browse our Pinterest board and listen to her hit, “You (Ha Ha Ha)” below.

LOUD & TASTELESS: Cults

Every Thursday, AF profiles a style icon from the music world. This week, we’re highlighting Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion of Cults. Piles of black clothing compliment the duo’s haunting sound.

 

Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion tend to have slight variations of the same outfits almost every time I see pictures of them or videos of their performances. And that’s OK with me. Follin sticks to either a skater dress/shirt and pleated skirt combo, usually in dark colors. If it’s summer, bare legs and sneakers are involved. In winter, she warms up with black tights. Oblivion sports various button-down shirts (usually a crisp white), frequently buttoned to the top and paired with either jeans or suit pants. Sometimes he’ll throw on a tie, other times he’ll throw on a cardigan. Regardless, he always looks polished and she always looks cute in a not-to-be-messed-with way. Together, they make a great duo, musically and stylistically. We’ve picked out some pieces from Urban Outfitters that are likely to be in their closets or packed away for tours. Listen to their song “High Road” from their most recent release, Static, via Soundcloud while you check out our Cults-inspired Pinterest board, linked below.

LOUD & TASTELESS: Empress Of

Every Thursday, AF profiles a style icon from the music world. This week’s icon is Lorely Rodriguez, the Brooklynite better known as Empress Of. She made her rounds at CMJ 2013 and stole our hearts with her dreamy pop and feminine menswear.

Though relatively new to the music scene, Empress Of is already stealing our hearts. Her hits like “Champagne” and “Hat Trick” have the perfect combination of dreamy ’90s pop and new-age synthesizers to get a crowd to hang on her every note during performances. And then there is her clothing. She combines oversized blazers with awesome print pants to accentuate her tiny frame. Who doesn’t love a good pant? Other times, she’s sporting button-ups, and there’s usually a collar involved. It’s business meets girly, much like her music. While we wait for her to rise to stardom on the radio, we’ll be busy ordering every peter pan collar shirt ModCloth will let us buy. Check out our Pinterest page for ideas on how to nab Rodriguez’s sweet style.

Before you do, listen to “Realize You”, one of our faves from the talented beauty, here via Soundcloud:
