Living in small college town, you don't see your everyday student wearing a spiked necklace and graphic tee to class. Punk trends are accepted by few individuals who dare to be different, at least this is true in the city of Athens. The image show on the left is an outfit featured on the Nasty Gal website. When I am walking around New York or LA it is very common to see your everyday person wearing this to class, running errands, or maybe even out on the town. I believe that the Punk trend is very prominent in larger urban areas and in youth. Middle aged women  would not be seen wearing this particular outfit or anything similar. I see the Punk trend remaining popular on the runway and it being toned down by retailers so it can appeal to consumers.  Punk inspired accessories will also be worn to spice up an outfit but never the entire punk look. I also do not see retailers in Athens taking on this look and featuring it in their stores in the future.  Punk is hard trend to be pulled off by the masses.
