Yes, skulls. I know, a little macabre. But this symbol famous for depicting death and a favorite of Halloween fans everywhere is popping up in the fashion scene. Fast. But you don’t have to raid Hot Topic or wear pants that could fit two people in them to wear this trend.
Even celebs are wearing skull-inspired patterns. Check out three more ways to wear skulls after the cut.
1. Cutout detail
There’s nothing scary about this: a simple front gives way to a dangerously detailed back.
2. Grungy tank
Paired with skinny jeans and black boots, this bony-but-playful-gentleman will give you definite edginess.
3. Printed scarf
Skull-printed scarves are my favorite way to sport the pattern. These Alexander McQueen neon wraps might be a bit out of price range, but will add that pop or color in a shape that people wont expect.
Lovelies, do you ever wear skulls? What’s your favorite way to wear them?

I remember when celebrites rocked the skull print scarf about five or six years ago. I jumped on the bandwagon and had one too. Had it tied to my purse just like all the other famous ladies. I knew I should have kept it. Didn’t think the skulls would come back so quickly.

@daydreams_nightmares@xanga - Likewise. That shirt with the skull-backing is pretty cool, though. Besides that, anything with printed skulls just reminds me of pseudo-goth adolescence…

I didn’t know skulls were a young kid thing haha. I wear skull earrings from Betsey Johnson all the time and I have a grungy tank top from Unif that is a skeleton hand doing the devil horns/rock on sign. I always see that first shirt on Pinterest. I forget where it’s from, but I remember clicking it and the site listed the shirt as $100+. I want to say it was $300, but that sounds like a lot.

On a Misfits t-shirt.

I’m not exactly a skull fan but sometimes I see really nice outfits that just happen to have skulls on them and I buy them. I really like this Hot Topic bikini that has cherry skull patterns on a black background outlined in red. Its so sexy! I want!

@raised_bywolves@xanga - absolutely.

Yeah… I wore skulls before they became popular… I love that cut-out!

I like the rock n roll look on chicks.

I’ve been wearing skulls since like high school…I wouldn’t add it to my style because its now popular, but I won’t cut it out either. I just subtly add it in, mostly with jewelry.
