Balmain SS11
Fashion trends in 2011 which, despite being unlikely to indulge in ourselves, they basically cannot ignore. And that is because they have an impact on other trends that are important to us.
Such trend is punk - a trend that last emerged in 2010 and that will continue to influence the fashion aesthetic of 2011 and potentially beyond. Partially filling the vacuum left behind by completed and dusted trends, such as the likes of military, gothic and grunge, it is punk's ability to impact on other trends, such as 2011's motorbike stylish trend (the stronger and more versatile of the trends), that makes it worth watching and noting.
Punk fashion: the full blown trend
Punk fashion as a full blown fashion trend. Lots of of the common elements of punk have already had lots of exposure over recent seasons as a part of other trends: leather, military / combat, bondage / fetish, ripped stockings, and tattoos (which are now commonplace) are some examples. There is a lot cross over that, while punk definitely warrants a mention for spring / summer 2011, it by no means stands in isolation.
Hence for 2011, the punk fashion trend ought to be less about an overall theme and more about mixing punk elements with other seasonal trends. For example, something ultra-feminine with a punk-rock edge.

Heavy boots
Combat boots (dovetailing with the military fashion trend), Doc Martens, or biker boots can punk up an outfit - particularly when paired with skinny jeans or skinny leather pants
