Assert your edge with 10 punk-inspired pieces for fall

Punk is back. But don't worry; we're not talking mohawks and torn hosiery. Let's leave that to the kids. We're older now. And more refined — which makes today's subtler, more mainstream punk styles mom-friendly.
The fall 2013 runways were rife with studs, spikes, zippers, buckles, plaid and leather. Wear them all at once, and your kids may pretend they don't know you. But just a touch of the trend — on clothes or accessories — will make you the coolest mom in the school parking lot.
Preppies were probably mortified when the punk crowd adopted plaid, but today's fashionista revels in it. These subtle patterned pants can be dressed up or down. ($69.90 Zara [https://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/trousers/checked-legging-style-trousers-c269187p1467015.html])
