Tartan and other heritage fabrics have long been a punk staple - as this pic of Johnny Rotten proves. But these classic prints are looking a little less "in your face" for A/W...

Alberta Ferretti sent models down the runway in elegant tartan embellished shifts - a far more ladylike take on the trend.

Tartan isn't the only trend getting a punk update - Laura Carmichael wore her heritage print with a rock and roll twist - black lace and a slip style dress - at the punk-themed Met Gala.

Another way to make heritage fabrics cool? Wear them boyish, like Cara Delevingne's slouchy trousers.

Our tip for wearing tartan: Wear one piece and team with modern separates - like London girl Clare Courel.

The easiest way to do the new punk this season? Make the leather skirt your style staple. As <a href="https://beautysale.store/laura-whitemore%22 target="_new">Laura Whitmore<a> shows; styles with zips and asymmetric hems add a rock and roll touch to your look.

The leather skirt was all over the A/W catwalks - and patent styles like those at Topshop Unique, gave the style staple a grown-up makeover.

GoRunwayGo (a little bit) grunge
The biggest transformation of the punk trend on the catwalk? Saint Laurent's grungier update, featuring ripped fishnets, stompy boots, mussed eye make-up and tartan minidresses. Punk + Grunge together? We're calling it Grunk...
Go (a little bit) grunge
Zara's A/W lookbook also chanelled a punk AND grunge spirit - get the look yourself by mixing plaid with leather, ripped fishnets with studs, and stompy boots with slouchy beanies.

GoRunwayOr go glam
Donatella Versace's take on punk (Vunk, as she called it) was an uber-glamorous look at punk's classic styling - think slick and shiny patent leather in skin-tight styles, piles of chain jewellery and long tartan coats. Work the look yourself by wearing a smart dress in a punk-inspired print or fabric.

The new punk is also all about clashing colours and prints, as seen at Moschino - think eye-watering neon pinks, in-your-face striped trousers and loud leopard print.

Of course, no punk-inspired look would be complete without a little embellishment - studs, buckles and spikes are easy ways to punk up your outfit - just ask Sienna Miller, who went all-out for studs at the Met Gala.

Ok, so on first look Nicole Richie's outfit doesn't scream punk. But the clompy androgynous shoes? The cropped shirt teamed with leather skinnies? The new season's take on punk is all about adding a little twist of rebellion to your look - making chunky monk strap shoes, boyish separates and slouchy but skinny leather trousers key to this look.
