Ties Aren't Just for Formal Wear

Step aside, businessmen. When Avril burst on the scene in 2002 with "Complicated," she had a signature look—a loosely-fastened tie over her tank top or T-shirt. It hasn't stood the test of time, but throw a tie over your tee and one name will instantly come to everyone's mind: "Avril."

There Are So Many Ways to Camouflage Your Body

Shirt, pants, maxi skirt and beyond: Avril's brought camo to many styles, proving there isn't a wrong way to embrace camouflage.

A Shirt Can Admit the Things We're Too Shy to Say

Have a crush on a commercial cartoon character? There's a shirt for that.

School Uniforms Got It Goin' On

Got a plaid skirt or an argyle sweater in your closet? Avril shows how one piece can make a look schoolgirl chic. Keep the rest simple with black pants or a sweatshirt and you're ready for class.

Pink, Green and Pink + Green Are Totally Legitimate Hair Colors

Avril's never abandoned her signature long, blonde locks, but she has added color here and there. If you're hesitant to make a dramatic hair transformation, try a streak of pink a la the pop punk.

Nothing Is What It Seems

A master of optical illusions, Avril shows that a vest isn't always a proper vest (it's actually attached to her shirt), and a zipper can just be a T-shirt design. Fashion can be sneaky!

Sometimes Fashion Imitates Real Life

For example, this below T-shirt, which looks just like Avril's very own eyes and glasses. Meta!

You Can Have It All

In this look, the clothes are totally punk rock, but Avril mixes in hip hop (cornrows!) and a touch of glam rock (or football jock...) with a gold streak under her eye. It's like every high school clique rolled into one look!

Onesies Can Be Punk Rock!

Just grab your combat boots, vibrant eye shadow and throw on a sparkly bra for good measure.

Sweatbands Aren't Just for the Gym

Avril wore a gym essential next to studded bracelets, adding a bold pop of color.
