I got started on my personal zipper trip with a sophomorenyc zipper skirt that is so simple yet so versatile.
Gotta love Alexander Wang for offering up the high fashion alternatives. I'm not surprised, as wearable biker chic with a slouchy twist has been a big part of his aesthetic recently.

American Apparel focuses its exposed zippers mainly on pants and bodysuits. Do let me suggest bright colours whenever possible because too many black garments with exposed zippers may send off more biker/punk vibes than you wish for.

Topshop interprets the trend by churning out numerous garments with multiple zippers. I say the more, the merrier!

Our local blogshops offer up good pickings by way of chunky fasteners.

Well, what do you know. An adornment that (finally) has kind of a functional purpose? I'm loving it. Any other shops out there you know of that are carrying it now?
