Take a style note from these four iconic legends: Keith Richards, Steven Tyler, John Lennon and Jack White.

Even if you're just rocking a(n unbuttoned) white button up and slim pants, some silver pendents, belt buckles, rings and bracelets will seriously enhance. Get them leaning to the pewter end, even a touch tarnished. Jewelry that has a story, or looks like it does makes you looked well traveled. This was bling before bling was bling. Keith Richards acquired thick jewelry around the world as a Rolling Stone and embraced it like a pirate does booty. If you’re in the gold, check independent jewelry designers like Henson and Annie Costello Brown. If you’re playing blister-fingered for your loot, hit up estate sales while on tour or try your luck at flea markets. Sidenote on the power of jewelry: Keith Richard's skull ring has much mythology surrounding it. Legend holds countless tales of its discovery, and an ever larger number of copies. The truth* - David Courts and Bill Hackett were studying the anatomy of the human skull. They made a mold of a real skull and sized it down. They turned it into a ring and gave Keith the only one they ever made. Now they make a new variety of skull, but Keef is the only human alive with that very design. *as far as we know.

Dizzy the eyes along with the ears as you wear layers of prints and scarves on stage. Like Steven Tyler and his mic of a thousand silks, you can pile pattern on print on Prince. Your best bet is to hit it thrift – parking garage summer market places, the out of town Salvation Army, or any local vintage haunt. But another secret – go right to the source at the fabric store. Find a pattern that hits your beat, and get a half-yard for a one of a kind scarf. It might be tattered around the edges, but so are you.

As a rockstar, you presumably wear your sunglasses inside, outside, morning, noon and night. John Lennon took a shape rarely worn and made them his signature. Try the same with a unique frame to don eternally. Sidenote on rockstar power: This is May Pang, Yoko’s approved mistress while they were away. I suppose it also helped that Yoko is a highly open-minded artist.

Especially if your hair is super stringy like Jack White’s, a hat will give you star quality and a quick cover up. Hats command attention and show you’ve got class. The less typical, the better. Like an Amish wide brim, or a fancy top hat. Estate sales are key for super unique finds. Or else try these spots for the top hat.

I know that guys wearing girls clothes is a huge trend right now, and has been a huge trend for a long time. I know tons of guys that wear girls jeans (I have a friend who stole a pair of my jeans…a guy friend),  and sure, there are still guys out there that think they look better in eyeliner than I do, but really Adam Lambert?  Performance calls for different attire than a regular day, and I know he wants to look like a real “rock star,” but I’m sorry, I can’t get over those mud-colored platform boots. And metal angel wings (or whatever the hell those are)? He’s been said to be the male-version of Lady Gaga, but this look really isn’t new. Just go to a suburban mall and wait outside of Hot Topic, or a nightclub on Industrial Night.  Sorry if you love this look, as I’m sure many girls, and guys, will soon have his posters plastered all over their walls.  I’ll admit the one on the left isn’t that bad, but I am not too crazy about a guy that spends more time getting ready, and getting into his flared (ew)  jeans, than I do.
