Indie rock stars, Tegan and Sara, show off their tour closet and edgy style in
the latest installment of leading e-retailer Bluefly’s popular video series,
Closet Confessions. The Canadian singer-songwriter sisters are known for
their infectious tunes but are also widely followed for their distinctive looks.
Filming from their trailer at New York’s Pier 26 in the midst of a popular tour
with fellow alt-pop band, fun. they showcase a wardrobe of eclectic, ‘90s
–tinged apparel for a video that’s full of street style inspiration.
The guitar-toting duo’s Closet
Confessions episode launching on Bluefly’s website September 16, shows an
exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at what makes the musicians’ outfits sing on
stage. “We have this whole thing: The photo will last forever, but the
discomfort will last only as long as the set,” says Sara about her ensembles
that include leather jackets in the heat of summer. The resulting vibe is
impossibly cool, downtown style with an androgynous bent—a look that’s quickly
gaining popularity both in the streets and on the runways.
“A lot of brands are tailoring their clothes to look a little
more gender neutral,” Tegan enthuses. “When skinny jeans started happening [we
were] stoked. High-waisted pants? Into it.” Their favorites from their
collective closet include printed leggings to wear with leather jackets and
oversized tees, chunky Dr. Martens and acid wash denim that harken to the ‘90s,
and Miu Miu studded lime green sneakers—all components for the perfect
rocker-chic closet. Luckily for everyone’s inner rocker, Tegan and Sara are also
taking over Bluefly’s sister site, Belle & Clive, to curate a collection of
covetable items like studded clutches and printed skinnies, so that anyone can
achieve their indie darling look.
