Contrary to what my daily wardrobe might suggest — you can usually find me in a pretty predictable ensemble of lululemon leggings and a Bari top — I love fashion. Since starting Bari, I’ve had to get creative about how to maintain my personal style while prioritizing function (in other words, spandex is mandatory). Enter: fitness fashion — clothing that melds high fashion trends with fitness function. Win, win — right?

Lately, I’ve been inspired by the punk rock trend that has infiltrated the fashion scene this fall — and I’m tackling it full force.

After visiting the Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibition at the Met this past summer, I’ve been fully afflicted with punk fever and the rebellious aspect of this avant-garde ideology. Punk sub-culture is fascinating; everything from its anti-establishment views and the promotion of individual freedom is empowering, inspiring and across-the-board badass. Individuality with a side of kick ass? We’re obviously on board at Bari.

As workout gear becomes more fashion forward — pushing the bounds of fitness expression and making it harder to draw the line between workout gear and standard clothing — it gives me great peace of mind knowing that people might not notice that I wear workout attire 90 percent of the time. In celebration of punk culture and badass individuality, I’ve rounded up my favorite items that motivate me to sweat, kick ass and feel a little rebellious in the classroom.

1. Anti Gravity Bra, $85. To those (like me) who probably own more sports bras than regular ones, meet your new buse (boob muse). Exuding punk characteristics, this contemporary yet sporty bra is something you could have rocked out to a Sex Pistols show back in the 70’s.

2. Vortex Tank, $95. A girl can never have enough tanks, but this one in particular is the definition of bad to the bone.

3. Isis Bodysuit, $250. If Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” taught you anything — and who are we kidding? of course it did — it’s that strutting around in a black bodysuit is always a great idea (especially if you want him to put a ring on it).

4. Gauntlet Arm Warmers, $70. Out of the many things to thank Madonna for, we should be most grateful for putting arm gloves back on the radar. On those cold winter days that are quickly approaching, layer these on to keep wARM. (Get it?)

5. Psyche Leggings, $195. If only we had an audience to Bari to… These pants literally make me want to jump off a stage and crowd surf into the imaginary masses. (If you see me in class in these pants, be forewarned. I can’t promise I won’t attempt this.)

6. Coot Shorts, $220. An ode to the genius that managed to create a short out of garbage bag-esque material and make it look damn cool. Pair with Isis Bodysuit for a killer outfit.
