Alternative style is everywhere these days; it may not be the fashion forward, cutting edge designs that we see on the catwalk, but the very alternative style that we adorn, be it day to day or for a simple shopping outing is all the more accessible today.

Notes of gothic couture, vintage style, and even tattoo inspired wear can be found gracing the shelves, or web catalogues of major high street retailers. One such e-tailer catering for alternative inspired attire is very.co.uk.

With a wide range of designers and labels in store you can find alternative favourites amongst. With the likes of Ed Hardy, Anna lou of London, David & Golaith, to Barry M gracing their catalogue. Amongst alt friendly attire from labels like PPQ, & Rocket Dog.

Stunning rockabilly nautical, & leopard prints can be seen amongst their latest collections online; with gloth spandex, and velvets, to vintage inspired parsian chic.

We tested out a few of their alt labels, and inspired ranges in store for a touch of classic alt wear.

Fearne Cotton for Converse; leopard print trainers.

A mainstream favourite, who'd have known she has such good indie inspired taste?

Ever a long running alt favourite for casual footwear, Converse have long been gracing the wardrobe of many in the alt scene. Whether it's for their emo friendly

graphic prints, or the classic converse star trainers.

We adore this leopard print design with contrasting red detailing; they even come with a spare pair of red laces for some extra contrast to your look. Perfect for alt day wear, and an exclusive to very; so a rare design to add your collection!

You can find touches of vintage style everywhere this year; if it's not lace dresses, it's stunning retro repro lingerie, or romantic accessories. This vintage inspired necklace adds a simple touch of vintage style without breaking the bank.

A bronzed style envelope on a short chain; this hangs off either side of the chain, and it's even usable! You can open the little flap to keep a few little keepsakes inside. Perfect to add a simple touch of vintage style to any outfit.

Eyeko vintage polish

A relatively new brand to the scene, Eyeko have been creating manga inspired cosmetics for the past few years. We adore their cute packaging and range of essential pieces.

This stunning jade green vintage polish is the newest to their collection; a take on the must have pastel shades gracing the likes of Chanel, & alt faves Illasmasqua's summer collections, but at a snippet of the price!

A stunning mint pastel shade when worn, and so adorably packaged in a little eyeko bag.
