Some of us look to the runways for fashion, while others look to the streets. But I’ve always looked onstage there’s nothing like girl musicians to spin a new tune on personal style. I asked Alexis of Sleigh Bells, Ilirjana of Apache Beat, Bethany of Best Coast and Caroline of Chairlift what makes up each of their own awesome personal styles. Scroll through the slide show to hear what each woman had to say.
Scroll through to meet the female musicians with the most enviable style and sounds.
