Fashion and Music: Jared Leto

After covering Taylor Momsen in relation to music and fashion, I decided I should try to do the same with her male counterpart, Jared Leto. 
 Like Taylor, Jared is an actor/musician and also the lead singer of his band, 30 Seconds to Mars.  Also like Taylor, he definitely has based his style around punk, rock and roll, and grunge.  Also like Momsen, Leto has been known to rock some serious eyeliner.

 Jared's look is constantly changing along with his hair, but some pretty consistent looks for him include combat boots, slim fit trousers, and leather jackets.  His style taste sometimes reminds me of a slightly more refined version of the Sex Pistols.
 Jared Leto is also a fashion enthusiast and a regular at Fashion Week runway shows and events.  Just a few days ago Leto was front row at Chanel sitting next to Alexa Chung and rocking a sheer shirt and a wrap skirt over zipper pants.
 Perhaps he drew inspiration from Marc Jacobs who obviously loves to rock a skirt or a kilt every now and then.  This just shows that he is a bit experimental with his fashion and isn't afraid to try something new.



 One thing about Jared's fashion is that what he wears onstage is mostly stuff he would wear off stage as well.  For some musicians, their performance wear is a costume and not something they would wear while grabbing coffee, but Jared stays true to his own personal style and makes conscious fashion choices that give him a consistent image.

 One thing about Jared's style that is constantly changing is his hair.  It's been dark, light, red, pink, blue, long, short, shaved, mo-hawked, quiffed, and pretty much any combination of the above.  Rocker guys could definitely look to Jared to get new ideas and inspiration for their hair and fashion alike.
And here's Jared fearlessly wearing a mesh tank and some awesome red Valentino high tops just because.
