Kardashian rounds things out with black sunnies and a black mini bag and what appears to be a Versace wallet sticking out of the brim of the bag. With a little help from Barker, it seems that the Kardashian has been adopting a grunge aesthetic these days, making it her mission to match with the rough stylings of the Blink-182 drummer.

The pair has appeared together in mostly black, and a lot of it, passing on color for a post-punk style. Barker wore a distressed black tee, black skinny jeans and thick black sunglasses. The musician also wore a hefty gold chain.

Both Kardashian and Barker wore black shoes with a slight sheen. Kardashian chose to step out in black chunky platform boots with a round, pronounced toe. Barker bets on a classic pair of creepers with a slight platform. Both styles of shoes are very grunge, indeed, offering the pair extra inches and, of course, an edgier presence. Thick platforms are always a good idea for those who are looking to make an entrance. The shoe commands attention, and isn’t that what the grunge movement is all about?

See Barker and Kardashian’s edgiest style moments together.
